休息这些天，整天都在刮风。刮啊刮啊，太阳大，风更大。适合晒晾衣服，但一定得夹好夹子，否则全都得飞到邻居家院子里去了。 出门就算了，头发长、裙子短而泡，搞得跟不正经的魔女似的，不好看！ 院子里的花花草草虽然被吹着，但是好在周围有一圈篱笆挡着，所以还造不成什么不可逆转的伤害，都还在太阳底下拼命往上长。就是傍晚时分看着有点蔫儿，也难怪——要不你试试在外面吹上一天，看看你自己蔫不蔫儿？ 想想十年前老是想躲北京的风沙，所以就跑到地球的这个角落来了。虽然这儿的风里没有什么沙土，但还是在风里活着——人生永远是没处可躲的，你说好玩不好玩儿？
For a day trip to Sydney, we would have a fairly tight schedule, but the plan ended up being carried out quite okay. We didn’t try to do too much but picked a couple of places that only Sydney people could take the adventage to enjoy, like Ikea and Sydney Fish Market (I always regret [...]
It seems that growing chillies outside can speed up maturity. I don’t know where I get this funny theory, but it was kind of proved well in the past two days. You know it took a long time to form big flower buds for my chillies, but since I put the pots outside yesterday, this [...]
这个圣诞节，我收到了不少同事送给我的礼物。 巧克力自然不用说了，这两天在单位每天吃人家送的巧克力都够当午饭了，外加拿着成盒的Lindt往家提。 我的Paper Snowflake成了畅销货，哪个外面的人来办公室看见了都对我特客气——其实就是想要我教他们怎么做啊～ 我的一个同事送了我一个红色的玻璃盒子，很漂亮。我打算把我的优点都写在分别的小纸条上，放到盒子里。然后我就每天抽出一个看，肯定能够成功地把自己陶醉死:-) 另外一件礼物是一个白色木头的玻璃像框，内有一海洋生物的小雕塑，像是一种海螺。当然不是真的，但是对我来说很有象征意义。根据我最新掌握的房屋风水知识，我已经用它取代了老公书房里原来的一张红色沙漠的照片。 最让我激动的是我同事从她妈后院里给我挖出来的各种各样的Succulent，估计有十来种左右吧。我乐得都快喘不过气了。实在等不及买新的宽口大盆再载 了，所以就先凑合用原来旧的一个window tub种植完毕了。想着等到所有的植物都适应到位之后，过段时间我再考虑和我原有的Succulent做一些关于“美学”方面的调整，现在还不是时候。 圣诞节不是中国人玩儿的东西，但是过圣诞可以放很长很长的假。今天把单位的桌子收拾了，扔掉旧的，准备好新的。我要1月5号再回去上班，想想再回去就是新的一年了，真是爽！ 还有就是可以天天晚上开着圣诞树的彩灯，收到这么多卡片，还有这么多新东西，还有这么多事情可以期盼……我觉得自己跟十岁小孩过年的心态没有什么区别…… 回家下午一直放着Laura Fygi唱的The Very Best Time of Year，音乐温暖、洋溢着一种令人愉悦、安详的动人气氛——的确是《一年中最美好的时光》。
About 1-2 weeks ago, when these things were very very tiny, my husband and I spent quite a bit of time arguing what these little things are. You think we are the silliest farmers in the world, do you? But seriously, when they were tiny, it was very hard to determine what they were…… flower [...]
Having taken about a whole month time holding my breath waiting and looking, the potted hydrangea in my courtyard finally turned out its true colour….aha, IT’S PINK! Well, thanks the God, as I had prayed as much as I could, it is not green, but out of blue, I actually found out that I was [...]
