雨后的早晨,上班的路上随便抓了两张照片。早晨本来就有点起晚了,急急忙忙披上衣服冲出家门,口吐寒气吭哧吭哧地在冰冷而潮湿的路上快步走着。可看见了这雨后树上挂的晶莹剔透的露珠,再着急还是要忍不住拿出相机拍上几张——这就是走路上班的好处。 其实堪培拉的冬天真的很冷,特别是家里没有北京那烤得暖和和的暖气片,一天下来最好的时光就是晚上钻进电热毯烤热的被窝里。不过,如果堪培拉的冬天还有什么可期待的话,我其实对那些有时能下上几天的冬雨并不特别在意。雨后的早晨,一切都因为这水露而变得格外平静而清新。

昨晚正睡得一个昏死,突然听见电话铃声大作。我从睡梦中被无情地惊醒,试图分辨到底是哪里出来的声音——在做梦还是已经到了早晨?惊魂未定中正准备指使老公去接电话(因他睡在靠近电话机近的一侧),铃声居然就消失了,没有再听见第二声响。 这是谁呀?我侧身查看闹钟,才四点二十。谁会在这个时候打电话给我们? 体验了这瞬间的惊恐,我的大脑开始渐渐清醒复苏,辗转不能再入眠。于是起身去上厕所,回来后才慢慢又失去了知觉。 早上起来后浑身酸痛,吃早饭时查看电话记录,是个“Private”的号码,于今晨4:21am打入。真是有病!!!幸亏不是恐怖片,否则简直跟“午夜惊魂”无异!~
