here i am. it's sunday afternoon and i'm sitting on my balcony blogging! it's been a while between posts as blogger seems to be on again and off again but thanks to pauline, i found out today that it is currently on again. so i thought i should check in while i can.
it's an absolutely GORGEOUS spring day today. blue sky, a few soft cotton wool clouds sparsely spread out. my balcony gets lovely afternoon sun and i'm sitting here in a t-shirt in my comfy chair with the windows open. i can't believe it snowed just a week ago!!!
This afternoon
The ladies who congregate outside my stairwell door even have their own umbrella
The view from my balcony
i'm so grateful for wireless internet - otherwise i'd be stuck at my desk doing this. the other thing (person) i'm thankful for is julie my flatmate. when i lived in this apartment on my own, this (enclosed) balcony wasn't much more than a place to hang laundry and store old boxes. oh yes, and jonah the german shepherd lived in here as well but let's not get into that story. today, there are pot plants with flowers and little seedlings of vegie plants on the way - all thanks to julie. it really is SO pleasant here.
well, i have nothing insightful or interesting to say really. i just wanted to check in, in case there are still people out there who look me up on here once in a while.
