Even though we’ve experienced life in these cabins over countless winters since 2008 I am still finding it a struggle to keep our ‘tiny house’ tidy. I’m continually picking up and putting away. It’s not that we brought our whole life with us – I think we’ve just got out of the habit of containing all our stuff like we’ve done in the past.. I had some thoughts (HERE) on this size of living space in a blog post a few years ago and still can’t make up my mind on it
Consequently (as I’ve often mentioned) we ‘live’ outside – (which is how it should be considering we’re up here in The Dry Tropics to enjoy the warmer winter days) – we’re just not living quite as outside as those around us though. The camping in all guises lifestyle would be great in sunny weather although I’m not so sure about it when the skies are dark and grey and heavy.
And even though, more often than not when the skies darken here at this time of the year nothing ‘comes of it’, I definitely feel better retiring under the solid roof of my ‘tiny house’
This year there’s been an awful lot of afternoons spent in the little sitting area outside the cabin. True to form books and craft are always at the ready with plastic tubs and esky coming in handy as makeshift ‘tables’ – or footstools. Blanket squares are the go at the moment- there was a huge amount of red left from the large bag my friend provided for the notorious stranded jumper so I’m using it to help out another acquaintance with something I know won’t be returned. No nonsense simple easy 40sts 20cm 8ply garter st squares
means I can read or watch tv at the same time – or even just close my eyes
Sunday we took a drive up the hill to look down on the harbour. Mainly to see how much traffic there was in the marina but also to watch the sky. It definitely looked like Storm clouds were a comin’ ….yet we were foiled again! They moved on inland.
Not so on Monday – am & pm – wasn’t exactly tropical, was it😕
And like most everyone else in the park who ‘stayed home’ waiting for the weather to break and the temps to rise, this is how I (and The Golfer I might add) ended up spending most of the day. Lounging around on the bed with a previously unread children’s classic (and those easy knit squares) to keep me company.
No complaints from me though
dry sunny is forecast here for the rest of the week
cold and showery with possible frost back home!!.
