sunny days

its funny how much everyone seems to appreciate the nice weather we've had the past 3 days. after several days of "cold" (around 15C) gray, drizzly days everything is soo much nicer when it gets to 20C (which still isn't even tshirt weather for me) and the sky is blue. i've had to work the past 2 nice days (but working with the kids is sooooo much easier when its warmer-- they slow down a lot outside and we can stay out later in the afternoon) but today was my day off (i work again tomorrow). i've gotten really behind on everything (cleaning, ebaying, errands....) and i figured i'd get a lot done today. i didn't wake up until 11:30 which put me a bit behind in starting everyting (i must have needed the sleep if i slept that late cuz i haven't done that in a long time). i still managed to be pretty productive today. i gave my bike a long overdue degreasing and tune up, fixed up the garden a bit (i haven't touched it since we started getting regular rain about 1 1/2 months ago and the weeds were starting to get out of control), got some grocery shopping done, bought more stuff to put on ebay, laundry (although technically zac started that, but then he got called into work so i had to hang it out and wash the FNB tea towels-- they haven't made it out of the washer though).... unfortunately the stuff requiring me to stay inside the house (cleaning up the lounge room and spare room) didn't get done and i didn't want to sit inside the spare room and play on my keyboard either cuz it was too nice to be inside. saturday is supposed to be rainy and gray again so that'll be when i can do that stuff (if i don't find something else to procrastinate with)
