sitting on the couch waiting for the last load of washing to finish up...
been a great day so far - the fact that i got to mow my lawns at LAST was enough of greatness :-) nothing can pull me down from here :-)
it was damn hard work, but it always is when it's the first for the season, and when you're not used to the lawn mower hehehe gav bear lent me his mower last night so i could attack it since my 2 mowers are rendered useless for the time being...
so it was a 3 hour session today, and the catch on the mower didn't catch as much as what i'm used to, but that's fine cause it meant i only emptied it out half a dozen times, as compared to the usual 12-15 times with my mower lol
i love fresh cut grass. the smell. the look. pride in one's home and garden.
so i'll fire up the bbq for dinner tonight, took out some chook fillety bits and a couple of snags, just shoved some instand soy bbq marinade on them all just to give it a bit of excitement....
i had a lovely evening with david last night who came up to visit for dinner.... went to the commercial hotel, for the first time - boy the bar was fairly rough around the edges (the crowd was anyway lol)
went next door to the bistro, the menu is fairly simple and short.... as compared to hudson's at the roundabout which has a bit more variety to choose from.... guess i'm just used to hudson's having been there quite a few times, nice food and great service, not usually as rowdy as the commercial was.....
so i struck it lucky at the bistro... my meal and entree was about 24 bucks and after paying with 40 cash, she ended up giving me about 38 bucks change LOL no idea how that worked but i only really thought about it later after dinner lol i know i should've said something, but i just felt it was a bit of luck for me for a change :-)
came back home afterwards then david went outside for a smoke and i joined him and we ended up just staring into the night sky for about 15 minutes, he was trying to find a couple of constellations, and i was just amazed at the beauty of the stars. i said it was almost like looking up at a ceiling that had little lights all over it - when you've been staring upwards at it for that long, it certainly made it feel that way...
i do forget to just look up sometimes... but there have been a few times late at night when i've gotten home from somewhere, work or the laird or something like that, and i've noticed the sky being completely clear of clouds, so i go park the truck and then just wander out into the backyard and sit and look up for a while admiring nature's light show..... one of the advantages of living a bit further out in the sticks i guess!
one day i'll remember and suck it up and setup the little telescope thing i have and start a bit of exploration for something different.... no shed on the slab yet (after almost 3 and a half years lol) so it's a perfect spot to have the scope setup on a good firm surface.....
start the new job tomorrow. as usual with any new job i've had, i'm not excited, i'm just ready for it.
hmmm my feet are a bit sore, along with most parts of my body lol, but it would be nice to have a foot rub right about now :-) ah never mind lol
i'd just settle for the pain in the right joint of my jaw to disappear completely!
