the happy house list update
We've slowly been making our way through the Happy House List, the checklist I created with a whole new name to make me feel better about having a 500km long to-do list. I made sure I put on some easy-peasy quick-fixes. Like this one above. We bought this planter from a lovely little place in Singleton a few years ago. Sometimes I pop annuals such as violas in it - but it'd been bare since before we went OS. That made me sad.
So I bought these two lovely native violets that may well be the perfect pairing for the plant holder - look at the way the tendrils are starting to trail.
Happiness.
I also planted out the herbs in the window box, and replanted the pink and red geraniums on the side living room windows.
Pretty.
I finally bought a new doormat too. I was searching for the ideal doormat, which either only existed in my dreams or cost around $100. So, no. But at Bunnings the other day I found a simple, black coir doormat. Just right. And only around $20! Score! Love a cheap, quick fix.
My gal's in the middle of exams, and I'm in the middle of a whirlwind couple of weeks with work. This afternoon, after getting the house in order and all the washing done - I'm off on a long, lovely bike ride. Before making a big dish of paella for dinner.
I love weekends.
Please sir, can we have another?
How's things with you?

Sounds like a divine weekend. I love the violets and the rack. And I took would like another weekend like the last one.
ReplyDeleteWhy are weekends so short? I'm a fast worker - I could totally cram five days work into three!
