Just a little change from my Jesse Tree series of devotions for Advent that I've been posting...are you impressed though that - apart from being late with a couple - I've managed to keep up with it!? *pleased with self*
I came across this at a blog called The Littlest Way and thought I'd join in with her
Daybook Online Journal along with
Sandra's Happy Homemaker Monday because some of the prompts are very similar. :)
The weather outside is...Windy, damp and fairly mild for this time of the year. It's about 10°C (50°F)
On the breakfast plate this morning...Raisin loaf with cinnamon spread with butter and golden syrup...mmmmm.
As I look outside my window... I am distressed by the garden...we moved here in November and it's just been too rainy to do anything about it. It's rather overgrown and the grass is 90% moss, but I've got a summer house! Yay!
Right now I am...Writing this post...getting frustrated with my camera because my pictures keep coming out blurred even though I have the vibration adjust wobby-hand thing set.
Listening to…The ticking of the clock in the kitchen. Chatterbox humming upstairs.
Currently Reading…1000 Gifts by Ann Voskamp and Exodus in the Bible. It's my second time of reading 1000 Gifts and I'll do a review after Christmas.
In the Kitchen/On the Menu This Week/New Recipe…No fires...hopefully...which, with my cooking, is always a bonus. Probably will do pasta bake tonight for tea (NB: for the uninitiated when I say 'tea' in reference to a meal it refers to the evening meal, this is an expression used by people from the North of England who are generally of working class descent).
When I say 'tea' as in a drink I mean...well...tea.
As I Look Around the House…I see lots of things that need changing...like the awful curtains and light fittings we were blessed with when we moved into this house. We're going out later to get a curtain pole for the living room to put up some nicer curtains. But I love my new house. Here's a pic of the living room/dining room which is all one room (I'll do the rest of the house when I have time), and some pics of the countryside just up the street.

| Blogging station and Boots - she still hasn't settled in this house, very nervous. |
On Today's To Do List...Buy curtain rail.
Buy bathroom sealant (I'm convinced the shower is leaking).
Buy slats for Squidge's bed which she's managed to break.
Laundry.
Ironing.
Run the vacuum around.
Get the girls to clean out the guinea pigs.
On the TV Today...Just watched Cinderella Story with the girls.
Want to watch Expendables 3 (I'm a sucker for cheesy action-man films).
The Week Ahead…Christmas!! Never move house just before Christmas...just sayin...
Captured/Favourite Photo from the Camera… |
| Boot's toes |
Praying for…Sick family and friends, there's so much going around at the moment. We've had our fair-share too.
Pondering…The things that need doing around the house.
In Our Domestic Church…Our Jesse Tree daily (ahem read 'usually' daily) devotions.
So there we are Happy Monday!
