A November List...
making : this Rosemary Wreath for our front door.
cooking : boiled orange and poppyseed cake (so. good.)
drinking : rooibos tea and soda water {not together, obvs}
reading : the most heart-rending, thought-provoking and frightening book I've read in a long time - Kinglake 350 by Adrian Hyland. I am immeasurably grateful that I was not anywhere near Melbourne on that day. If you live in a bushfire-prone area, you need to read this book.
wanting : several more hours in each day, so that I can spend it reading. I'm really loving hanging out between the pages at the moment. {I'm sensing a theme emerging here..}
looking: at my zucchini plants resiliently flowering despite a devastating snail invasion - more on that in Mondays post...
playing : tunes through Spotify - I can't believe this has been going on without me for so long.
sowing : seeds ofWild Rocket {my fav} and Flat Leaf Parsley.
wishing : for rain, pretty please.
enjoying : temperatures in the mid-20s - if only Summer didn't get any hotter than this...
waiting : impatiently to pull our garlic crop out of the ground.
liking : this YouTube video, a mashup of some of the modern wisdom of Russell Brand - the guy is either totally off his head or a revolutionary. Time will tell.
wondering : where I'll be blogging from in 6 months time.
loving : feeling like part of a blogging community - thank you for your comments and 'follows', you have made my year.
hoping : to get something in writing, soon.
needing : to make some decisions about the future... "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood...".
smelling : the hundreds of Jasmine flowers on the vine in the courtyard. Divine.
wearing : lots of blue this month.
following : a crazy number of new blogs thanks to the group of talented bloggers I've been doing Blog With Pip with. Her next course is starting in February - it's been so much fun, so informative and I have enjoyed being immersed in the enthusiasm of the group for all things bloggy {also, Pip is an absolute sweetheart, and so available for help during the course - it is worth the course fee for that alone!}
noticing : how long the days are now - and realising it's less than a month until Summer Solstice.
knowing : that this digital magazine curated by Brooke from Slow Your Home will be well worth the purchase - check it out!
thinking : constantly. Maybe that's why I am enjoying escaping into books at the moment!
bookmarking : Danielle LaPortes website - a whole new site going live on Dec 3rd. It will be simple and profound, I'm sure.
opening : so many parcels of online shopping for family pressies - I so rarely bother going to shops anymore.
giggling : at those collections of AutoCorrect Fails that seem to float around on Facebook from time to time. Can you relate?
feeling : excited - 3 weeks til Christmas!
I hope your November was restful enough to prepare you for the onslaught of December - remember to enjoy it, ok?
