The Weather:
It is so mild at the moment - it's 8°C. It was very foggy this morning, now it's just soggy. Drizzle, drizzle and more drizzle.
Right now I am:
Watching football (soccer) with Hubs - Wolves vs Liverpool (Liverpool is Hubs' team)
Thinking:
About some jobs I need to do before I make tea (evening meal), about some homeschool stuff I need to sort out for the girls.
On my reading pile:
I've just finished Tom Wright's 'Simply Good News', my next two books will be Wonder by RJ Palacio and A Searching Heart by Janette Oke.
On my tv:
We've just finished Salvation on Netflix, which finished on a bit of a cliffhanger and they haven't picked up Season 3 - so I may never find out!! The girls and I have just started watching Desperate Housewives from the beginning - they loved it!
Favourite Blog post this week:
I've been blogging for some time, from around 2005, and had a blog before this one. So it's been fun revisiting old blogs. Quite a few of my favourite haunts have stopped blogging now, but two of my faves have carried on.
Sandra - who runs this Happy Homemaker Monday link-up. I loved her recent post: Makes Me Feel Like I'm in Idaho (because her posts are always so beautiful and uplifting and because I have snow envy - I so want it to snow!!)
and Rebecca over at Emerube - her posts are always so much fun - WI Bucket List #39
On the menu for this week:
Monday - Mackerel, chips (fries) and mixed vegetables (trying to eat more oily fish due to low vitamin D)
Tuesday - Tuna and salami pasta
Wednesday - Southern fried chicken
Thursday - Shopping day - not planned next week's yet (my meal plans run Thurs to Wedss)
On my to do list:
Laundry - reds wash next, I've washed all my blankets today
Homeschooling - planning work for the girls
Cleaning - bedroom, hall, stairs, bathroom and kitchen floors
Looking around the house:
Living room looks so bare since the Christmas decorations came down. But it is clean. I bottomed it yesterday. Rest of the house needs some TLC.

| Mmmm, bread! |
On my prayer list:
For my hubby's hand, arm and shoulder - he has pain and numbness in his hand and has a hospital appointment this week for it.
My mum's migraines.
For my girls - various things.
Devotional:
"With God...the first and most important point was not to understand him but to trust him. The idea that you might begin by looking this God up and down, giving him a cool appraisal, and then, if you understood him and approved of him, you might respond to him, is to deny that he is God at all. If he is God, our primary role is not to analyse him but to worship him; it is not for *us* to figure *him* out but to let *him* figure *us* out. Yes, I know: this sounds like a leap into the unknown. But the alternative is a sure route to idolatry, making a god in our own image." - Tom Wright, Simply Good News.
Prayer Starter:
Father, help me to honour your name, to love you and to love people. Protect me and my family and bless our home. Amen.

Oh my... that loaf of bread looks yummy!! I will have to check out Salvation on Netflix. Have a great week!
I love baked bread <3 And Salvation is great. The second season is better than the first.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Salvation was canceled after the 2nd season, so none of us will ever know how it turns out. Your menu sounds really interesting. Have a GREAT week.
I'm really cross about that haha, they can't just leave it and us not know what that big rock in the sky is!! :D
That bread looks wonderful. Taking the rest of Christmas down and cleaning the house is on my list for today. Hope you have a fantastic week!
It's nice to get back to 'normal' after Christmas :)
Been crazy here again, so I'm catching up...again. ;) Thanks for your shout out. :) Also, thanks for your thoughts on the devotional. God has been working on me to trust Him better and to praise Him more. It's not so easy...I'm glad He's still pursing me.
I totally agree with you, I'm so glad God still pursues me because sometimes it can get so hard.
Hello, Sarah! Thanks for visiting my blog as it led me to finding and visiting yours. What a blessing! I enjoyed reading your post. Your menus look good and I am praying over your prayer requests. Blessings for a great rest of the week and weekend! <3
Hi Rebecca, thanks for visiting my blog too! Have a lovely week
