Day 6: Onyx 1

I wonder what a Freudian analyst would make of my earring collection? (Let alone me writing about it!). It's dawning on me that there are some themes emerging - colours, shapes, and materials - that I've never noticed before. Plus they almost always have hooks, rather than studs - but this at least has been a conscious decision - having had a preference for earrings that swing and twinkle.

My earrings today are one of a number pairs of onyx earrings I own. They are one of my birthday gifts from Rob, from about 14 years ago. The onyx is teardrop shaped set in gold with a hook. The smoothness of the onyx makes them lovely to touch. I don't wear much yellow gold, but I do wear these often. I love their simplicity, and how they move.

Day 6 has been another good one and I'm grateful for it. I'm not feeling ill, just tired. I was very happy to see my sister Linda and share time with her and Ree before Ree left. I also enjoyed catching up with family friend Kim Burton who with Linda are ready to rock the night away at the Bowie tribute concert at the Opera House, lucky ducks! Rob and the boys safe arrival home from their Armidale adventure, a hug from neighbour Katie and a quick visit from dear friends Lindsey and Arleen made the day complete. Here's hoping for more days like these.
