SPRING






Spring is already at the edge even though its existence seems swift. I almost thought that it was ready to bid goodbye without even saying hello. The heatwave a week ago was unexpected that I had to change my wardrobe in a day. There goes the thick jackets and jumpers, and hello blouses and skirts. And oh.. the cottony feel that I have missed the entire winter. So Yazid and I headed to Kmart one hot Monday morning after we sent the kids to school, to find an extra fan as the heat built up ferociously. We were shocked when the store helper said that the entire wall just stocked with fans were sold out in a matter of 2 days. We were lucky to find one at an Op shop, already disappointed earlier when we saw an old man carrying one as we were parking the car. But our luck, there was still one there waiting to be picked.

It has been a quick change, and out of a sudden, the heat turned to cold with heavy rains pouring the southern continent of Australia after it already hit the east coast. I ve heard from the news that the farmers in South Australia are being hard hit most as their crops that are ready to be harvested are destroyed, with losses as much as 2 billion dollars. And so, the soothing cold change is enjoyed with a tingle of guilt by most people, including me. Hoping that this would allow us breath a little longer before we embrace the coming summer which is predicted higher than last year's when the Black Saturday heat bent the railway tracks and killed many lives.

So many things have happened, and seasons go by...but too few made their way to this humble blog. A mother of three, student and a wanna be blogger, its seems quite too much to handle at times. But excuses shouldn't be in the way at all, that's what we hear but seldom listen to.
