I've bought this and that online before, but never food. But as I'm still feeling unwell and not able to drive, I did my grocery shopping from my bed today. My goodies get delivered tomorrow. So quick and easy! 

~ A year ago today I was in the garden ~ 

Covers Off

Chores after work: I stripped the sofa and put all the covers in the machine.

~ A year ago today I was smelling jasmine ~ 

New Board

I replaced my ironing board a few days ago. Took the new one for a test drive this afternoon: it does the job.

~ A year ago today I was singing along to The Roots ~ 

Lavender & Lemon

Today's grocery shop included a couple of cleaning products.

~ A year ago today I got a new phone ~

Cotton

I got my little sewing kit out this afternoon. Bit of mending to do.

~ A year ago today I was snuggled under a rug ~ 

Cat Burglar

Every day this week I've come home to clothes pulled out of my cupboard. That damn black cat pries the cupboard open (it doesn't close properly) and makes a nest on one of the shelves.

~ A year ago today the skies were stormy ~ 

Sun Stripes

There were only a few brief breaks in the rain today, but they were very welcome.

~ A year ago today I was wearing jeans ~ 

Ignition

For a while now my car has had an intermittent problem not starting properly. Finally got it fixed today! 

~ A year ago today I was reading fan fiction ~ 

Pellets

The three boy cats are eating me out of house and home! 

~ A year ago today there was a break in the weather ~ 

Seals

I did a clean and tidy of the tupperware cupboard today.

~ A year ago today I'd lost a favourite CD ~ 

Airing the Bedding

Today - finally - I put away my light summer duvet and put my down winter duvet on my bed. 

~ A year ago today I was watching Louie ~ 

Clutter

I'm nearly at the end of my weeks-long spring cleaning marathon. Today I started tidying my chest of drawers. I threw away almost all of these accumulated bits and pieces. 

~ A year ago today I was feeling sad and eating cookies ~ 

Cobra

My spring cleaning project continues. Polishing furniture, washing ornaments, wiping out cupboards, sorting shelves etc. It's very tedious but I'm trying to do a little every day. I think it's going to take another two weeks to finish. 

~ A year ago today my little kittie was waiting for my attention ~ 

Autumn Cleaning

Today I started some long-overdue cleaning and tidying at home. I started with my kitchen drawers and went on to my grocery cupboards. This project will keep me busy for a while.

~ A year ago today the morning sky was beautiful ~ 

Close to Empty

I've done a lot of driving in the last week or so. Must remember to fill up tomorrow.
~ A year ago today I was attending a tea party ~ 

101 Slips

I sorted out my purse today. It is now tidy and no longer bursting at the seams with receipts.
~ A year ago today I was watching music videos online ~ 

Sponge

I came home to a lovely sparkly clean house today, thanks to my efficient cleaning lady. I don't miss doing housework at all. 
~ A year ago today I was using my cute polka dot shopping bag ~ 

Lamp

My kitchen light takes three of these spots. They need replacing far too often. Of course it doesn't help if I drop them before I have installed them. I did this on the weekend: tiny fragments of glass and silver all over my kitchen - gah!
~ A year ago today I went to the beach ~ 

Bars

I did some spring cleaning this morning - moved the sofa to get at the side window behind it. Dusted the blinds, cleaned the burglar bars, swept the dead goggas from the window sill, that sort of thing...
~ A year ago today I saw South Africa's new bank notes for the fist time ~ 

The Rumble Truck

Every day, twice a day, the garbage truck comes past and empties bins and collects recycling from our building. It idles, right outside my window, for about ten minutes. Not my favourite thing in the world.
~ A year ago today I was walking in Silvermine ~
