Taking Stock: March 2021

Hello pals,

Perhaps it’s time to catch our breath and take stock of where we are at right this minute? I think so. Here I go ..!

Taking Stock

Making: the most of the sunny Autumn days … such a perfect time of year!
Cooking: cheesy toast PLUS the delicious tomato jam from Stephanie’s Seasons (with my mum!) and lots of other things for my fam.
Getting: Ready for my new book to come out!
Sipping: white wine/Bitter Lemon spritzes
Reading: Cider With Rosie
Waiting: for this book to come in the post
Looking: at the hazy view out my window (the fireys are burning off in a neighbouring town).
Listening: To Nick Cave and Marlon Williams and Aldous Harding.
Wishing: I remembered to drink more water.
Enjoying: living in the greenery under a big sky surrounded by hills and mountains.
Appreciating: how lucky I am to be far from the serious COVID-hit areas.
Eating: Spicy Shin Ramen Cup noodles (sooooo good!)
Liking: shopping at the local tip shops. They are so good here in Tassie!
Loving: establishing new routines.

 

Buying: props for my pretend-dream cookbook from aforementioned tip shops.
Managing: to get some things done after a week of not being well.
Watching: uni lecture videos! This time I’m doing Experimental Writing and Intro to Professional Writing and Publishing. I am loving both, but especially Experimental Writing. I’m working towards my BA (Creative Writing) in case you missed that.
Hoping: To fix the side gate so the dogs don’t keep rushing out, down the driveway, along the street and into the neighbour’s yard.

Wearing: A dress I found at the Salvation Army yesterday.
Following: Little Oak Farm for their old and new adventures.
Noticing: my eyes are sore all the time now. Is it the smoke? Possibly.
Sorting: out what will go where and what furniture we need (still!)
Getting: fit climbing the hill to the clothesline and veggie garden.
Bookmarking: Taproot magazine
Coveting: A new dress from Obus.
Feeling: glad my headache went away. It’s always good when that happens.
Hearing: the washing machine beeping that it’s finished and could I please haul the wet load out and onto the line?

Love to you, dear reader. So glad you bothered to stop by. Truly.

xx
