Taking Stock OR What I'm Doing Right Now


Making : Quilt tops from the 'scraps' I was gifted on my trip to Christchurch
Bookmarking: Vintage sheet quilts
Cooking : Mini quiche, Peach and yoghurt cake, Plum jam, Plum sauce
Smelling: home baking
Drinking : copious amounts of cups of tea


Looking: at the weights in front of me 
Deciding: today is the day I WILL do a full plank (off my knees)

Watching: his tongue poking out in concentration
Feeling: complete and utter love for my boy
Wondering: how two parents conceived two children, brought them up exactly the same way, but yet they have two very distinct personalities 


Buying: books for my 'Woman, Desire and Narrative' paper 
Reading: a lot
Needing: more time to read 


Waiting: for the bride to arrive
Getting: a little bit wet, but not caring.  It's a happy day 
Thinking: Aunty J looks like a princess
Opening: Champagne to toast the bride and groom 
Wishing: them a very happy future together

Wearing: smiles
Marvelling: at Victoria Cottage gorgeous grounds and historic surrounding area
Hoping: to be back really soon, after all family own the B&B .. .. ..


Playing: early in the morning in this amazing holiday park
Following: my two little ones around as they swing slide and jump off the flying fox


Giggling: at how stero typical touristy we are 


Noticing: How tall my nieces and nephews have become
Admiring: the love (and similarities) between two cousins
Wanting: happy childhood memories 
Liking: listening to the laughter as they all play 


Loving: My Uncle and my Philosopher 
Pondering: family relationships 
Knowing: this is a very special bond between two men I love 


Enjoying: a wonderful family filled weekend
Considering: this plaque at my Sister In Laws front door

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