Australian Summer Nights Are On Their Way

Slowly the cold is shifting & it won't be long until the beautiful summer nights are with us, and they couldn't come much sooner. As previously mentioned, my husband has had an accident whilst building our new home. To be more specific he has lost a thumb to a circular saw & it was not reattached. He is healing slowly but the cold breeze of Autumn days make it harder for him to want to leave the comfort of our bedroom. So the bright sunny days of late are a welcoming site.

The shack is progressing slowly. Limited funds & large tradie bills have pushed us to consider moving into the shack before it's completed. Hey, I love rustic living spaces but I'm not sure what style would define unpainted walls & exposed red tounge floors. But we feel like what the heck. We need a bit of excitment in our lives at the moment and as last month proved, worse things can be experienced.

The whole accident flipped our perception & priorities. I was extremeley disheartened & anything to do with building or decorating was wiped from my life for weeks.The fact that that those things were the reason why my husband was experiencing so much pain & suffering made me angry & upset with them & myself. The quest for a beautiful home had harmed the most important person in my life. But as he has been recovering, I have found myself being inspired again, but drawn to the simplicity of modest, simple, rustic & comfortable living.

But on the bright side, hubby is healing well with me & his trusty companion Raj by his side, & in my anticipation of putting these hard times behind us, I can already smell the scent of Aerogaurd, BBQ's, bonfires and a glass of Moscato in my hand, good times once again.
