Right Now

To be honest I have sat down to start writing a blog post several times in the last few weeks but have ultimately come up blank.

Funnily enough I 'write' in my head almost constantly.  My heads swims with thoughts, ideas and (yes it's true) conversations.  I often replay conversations to myself in my head.  I was kind of mortified recently when I noticed Steven watching me, bemused, turns out I move my lips when I'm having these 'conversations'...worse still when I caught myself doing it on the train.

Apparently this silent talking to myself routine is something I do quite regularly.  Oh dear.

Anyway, I digress.  With so many things swirling around I think I have felt somewhat overwhelmed by the volumes I have ready to spew forth with that all the ideas clamour to get out and get stuck, piled on top of one another.

So, having turned on the computer tonight only to find that sudden blockage upon me I figured there is no better place to resume my blog than right now.  Everything that has happened in the past 2 months can wait.

Me, Right Now

I have that feeling of contentment in my belly when I walk the kids to school or up to the shop.  I am at home in my new neighbourhood. 

I am looking forward to wearing my new ankle boots from Country Road...but I fear they are going to have to wait for the perfect weather and outfit.

I need another pair of shoes like a hole in the head but it would seem that I am lacking in the plain, black, enclosed toe, high heel department.  Better rectify that ASAP.

I am exercising regularly and I am mixing things up between running, swimming, gym and personal training sessions.  Exercise is feeling more natural and less of a chore than ever I think.  I'm starting to feel strong because of it.

I still have boxes to unpack and the pictures and paintings still need to be hung in the right spot.  This house was a blank canvas for us, it will take a while before we have things exactly how we want them.

There is one load of washing to hang out and none to fold (if you don't count all the beach towels I took off the clothes horse this morning).  Hooray.

I am loving the abundance of summer stone fruit, apples and tomatoes.  Thinking I might make a second market visit on Thursday for fruit to stew and more tomatoes for pasta sauce.

I have been pretty boring in the kitchen but I am starting to find some new inspiration.

I am enjoying my new job.  The big kids are settling well into school and J loves daycare.  I think/hope that working 3 days will make for a good balance.

Sebastian has a wobbly tooth.  That's not exactly about me but I think him loosing his first tooth will make me a bit teary.  His first day at school dodn't make me teary.

I have developed a love of silk.  I have been seeking out silk tops for work.  Love.

My alarm is set for 6.20am.  I don't love that.  Cross your fingers for me that my inagural OSHC/Daycare before I have to catch the train sees me making it to the train station on time.

There has been some paper and glue but no sewing machine.  My studio still hasn't been organised sufficiently for me to set up any sewing machine.  I'll get there.  This weekend maybe?

So that's me right now.  Some random facts.  Go ahead and tell me a random fact about you right now.

Happy very late on Tuesday night!
