But here are a few things I have been up to lately, to fill the gap :
-lots of digging and weeding
-planting seeds indoors and out
-reading 50s/60s books about putting a wardrobe together
-sorting out a capsule - ish wardrobe (work in progress)
-drinking green smoothies
-making A Skirt (the first item of clothing I have made in years!)
-trying to keep my carpets clean
-celebrating will's 30th birthday. We went to the National botanical Gardens and had a picnic
-not eating gluten; I reluctantly cut out gluten from my diet (again, I was gluten free for much of my early twenties) because I have been in such rubbish health, really since having babies, but especially the last 6 months or so.. The difference I have felt has been amazing. I don't really like having the restriction, especially on top of being a vegan, it makes me generally inconvenient to whoever I'm with, but every time I think about eating something that doesn't agree with me I remind myself of how poorly I've felt and I just can't do it.
Anyway, on that note here are some pictures of us enjoying the event lovely weather. It's raining again now, back to normal!
I often have that "oh, who cares" feeling but then I think about it like relationships in real life - the friends I see once a year get to hear about the big stuff, hopes dreams and plans for he next year. The people I speak to all the time get to hear the tiny things that I do every day that make up the big things and bring about the hopes and dreams. Blogging, for me, are the latter, I talk about the small things and not only does it help me do what I say I want to, it's great to look back and remember the small achievements, recipes etc (I don't journal or keep a note of things anywhere else) plus people leave comments an give men so much more motivation and provide great ideas that I wouldn't come up with on my own.
ReplyDeleteI also love "real life" blogs where people don't jet off on holiday and spend a ton of money on all manner of things, but just cultivate a nice live and living environment, I get so much from reading that type of thing.
Of course if you just don't want to write then that's also good!
