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?
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》。
I was taking up some unfinished business from my previous colleague, who now is on maternity leave. So this morning I had to turn myself to a delivery woman to drive to a rural estate in Googong to deliver a computer pack, which included about 6 different sizes of boxes. Driving from Queanbeyan to Googong [...]
There was a discussion in one of website forums talking about “How much people spend on grocery shopping per week” in the context of living in Australia. My husband and I were surprised to find that the answers to this question can be so varied. A very smart family only spend about $180 per week [...]
Well, it’s the time for this annual fun thing again. This year we decided to do a hat competition in the office due to lady madness , but I ended up giving up the idea of wearing a hat, instead of that, I did flower (not quite a fascinator), a bright blue-ish flower with some [...]
Okay, to make my experience dealing with animals more colourful, now I can finally add this morning’s episode into my history of harassment, or say the history of being harassed by animals. This morning when I was on the way to work, I confronted a very badly-behaviour magpie on the pedestrian sidewalk. This horrible black [...]
