green swirly carpet
Here is a little summary of what has been happening in my life.. lifted from an email I was writing..
I have started renting a house here in Alstonville (between Ballina and Lismore). It is a nice 4 bedroom house (Am sharing with my brother, who will be coming in about a month's time). We needed a big house so we could spread out, and not get in each others way. I will need an office and he needs something similar (to have his drum kit in etc). The carpet is green and swirly.. and the chores never seem to end. Washing, cleaning, cooking, listening to the birds (which of course isn't a chore), and.. unpacking.. Sunday's job will be mowing the lawns!
Have been blessed with a great deal of generosity and hospitality here. It has been great!! Have been adopted by the Hughes family (if you know them, Andrew Kingston's wife's family) who have made sure I have table and chairs, microwave, tv, pots and pans, lawnmower, kitchen utensils, CD player, record player, queen bed mattress, tv cabinet... etc.. Either through a long term loan of the items from them, or through the gracious giving of the Adra shop. Lovely!
Have started work as of yesterday. Went in and CLEANED out my room. Gosh, it was dirty!! and messy... and unorganised and full of stuff that didn't belong to me etc.. It was frustrated, but really rewarding. Today I went through and took an inventory of everything. There isnt' much there, but it will do for a while. It is going to be exciting starting a music department there. I really hope that it will grow!!
Really tired right now, but content with all the jobs I have been doing. Have a renewed respect for my mum. I don't know how she worked full time and kept a house going, as well as teaching singing, being heavily involved with church business and raised a family!! I must say, MOTHERS ARE AMAZING!!
