HAPPY MAY!!! Here's a bit of a round-up
- It is autumn but, rats, it is not nearly as cold as it should be!! A few years back I bought a ski-type jacket at Aldi (in Australia, with my sister, we don't have Aldi here in NZ) and finally it is cold enough at times to wear the jacket.
- I'm back into the knitting, and am back doing scarves. My mother used to knit us kids jerseys and cardigans and I can't imagine how long it must have taken, but its very pleasing to whip out the needles and knock off a few rows now and then. Clearly I am in no hurry to finish.
- I've been getting organised with all sorts of things including diaries/planners. I got some cheap notebooks at Spotlight late last year and made them into planners. I found a weekly planner pad dirt cheap at a second hand shop (.50c) which had a year's worth of planning pages in it and is probably better cos I can stick it up on the wall and actually see it and remember what I'm meant to be doing.
- On the planning note, I love watching Rebecca Hoot video's this days, especially planning ones. She's got all the whimsy and sparkle in what she does. Lovely.
- On the non fiction reading front, I read Mark Manson's, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F#ck. Its been around for a decade and I finally got around to reading it. It is thought provoking, especially about the 'happiness' industry. I kind of liked it!! On the fiction front, I bought Rachael Johns The Other Bridget, and enjoyed that, too.
- Until next time, Joanne/Maddie.
