Reading - All Good Things by Sarah Turnbull. A memoir of the author's life when she moved to Tahiti. It's pretty cool.
Tidying - my patio and yard. A huge job, but one that is very satifying.
Loving - those moments when you stop and just breathe. Like when I saw this beautiful Moreton Bay Fig at the markets today. What a glorious elder of its kind.
Watching - a mish-mask of television including The Walking Dead, NCIS and Sleepy Hollow. I like to pretend that Ichabod from Sleepy Hollow is James Norrington from The Pirates of the Caribbean's long-lost brother. (Don't blame me, it was on tumblr).
Dreaming - of landscaping my pool area with terracotta pots and minimalist spiky plants.
Thinking - a lot about Christmas. I wrote a guide to a Happy Homemade Christmas last year, would like to do something similar this year, but I'm not going to be doing much homemade stuff! So I might just curate some great other blogs that are doing it.
Baking - my own pizza dough! For the first time, I was insanely pleased with it. I also made a banana loaf today, finally used up all those over-ripe bananas in my freezer.
Hanging - out at the farm. Went and saw mum and dad last weekend, did some deep-breathing and chilling out. Going up to the farm recharges my batteries. I took some photos, which I have the intention of blogging but are still on my camera...
Looking forward to - work winding down after we complete end-of-month accounts this week. More scrapbooking in two weeks. And then some time off!
How's your week been?
Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm 33 and searching for my passion.
Until then, I slog away in a cubicle working full-time and focus on enjoying my downtime with things like TV (my old friend), movies, twitter, (trying to) cook, reading and hanging out with my hubby. My head is turned by things like vintage homewares, stationery, chocolate and scrapbooking. I blog about whatever takes my fancy.
Reading: Englby by Sebastian Faulks for book club.
ReplyDeleteTidying: same - my patio
Watching: Sons of Anarchy, Orange is the new Black and Masters of Sex
Wishing I had a country get away to go to to chill at.............great post Sarah..
Thanks :) I have heard Orange is the New Black is great! I missed the start of it on Foxtel, must download or wait for rerun!
DeleteI do know we are extremely lucky to have somewhere rural to escape to... and to think, when I was younger, all I wanted to do was move to the city O_o
