MAKING sourdough pizza later. Can’t wait! Love pizza
COOKING lasagne last night, it went down extremely well. I don’t buy dried lasagne (or other pasta, apart from orzo) anymore. Fresh is so much better for an occasional treat
SIPPING cider, the rugby’s on
READING an excellent proof! If it continues to be as good I’ll be telling you all about the novel around the date of publication. *Do you like the books posts? Or prefer little mentions, rather than a dedicated post?
WAITING for my tulips to appear
LOOKING at their lush green shoots
WATCHING The Great Escaper with Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson. Glenda’s last film before she died. Michael’s last because he says he’s now retired. We saw it last night. It’s multi layered
LISTENING to the sounds of rugby on ITV
WISHING for world peace. It feels trite to write it now, and realistically will never happen
VISITING Tate Britain: Women in Revolt, so interesting that I’m still thinking about it and The Wellcome Collection: Being Human and The Cult of Beauty exhibitions this year, so far
ENJOYING talking to a 101 year old man and his 92 year old wife earlier. Amazing! Something incredible about talking to someone that old…
APPRECIATING sunny blue sky days
EATING a really good green lentil, chicken & vegetable soup this week, using leftover chicken from Sunday lunch
LIKING lighter afternoons and the fact spring is coming
LOVING having a good result for this year’s Big Garden Birdwatch, unlike a friend who only saw 1 bluetit during the hour
BUYING another bargain yellow sticker (reduced) chicken, it’s in the freezer for another Sunday lunch. Yay! I’ve done really well for bargains lately, I found pork shoulder and a guinea fowl late last year too
APPRECIATING the opportunity to see The RSC’s (Royal Shakespeare Company) production of Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet, at The Garrick theatre, London, another very good thing I’m still thinking about
MANAGING receipts, ticking off items
WATCHING The Tourist. Into the second series now. It’s quite farcical this time around, lots of humour
HOPING for more QI on catch up, not sure why it wasn’t on this week. ‘Ultras’ episode is next, on 6th February (BBC.) Would I Lie to You was very funny with Craig Charles et al
WEARING owl socks, black leggings, Seasalt top, newly cut (bit shorter than expected) hair scraped up into my version of a bun thingy
NOTICING the library reservation charge is now £1.30. It was £1.20 FIVE MINUTES ago. A friend in Yorkshire pays nothing, though wonders why as she says the district council is bankrupt
FOLLOWING my cousin’s photography journey. Incredible talent
WATCHING Ghostbusters: Afterlife, again, before the new film in the spring
COVETING nothing hugely, except I feel I should be buying an air fryer. It’s weird, but there’s so much buzz and seemingly constant ads for them. Have you got one? What do you reckon?
FEELING a slight cider buzz, thanks Henry Weston
HEARING Cheering crowds, shouting commentator, “YESSSSSSS!” across the room
LOOKING at daffodils in a jug on the side table to my right
I hope your week has been a good one? What have you been up to lately?
*Don’t forget to tell me the answer to my question, please
I’m planning to be back again on Wednesday with an update about what I’m currently making and reading. Take care of yourself, enjoy the weekend
The Little Room of Rachell 
The sky photos! Delightful! (and I love sourdough pizza!) But your snowdrops are just gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Kat. Glad you enjoyed the pics.
Amazing photos and I do love your catch ups. I’ve been out spotting snowdrops and crocus for Imbolc. Love pizza haven’t tried sourdough. Been nowhere but hopefully Harrogate next week. Had air fryer for a week, donated by son in law who upgraded. Wasn’t for me as part of cooking is the warmth on my joints and the distraction from pain whilst doing it.
Thank you, that’s kind.
I keep reading mentions of Imbolc – this is at least my second just today, maybe third.
Sorry you’re in pain. That must be hard to live with and wear you down.
Love the snowdrops. I too have been reading the Cormoran Strike books (or have you just seen the TV adaptations). I even bought the last one as I knew it would be ages before I could get it from the library and I wanted to know what happened next. Got the book at a good reduced price too.
I read the first books before the TV series began and have continued to read them as they come out. Waiting for the latest to come down in price on Kindle at the moment. They’re absolute bricks and I always need to check who’s who, so get the e-books.
Well done! Always love a bargain.
I prefer paper books and hard backs now my eyes aren’t so good. I also like having a copy of at least one book from my favourite series, so although it is a bit big I reckon it is a good book to re-read.
I like your book posts 🙂
Thank you
I LOVE your snowdrops and your London photos! Just lovely. Make me want to go to London…🙃
Your book posts are always a delight.
I’m finishing packing things for a 4-day skiing trip. Only… it’s currently raining in the mountains! I’ve packed a couple of books and DVDs just in case.
Thank you!
Uh-oh! Oh dear, still it’s good to get away and even if you can’t ski a change is as good as a rest as they say. Enjoy your trip.
Hi. I love hearing about all your delicious food! Fresh pasta is just wonderful and I don’t buy it often enough. What a gorgeous sunset! The colors are just amazing. I do enjoy a good sunset. And yes, I can’t wait for the first tulip to appear. Spring is near that’s for sure!
Thank you!
The sunsets and sunrises have been beautiful lately.
Spring approaching is a good feeling, isn’t it?
Hi again. You mentioned wearing a Seasalt top. I’m wasn’t familiar with that brand so I hoped over to their site and I love several of their cute tops. I’m curious if their sizing is true to size before I attempt to place an order. Thank you!
My wardrobe is mostly Seasalt, really like the colours and lots of the designs. I think would say they are true, but have only tested my size…if that makes sense!
