Inspired by Rachel, inspired by Pip…
Making : two patchwork cushions for an order for Lindi
Cooking : there’s a photocopied recipe for Julie Sahni’s green bean curry on the kitchen counter, but so far no actual shopping has been done with the making of it in mind
Drinking : coffee. without sweetener because I forgot to put any in and I can’t be bothered to leave my desk now and go back to the kitchen
Reading: The Steep Approach to Garbadale by Iain Banks
Wanting: my unsorted boxes from the house move last year to disappear into thin air
Looking: through the French doors at the sparrows outside on the patio
Wishing: that my unsorted boxes from the house move last year would disappear into thin air
Enjoying: the spring days and the cool nights
Waiting: for Thursday, when Karen and I get on the train for the long trip to Johannesburg and switch off from our normal lives completely
Liking: my slowly improving sense of well-being
Wondering: how long the Guptas will be allowed to run our country, and where all the good guys are
Loving: my garden and how much everything has grown in the last 16 months
Pondering: quantum physics. I read In Search of Schrodinger’s Cat by John Gibson, really slowly, and still can’t understand any of it
Listening: Jim Croce (in the car only)
Considering: whether or not I deserve/can afford to splurge on new cosmetics from Mac
Watching: The Daily Show with Trevor Noah (on youtube, in bed, on my phone, late at night)
Hoping: for a lucrative 2017/2018 market season – my bank manager is also hoping for that, on my behalf
Marvelling: at how fat both my cats have become, despite being given the correct amount of Dr Hill’s Science Food at meals
Needing: already have everything I really need
Smelling: being a smoker, not that much!
Wearing: old jeans and an old hoodie of Rob’s with black and white skulls on it
Knowing: that first I have to be content with myself before I can find happiness in a relationship with anyone else
Bookmarking: hair tutorials on putting my hair up
Feeling: optimistic
Dreaming: of independence
Hearing: yes, it’s occurred to me that I should go for a hearing test but, in general, selective hearing makes for a more harmonious home life. A lesson I learned from my ex-husband :)
Anyone else out there taking stock today?
