Just lately...

Lately I have mostly just been....


:: Packing away all of the little pictures and random brikabrak which makes this house a home. Cant wait to unpack after decorating though!

:: Eating peaches baked with blackcurrant jam and covered with cream and crumbled ginger biscuits.

:: Scraping wood chip from walls over and over again.


:: Deciding on paint colours.

:: Writing an Ikea shopping list.

:: Carrying hundreds of books upstairs to live on top of the wardrobe's for the next few weeks.


:: Crafting with D and his bundles of stickers, glitter pens, glue, and paints.


:: Feeling hopeful for enlarged follicles! (hospital appt this week insha'Allah!)

:: Bidding on books, clothes, and brikabrak at a charity auction (But not managing to sit down for my usual Monday Secondhand brikabrak post)


:: Wondering if il ever have enough time to plant the rest of my veg seeds in time.

:: Waiting for the apple and cherry tree blossom in the garden to bloom.

:: Watching interesting TV (Silent Witness for the first time ever and a couple of films - A mighty heart and Rabbit-proof Fence)

What have you been doing?

  1. I like the look of the walls rough, especially in the hallway! Sounds very busy over there. I keep wanting to plant more vegetables every year, and again, it won't be happening this year. I make up for it by taking the kids to pick your own farms. Although they don't get the planting experience it is great, fresh, fun and I get to spend my energy elsewhere. Look forward to seeing progress pics. Good luck for everything this week:-)
