Inspired by Rachel in her Little Room:
Making : pillow cases with butterflies on them
Cooking : absolutely nothing
Drinking : coffee
Reading: Adam’s Navel by Michael Sims
Wanting: the two women on either generational side of me to find peace in themselves
Looking: out of the window at a beautiful green garden and a very untidy patio
Playing: the occasional game of Minesweeper
Deciding: on a more streamlined business strategy, with Rob’s help
Wishing: I hadn’t picked up 4 kgs in the last few months
Enjoying: my new car
Waiting: for the pillow cases in the tumble dryer to be ready
Liking: the reappointment of Pravin Gordhan as our Finance Minister
Wondering: how the hell I’m ever going to find the discipline to lose weight, and what Rob will cook for supper tonight
Loving: my cake-fork ring
Pondering: how best to screenprint designs on duvet covers
Considering: having to cancel next week’s treat pedicure since dropping a tin of cat food on my big toe last night, which is now blue and bloody and the size of a kiwi fruit. I was so looking forward to that pedicure….
Buying: only the essentials (except for the cake fork ring)
Watching: Cuffs. and Transparent. Up to about episode 6, I think.
Hoping: that I haven’t already walked through the remains of the gecko that Jessie caught last night
Marvelling: at the stupidity of some people, and geckos
Needing: apart from my prozac, very little!
Wearing: a very old animal print kaftan, completely torn down one side
Following: News24
Noticing: how much my kitchen needs a good clean
Knowing: how short our lives are and how we need to keep things in perspective
Thinking: that I must try harder to keep things in perspective
Admiring: Miss Columbia’s poise
Sorting: huh?
Bookmarking: the fanfare stitch that Kathryn told me about
Coveting: nothing comes to mind!
Disliking: the arthritic aches and pains in my hands, and knowing I will have to deal with it sooner rather than later
Opening: a jar of peanut butter
Feeling: relatively content, all things considered
Snacking: peanut butter on crackers
Helping: I don’t think I’m much of a helper. You’d have to get opinions from other people!
Nice piece of work 
Loved reading this, Jill. Feels as if we finally had a catch-up chat after I missed the last few birthday gang lunches. xxx
January, Gail. We have to catch up for Daphne’s birthday :-) Hope you and Paul have a lovely xmas in your new home <3

What a fun post. I feel I know you much better, suddenly! Coveting: that cake fork ring!
It’s cute, hey!??? I just couldn’t resist.
I can see why!
Love this!
Ouch your poor toe! Hope it heals soon. Merry Christmas friend. Xx
I loved your post, Jill! You make me laugh and oh my gosh I can only imagine how much your toe hurts (throbbing).OOOOWWWW! By the way, I love your pillowcases s-o-o-o-o much. I probably am going to need a set of those butterfly ones. Maybe we could trade? You take care my friend and have a great rest of the week. Love and Hugs, Tamara

Sorry to hear about your toe. I knocked over the vacuum cleaner onto my big toe a few years ago and the nail has been discoloured since then but now it is almost back to normal, so even if it takes a while for yours to get better know that it can.
A few years ago…? Shew, I hope mine behaves better than that! :-)
I am older than you! Things take longer when you are my age.
Great post! We all need to contemplate our navel every once and again😘
Hope your holidays are full of peace & love❤️
I hope your’s are, too xxx
ps. i can barely see my navel from here :(
Fun post. In my humble opinion the antidote to weight gain is walking and lots of water. Did you see what i did there? Opinion. At least it was an informed opinion which is more tolerable than the usual ones on offer. Sorry about the kiwi fruit toe. 🎄🎁
I wish you lots of Christmas fun. X
That must have been a rather large can of cat food, ouch! Love the list, sorry I’m late to the party. Seems like I’m trying to do all the things, all at once.
