> yeah I did it in chalk pastels and charcoal on really crappy newsprint paper.i think it is amazing :-)
> I like it 'cause it feels "quiet"
yeah.
> -you know like when it is so quiet out in the winter that you can hear the crunch of snow under your feet
no. i mean... i can imagine... but i've only been to snow once in my life. pathetic really... only a couple hours to skifields / snow... but i never went.
i can imagine though... but i'm sure it isn't the same.
i can remember the crunch of frozen grass... ;-)
> It's really springy here actually. Seems all the trees have gotten their leaves, and everything is green again. Lots of rain lately, but LOTS of green.:-)
> I love autumn...I like that crisp coldness.
yeah. back home autum was really damp and rainy and cold and miserable... here it is nicer. the air is crisp. people wear gloves and hats and long coats. brr. but crisp and fresh. we don't get the colours you get in some parts of the world (native trees don't lose their leaves but the imported varieties still do). so we still have some green in autumn and winter. but not as much as i'm used to... and olive greens and browns more than vibrant green. but i went to the botanic gardens the other day. and there is some sydney tropical rainforest which is like home kind of.

> I'll go outside today though to let the sun hit me. My landlord has planted fruit trees, and lots of flowers.
> Enjoy some nice warm sweaters.
> talk to you soon :-),thanks. mmm fruit trees. what kind of fruit?
