Outside My Window...
Clear skies and cool breezes.

I am thinking...

I am thankful for...
a thick doona (quilt) and flanelette jim-jams at night now the nights are getting cold.

From the learning rooms...
Ginger successfully stacked a ring on her stacking toy by herself. I am learning all about English cookery of the 40s and 50s.

From the kitchen...
Trying a Japanese pork dish for dinner and I am cooking a plum sago pudding for dessert. I made an apple crumble friday night for dinner to use up some soft apples, DH made custard to go with it. But, we have much more custard than we had crumble, so now I am making a plum pudding to use it up with- which in turn will doubtless leave us short of custard. Ah, its a vicious cycle!

to hang out 3 loads of washing after this and mop the floors. I hit the ground running this morning and got lots done.

I am hearing
the kettle bubbling and the wind blowing in the trees.On my mind...where has the last year gone! And, where do my days go:), I am thinking of keeping a time diary for a few days to find out - I have a feeling blogging might account for a lot of it.
Around the house...
floors to mop, toys to pick up, some sewing to finish off and kitchen to clean.

One of my favorite things...
Gooey, sticky, unctious almond meringues made by DH this weekend - good thing he took most of them to work with him.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
Make bread to go in the new bread tin DH bought me at the markets yesterday (its so good to have married a man that knows me), keep an eye on my pudding for the next 3 hours, clean the outside of the windows and weed, weed, weed:) And, later in the week we have Toowoomba show day (yay! - I am not in hospital this year so we can go) and Ginger's birthday party.

Small window into my life...
I love your day. You have gotten a lot done and still have time for blogging. I find it hard sometimes. Your homemade bread makes me hungry. Take care and hope your next day will go as planned also. B
