YAY for school holidays! Here's a list of randomness...
Making: UK connections, including this family
Cooking: nothing noteworthy. Cooking is SUCH a chore, even in the school holidays
Reading: I just finished A Monk Swimming by Malachy McCourt
Wanting: freezer bags, snap-lock bags and cling wrap all to be outlawed everywhere. France is banning plastic cutlery/dinnerware by 2020 - THAT IS GREAT!
Looking: at maps of Europe
Playing: the Suzuki flute repertoire over and over...or the 'Matilda brainwashing soundtrack'. Only fellow Suzuki music parents will understand!
Recommending: you should read this article about Ben and I. OK, it's actually about Tim and Kerry, but I think there might be some similarities
Wishing: all the plastic in the sea could be removed with one quick flick of a magic wand
Enjoying: keeping lists, of which we have several running on the fridge right now, my favourite is 'Things we need to pack'
Wondering: why parents ignore movie and TV classifications/ratings? I know of so many young kids who view content intended for mature audiences. It makes me so sad - there's time enough for that stuff when they are older! What's the rush?
Loving: the minimalist philosophy. If you are interested, check out this documentary
Matilda has watched it twice - it must have struck a chord
Matilda has watched it twice - it must have struck a chord
Considering: whether or not I should sell some/most/all of my highly prized blue and white china!!!!!???
Buying: Turkish towels for next year, they dry quickly
Watching: The Little Prince - what a delight! Have you watched it?
Hoping: we can make our budget stretch a looong way next year, it's difficult to know what life on the road will cost, especially in a foreign country
Laughing: at kids who swim amongst icebergs and then come inside and turn the heater on to warm up!!
Marvelling: at this place, it's on my 'must visit' list
Cringing: every time I hear the phrase Conscious Capitalism. Come on, those words cannot even be in the same room!!
Needing: to scan our passports and other travel documents so we have a digital copy (safety first)
Smelling: orange tree blossoms - divine! And roast lamb cooking
Knowing: Harry and Till are going to thrive next year
Thinking: about how much they'll learn, and how much I'll learn too
Admiring: Rosie Batty, who recently visited our island!
Sorting: every single thing we own into two piles: stuff to keep, stuff to sell (the latter pile is the biggest by far)
Getting: nervous and excited, can you guess why?
Opening: the oven door, emails and online course forums
Feeling: warmer (hooray, it's SPRING)
Snacking: on bananas, nuts and grapefruit
Hearing: kids in the pool, wind chimes in our garden and rain showers on the roof (we have had SO much rain!!!!!!!!!!!)
I'm off to fill another box for the op shop!!
