Trying to come back down to earth [status]

[rebeccmeister]

Sometimes it's hard to come back from a vacation high. It has been good to snuggle the cats, sleep in a soft bed, take a shower, and be reunited with my remaining pairs of bike shorts.

But boy, this one twee houseboat just speaks of a very different sort of life:







It was definitely a relief to have a break from the news. A good reminder that there are drawbacks to being glued to it all.

On the other hand, the horseshoe crab's tank needed attention, the clownfish were hungry, the ants needed watering and a temperature boost (I'd turned the heater down while away), and the windowsill plants were all thirsty.

And there's a lot of boathouse and rowing stuff on the horizon.

I am so much more motivated now to make sure we get out on some silly Petrichor adventures, and sooner rather than later!

I have to wonder whether there's a way to set up Petrichor with a boat tent. And a proper galley box. Hmmm....

I should probably finish varnishing first.

I agree that houseboat is adorable, although the interior is obviously set up for land rather than water use.

That is one adorable houseboat.

Is Petrichor the name of your boat?

And wow, you're back already!

That houseboat is **very** appealing. (Though it looks like there's no way to heat it, so a summer houseboat only? I guess in this part of the world a houseboat in winter would be tough.)

What a delight! A cozy, floating house. Great!
