Another working holiday

Some of us (the lucky few) are enjoying a 4-day long weekend. Tomorrow is Human Rights Day, a public holiday - and some companies have given their employees Monday off too. I fall into that category, without complaint.

So what have I done this weekend? The usual. Work. Not Work work, but Home work. I have one wall left to paint, but while doing the others have managed to change the house around a bit, clean up the masses of toys under and around my son's bed (with assorted dog hair and sneaked-in bones), and paint one unfortunate small spider into the wall (sorry!).

I've still got one day left to play with, and have carried over the washing, baking and other cleaning to tomorrow. There's the lawn that needs mowing, a couple of bulbs to plant and roses to shift into pots - but I think I'll wait until after payday for some of those, so I can get a bit of kraalmis (cowpoo, nicely matured) and mulch to bed things down for the winter and/or give the tomatoes one final push toward fruition.

Now, however, I'm just going to sit for a bit. The wind's howling along outside - nowhere near cyclone, thank goodness - so I'm having an indoors day. For at least an hour, I'm actually going to have a holiday.
