I love a sunburnt country

from w
It's Saturday afternoon and with eight of the household away watching Eparama play rugby, I have a quiet household to think about 'my' sunburnt country and listen to youtube Mozart (who occasionally gets it right) - with 'Rest gently' from Zaide or Ruhe Sanft mein holden Leben as it is in German. There are several versions on youtube and I think it is a perfect song for a funeral, not dark, not mournful, but liberating.

Oh, and they are back. I can hear voices and a noise from a computer in another room. There'll be about ten or eleven of us by evening to drink kava and yarn. Our household has seriously altered in the past three or four months with an expanding three-generational family here. It's nice and we are a strong family, but it does get chaotic at times.
