Not a happy gardener, because it’s too wet for me to do any gardening today. My garden is extremely happy though, due to a good, solid soaking of rain that has hardly let up all day.
When I saw a magpie, a currawong, and two kookaburras outside my kitchen window this morning, my first thought was one of amusement – they are social distancing! Then I thought, but this is the way birds always act. They never get into each other’s space, they wait patiently, distanced from one another. No, not social distancing at all. I believe birds understand – they have always known – that they each need their own “personal space”.
There’s nothing to see today where the mountain can usually be seen sitting in all her splendour. Nothing but mist and rain. I took all of my outdoors photos today from either inside, or standing on my back veranda. It’s too wet to venture any further.
I have spent most of today indoors, sorting through masses of papers which have littered my desk for the past three months while I have been engrosed in uni study and assignments. I plonked a grey blanket on top of my sewing table a few weeks ago, and Miss Tibbs seems so happy with it being there that I haven’t had the heart to move it. Now, she sleeps on the blanket, and when she’s not sleeping she’s kneading the blanket! That’s why one of her paws is blurred in the photo – up and down her little paws went, kneading away as happy as could be.
I’m pretty happy too – just look at my desk-top! No really, look at it, because you can! And I can too! This is a rare event! I usually have so many piles of this, that and the other on my desk, but today they have either been thrown in the recycle bin, or put away where they belong. Bliss! ā¤
I have another blissful sight to share too – a pile of books that I have been collecting over the past months of uni. I’m reading two book now, and will work my way through these, and others, during the next few months.
In another week’s time, I think I might have my life sorted and back in order. š
So sweet of you to leave the blanket out for Miss Tibbs. ā¤ļø Good work on that desk! A rainy day well spent. š

Bravo on the desk! You are so fortunate to have the time to read not one but two books. I need to get back to reading fiction!
Other than that you can’t garden, I think your day sounds delightful. XOXO

Miss Tibbs must be purring up a storm in that photo – bliss!
Glad you are transitioning well to your own blissful summer. š

Ahhh, the joys of being able to just relax and read books for awhile. I smiled at your socially distanced explanation of bird behavior. Hopefully you’ll be gardening again soon.
