Taking Stock OR What I'm Doing Right Now


Admiring: two girls playing in the pool, splashing 
Giggling: at the squeals of laughter, it's contagious
Wishing: I could jump in with them
Feeling: Hot


Wearing: Polka dots and red 
Making : a Giant Star quilt
Following: Sandra - Cherry Heart, my new blog and IG find - LOVE


Buying: Prawns!
Smelling: Prawns!
Loving: my lunch date with bloggy friends and Prawns!


Watching: my children play ever so happily outside "It's what kids do" I keep reminding them
Wondering: If this sibling love will last ~forever~ I do hope so 
Deciding: This tree hut has many more years of play ahead of it 


Looking: at my little girl shimmy up the bus stop pole .
Hoping: She doesn't fall (Mr B tells me to stop being a Mother!)


Wanting: a 'Lucky Book' book order from school, and being told they had to 'earn' the money
Marvelling: at their dedication .. .. .. running outside to mow the lawns
Feeling: proud (whilst laughing)


Enjoying: the gym
Knowing: it is good for me 
Noticing: how it has become a priority and everything slots around it 


Waiting: for the Pears and Tomatoes to ripen and the bantem to start laying 
Thinking: How blessed we are to have such a productive back yard 


Cooking : Copious amounts of Plum Jam (hello 30 jars full)
Considering: Plum Sauce for the next lot
Drinking : lots and lots of sparkling water in this heat of summer


Opening: up a bottle of malt vinegar so we can make volcanoes 
Playing: Trucks and Volcanoes 
Liking: the coolness of the evening and one on one time with my boy


Reading: My required 'reading' list for Uni
Needing: A lot of books
Getting: myself organised 
Bookmarking: The Women's Bookshop

Pondering: my week ahead 

If you want a list you can get it from Pip at Meet Me At Mike's too!

Have you heard of Abe Books? They sell second hand books from all around the world for (usually) low prices.

The Women's Bookshop is the best! I had 23 separate packages arrive from The Book Depository at school today - it was quite funy - the postie left me the NZ post grey box to keep. :) Kids are amazed at books arriving from England. The swimming pool looks tempting!
Good luck with uni! My exam is in 2 more sleeps..... nervous!
