Day 6

My wonderful wife is such a trooper. Everyone thinks shes quiet, but the reality is totally different. She has no idea how to slow down.

33 weeks pregnant, and today she was frustrated that she couldn’t bend down to help do the garden. Rather than go inside and relax like a normal pregnant person, I found her out the front sweeping up the winter grit from the footpath.

I politely took the broom off her and finished up, only to find her inside cleaning the fish take.

I love her quiet determination.

Today I’m grateful for:

– Having friendly neighbors.

– Food parcels from home with tastes and delights from home which we can’t get here. Nothing reminds me how kiwi I really am quite like chocolate covered marshmallow.

– S1 say I should be grateful for cooking shows as they have broadened our food horizons! The reality is I’m just grateful for the Mussels she got me for dinner 🙂
