Hump Day Happiness – the pre-conference one.
In two sleeps I will be in Sydney at the Australian Blog Conference. I have been planning, fretting, thinking for what seems like months and now it is happening.
While I am in an excited preparation bubble the world has been once again rocked. Once again I am, like all of us are, lost for words at how to come to grips with the devastation that is Japan. And all I have to do is watch on television and answer questions from the Blue Eyed Boy and the Green Eyed Girl from the comfort of the couch. So, while the World does keep spinning, and my world is a safe, happy and excited one, not all the world is. While this weekly post is about finding the happy and the good, I can’t post without acknowledging what has and still is going on in Japan. In all honesty, I don’t think this is a time to talk climate change or debate nuclear power. ÂIt’s a time to think about human lives and losses. It is a time to hold the light for those who can’t do it themselves.
So, now, on with Hump Day Happiness, and light of above this week it’s the small and the simple.
Bounty. This week I have made tomato chutney from red, over ripe tomatoes.
Garden. Rainbow chard is growing, garlic is sprouting, beetroot is pushing through the soil.
Family. Safe, secure, happy, here.

I’m so jealous of all you Aussie bloggers going to your conference! Hope you have a great time. I use that phrase too – “in 2 sleeps.” It makes the most sense to my son!
