This weekend, last weekend, today

After a busy week and late nights, I am longing for days at home, soaking up our little kingdom. Time to fooster around the house and yard, time to read and sleep and be.

This weekend holds a Valentine's Day retreat for me and my beloved. A trip to Kakadu for a sunset picnic at Ubirr (weather permitting), overnight at Jabiru then an early morning walk at Gubara near Nourlangie.

Last Saturday we visited a garage sale, spent $15 on a tent, a camping mattress, book and yoga bolster. M set up the tent on his freshly cut lawn in the afternoon while I wrote and watched him from the window. A big storm last night tested the tent's resilience, but it came out on top.

Today brought news of a trip to Alice Springs at the end of March. Will try and add a few days either side to see some more of this part of the world.
