The things that matter.

The things that matter (in no particular order): a long Scrabble game ending in a draw; tossing socks into a distant laundry basket; Josef's guitar lessons and playing scales; tap practice; exercises of various kinds; feeding banana tips to Jazz ; rinsing dishes really well; writing and revising travel stories; a good night's sleep; Uncle Peter repeatedly twisting the front door knob on his visits; very late lunches in food courts; shopping for salmon fillets; meals and outings with Tess and Dan; clean hands; reminding dad not to overeat; Thursdays when mum stays home for a while; rare messages from school friends; Tassie people and places; memories of Berlin; appointments at Box Hill; occasional gatherings at the rel's houses; visitors to the kitchen; a temperature of 23 degrees or above; well-fitting socks, shoes and clothes; grace before dinner; music; keeping bugs safe from harm; staying well and many more.
