From Woodstock

This is my new office-window view. Nothing terribly appealing about the Woodstock streets nearby but I'm so pleased I can still see the mountain.
~ A year ago today I was enjoying the open gardens in Elgin ~

Scrunch

I've been far to busy with the move this last few days to find the time for cooking any proper meals. I've been living off toast and tea, sandwiches, ready-made meals and take-aways. No, not very good for me - but the best part has been no washing up!
~ A year ago today I was shopping at Kamersvol Geskenke ~

Mess

This is a working weekend, as we all help to unpack and sort of the new offices.
~ A year ago today my cat was sitting on her platform ~

Tape

After a couple of weeks of preparation the big move is finally upon us! I worked like a demon today with all the last-minute packing of the office and warehouse.
~ A year ago today I was doing the banking ~

Feather!

Trixie says "I'm not quite sure what this thing is but I think I love it."
~ A year ago today I was using the water pistol to stop a cat fight ~

KOL

Second concert of the month! Kings of Leon put on quite the show, but sound was not good from our seats at the back of the stadium.
~ A year ago today I was watching Crowded House ~

Boxes and Boxes

Work is moving premises at the end of this week and we're all super-busy with packing.
~ A week ago today I was hanging up washing ~

Pelargonium

The latest addition to my garden: this rose-scented pink Pelargonium. So pretty!
~ A year ago today I was making icing ~

Broccolini

I haven't been eating very well for the last few days, so today I took all the must-use-up-now veggies in my fridge and made a big delicious, nutritious curry.
~ A year ago today I was buying concert tickets ~

Rose

I did open gardens today. In the rain!
~ A year ago today I was weeding my garden ~

Polka

I did a little retail therapy after work today... bought some old-fashioned cotton sleepwear.
~ A year ago today I got a new cat bowl ~

Pantry Supper

I was too lazy/tired/sore back-y to swing past the shops today so I had to make my dinner from what I could find in my cupboards. Tuna-pepper-tomato-pasta.
~ A year ago I was laughing at Flight of the Conchords ~

Anti-inflamatory

For the last few days I've had a sore back. It's bad enough to take drugs and see a physio. Ow!
~ A year ago today I got a new bowl ~

Stage

The Concert Hall at the Baxter, after the SACM concert this evening. I thoroughly enjoyed all the performances, particularly the piano. I must make an effort to listen to more classical music.
~ A year ago today I was sitting in traffic ~

Sorted

I hadn't done any filing since May, so this evening I sorted out all the papers that I'd shoved into a drawer, and then filed them away properly. Feels good to have this done. Next up, tax.
~ A year ago today I was reading the new Shardlake novel ~

Picnic

Feels like I haven't seen much of my friends lately, so it was really good to get together today, and share some food and some laughs.
~ A year ago today I was eating mussels ~

Lighthouse

I was down in Mouille Point this afternoon, getting some exercise and sunshine.
~ A year ago today I was taking painkillers ~

Sit-coms

This has been an exhausting work week and several evenings - tonight included - I've collapsed on the sofa and watched silly TV shows to relax. Parks and Recreation, Entourage, Party Down. The last one is particularly funny.
~ A year ago today we were having computer problems at work ~

Building Site

Our work is relocating at the end of the month and today I went to see the new premises. Renovation is under way, but there is still a lot to be done!
~ A year ago today I was watching the morning news ~

Offbeat

My latest selection of reading matter, after this evening's book club meeting. most of them are skinny books of the 'quirky little read' variety. I don't think I can manage much more at the moment!
~ A year ago today my garden was bursting into flower ~

Greens

Spinach for my supper this evening. Love the stuff.
~ A year ago today I was listening to new music ~

Sleeve

I'm nearly finished my latest knitting project, but am about to run out of wool. Rats!
~ A year ago today I was napping ~

Tomster

I think Tom likes it when I stay home. He enjoys human company. Today there were romps and naps, and some serious chats. He's a good cat.
~ A year ago today I was at a birthday party ~

Pines

It was a very hot day today, but gloriously cool under the tall pine trees in Newlands Forest, where I went for a walk.
~ A year ago today I had hayfever ~

Berry Nice

Little treat at the end of a tiring week: mixed berry sorbet lolly. Yum!

Men Digging

There's a whole lot of this going on in my road this week. Noise and mess.
~ A year ago today I wore one of my favourite necklaces ~

Coldplay

2011 is really turning out to be the year of the concert. Tonight was Coldplay - they were fabulous!
~ A year ago I got exciting new novels to read ~

Bag

I've been on the lookout for a small handbag than I can wear across my body, messenger style. Found one!
~ A year ago today I was photographing birds ~

Thirsty

I put the sprinkler on when I got home today - poor old garden got hammered by the south-easter wind all weekend.
~ A year ago today I was driving home ~

Sunday Roast

Lazy Sundays are the best! Late lunch (thanks, D!) then games... good times.
~ A year ago today spring was in the air ~

Edinburgh Drive

I had a bit of running around to do this morning, and when I was done I whizzed home along this stretch of road. Nice to see some bright green trees on an otherwise cold, dull and blustery day.
~ A year ago I was dancing to favourite music ~
