Book of days...
Digging this one out again as it's a good set of prompts and the last time I did it was AGES ago!!
Book of Days
Outside my window: It's dark now, but we've actually seen some sunshine today which was very welcome after 4 very dull, dark days. I had to get my sunglasses out driving back from my glass class today!
My thoughts... I'm a bit bored at the moment to be honest. Mostly because what I want to do involves being outside in the garden and it's too cold/rainy at the moment.
Today's Quote... "Brexit means Brexit" *sigh*
I am thankful for... My comfortable, warm house and central heating.
What I learned this week... Well it's only Tuesday, but I did learn a new technique using glue activated by an ultraviolet light today in my stained glass class.
From the kitchen last week... Last week I made bread, some vegetarian lasagna and a pasta dish. I have just bought a new cookbook actually (this one) as I'm getting in a bit of a rut regarding food and wanted some inspiration. There are some lovely dishes in it.
I am creating (crafts, sewing etc)... I'm going to get my dolls house furniture out tomorrow as I managed to source a site which sells the furniture but it's not 'finished' so it's just bare wood. This means it's cheaper and gives me the chance to wax or paint it. I've got a few pieces now and I need to decide what I'm going to do with them.
My adventures this week... (where are you going this week?).. I was visiting a friend tomorrow as she's moved house, but she's got builders in, so that's got moved. I don't have much on this week - Thursday evening belly dance class and I might try the pilates class my teacher does on Friday morning. I'm not a huge fan of Pilates but I need to tone up - we have another request to dance at another show at the end of February....
Becoming well read (What are you reading this week?)... Currently reading about different purfume eras.
I manifest and co-create (what are your hopes and dreams this week).... I'm hoping for more cheerful news in the news broadcasts - it's all doom and gloom at the moment. Also more sunshine and warmer weather (unlikely).
Melody (what music are you listening to? even if it's just the sound of a bird).. I can hear Tiger in the kitchen miaowing at Mr Cee for food.
One of my favourite things... I bought some hyacinth bulbs and they are blooming now which is filling the house with a very subtle but pleasant scent of flowers. The flowers are so heavy I've had to tie them to a chopstick to keep them upright.
Goals reached last week... I didn't have any goals but I did have a list of things I wanted to do and I managed to complete the list!
Things that made my week this week... Sending the cats galloping down the hallway using the laser pointer. They seem to enjoy chasing it.
Still life (share a picture you've taken OR a picture you found online that speaks to you)...
Hopefully soon - an online picture of Spring!
In other news - I know it's not very popular but I've rewatched all three of the latest Sherlock series and I rather enjoyed it. The last one included nods to the stories again and I do think that's clever. There were a few small things that annoyed me, and I think the best episode was the second one, but as a possible series end it was OK. I have a feeling we may not have any more Sherlock as BC and MF are so busy now, but it's been a good update/adaptation of the characters and overall I've enjoyed all the episodes we've had over the past 7 years even if some of them had to be watched more than once to unravel them.
