‘These woods are lovely,dark 

and deep,

But i have promises to keep,

And miles to go before i sleep,

And miles to go before i sleep.

ROBERT FROST

 

There simply isn’t any time to crawl up into bed and sleep life away for a while, children are a blessing like that, i guess. They keep you moving, focused and in the moment and always on them; if it were to be any other way, i quite possibly might not get out of bed on this day.

soul music.. a night spent with magic mountain band

my husband and I accompanied a good friend of ours to see  this fabulous band play last Thursday night. We jumped at the chance for a night out without any children in tow. The venue was at Somewhere Studios in Northcote, what can i say.. perfect. we were surrounded by creative inspiration, in this warehouse style studio/home. there was an open fire burning out the front with the musicians, their fans and like-minded music enthusiasts all sitting around enjoying each others company, sipping on mugs of mulled wine, warming their souls before the night began. Inside, a pot of vegetarian hot soup awaited with fresh sticks of lightly salted olive oil toasted bread for dipping, a pot belly stove in the middle of the room quietly burning, surrounded by candles, people gathered, talked, ate and then, listened..slowly swept away into a musical meditation with naturally beautiful imagery. You couldn’t help but be swept away within the enchantment of this sacred sound. What a great night, thank you.

We spent this welcomed Sunday simply hanging out at home reading, playing and reluctantly tending to the laundry, oh and eating an abundance of left over cake from a friday night birthday gathering for our two oldest girls. The whole family is enjoying our new pre loved couch that is so comfortable it’s almost impossible to get up off, which is not such a bad thing. We set up an outdoor room on our back decking that is providing a nice little hide away, one day we’ll transform it into another room and then we can all argue about who needs the space more. Nash, our 12 year old spent some much needed playing time with the babies which was really nice to see, this is a tough age to be, for us all.
