Back to blogging.

Well, having survived the Christmas/New Year celebrations and the heat wave conditions we are experiencing I decided it was time to burst onto the blogging scene once again.
Life is a bit of a struggle at the moment, drinking lots of water to keep my lousy lungs hydrated.  I used to love summer but find it increasingly difficult to stay well in the heat and humidity.
I have been doing a few constructive things while confined to the cool of the aircon, weeding out cupboards, removing a few of the cobwebs and relocating the spiders that love our high ceilings where they are safely out of reach of my regular but cursory cleaning attempts. I did remember this very relevant Haiku by Issa while I was wielding the broom and apologizing to the spiders, reminding them that they had a had a good run or "a fair suck of the sauce bottle" as we usually say!
Another (the last I promise) Year of the Snake etegami.
Lastly an etegami to thank a neighbour for the wonderful chilli peppers she gave me.

  1. Hi, Origame,
    Nice! Absolutely wonderful post and etegami(I had a big laugh!! Hahaha, "casually"!). Well, I live and let live with some spiders who clean my room.
    Cheers, Sadami

    1. Thanks Sadami.I actually like the big Daddy Long Legs spiders and they do eat the mosquitoes but they have to realize that it is my home too and keep it tidy!

  2. I am very queasy around spiders, but I LOVE your etegami. You certainly are constructive. I don't know how you do it. I think my resolution for this year will be to follow your example.
