It's being hot, hot, hot

The house is a mess! And I like it! This week we've scrapped all household duties - they are officially on hold due to the fantastic weather that we've finally received. BBQing everyday, planting veggies, walking around in thin summer clothing until midnight...doing all sorts of things you should be doing when the sun is out. When there is a lovely day here, everyone is outside and then I mean everyone! Only a fool would be inside a week like this as you never know, this might be all that you'll be getting for the whooole summer.

It is hot...

...so hot that we sleep naked at night!

Spring cleaning

Spring is always a busy season. When the days get longer and the weather gets better everyone comes out from their the winter caves and suddenly the social calendar is fully booked within a blink of an eye. Somehow spring also means cleaning and storing away winter clothes and shoes, a general clean out of cupboards and wardrobes, washing windows, tidying the balcony and planting flowers and herbs etc. etc. And at work it's also very busy at this time of the year and plenty of deadlines to meet. Luckily, this spring I don't have to worry about the latter since I'm not working! Instead - before taking onboard the project of scrubbing down the balcony - I spent this morning with our beautiful daughter and a cup of coffee in the sun on the balcony.

The sun is out: time for sandals and some tunnel making in the sand pit.
