Pretty Pan

Yet more shopping for my kitchen! I was thinking about buying this pan anyway, but when I saw it at 60% off I snapped it up chop-chop. I think it's going to be extremely useful.

~ A year ago today I was enjoying flowers and sunshine ~

Into the Frying Pans

New cookware! I got the large frying pan as part of a set, and bought a smaller one to match.

~ A year ago today it was looking stormy ~ 

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 ~ 

Lens

This landed on my desk today, but I was too busy to have a proper look at it. Hopefully I'll be able to give it a test drive soon - if I like it, I might buy it.

~ A year ago today I was in Kalk Bay ~ 

Coiled

I use an extension cord to power my washing machine in the bathroom. I had to buy a new one this morning as my old one shorted out. The loud poof was rather scary! 

~ A year ago today I was watching a cat watch fish ~ 

Skirt and Sandals

I was misled by the lovely sunshine yesterday and dressed completely inappropriately for today's weather. Was so cold I had to have the heater on under my desk all day today!

~ A year ago today I was admiring a pincushion protea ~

Paperclip

At my work desk I am always fiddling with something. Very often it's a paperclip. I'll bend it back and forth til it breaks. Poor paperclip! 

~ A year ago today I was exploring Burgundy ~

Purple Brolly

I bought a cheap umbrella when I was overseas, and used it again today when it rained. I like the colour but there is no way it will survive a Cape winter! 

~ A year ago today I was eating white chocolate ~

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 ~ 

Recharging

Cape Town has had power outages all day. Fortunately I wasn't affected. But when I got home I plugged in my camping lantern to make sure it's fully charged and ready to go, just in case I need it later.
~ A year ago today I was watching cooking shows ~ 

Fluoro

The lime green beach bag had another outing today.
~ A year ago today I was eating chocolate ~ 

Suede

My current purse. It's a couple of years old now, and looking a bit scruffy.
~ A year ago today my cat was sick ~ 

Octopus

I bought this cat toy to try to get Thomas to move more. Yeah. Not working.
~ A year ago today I was ordering takeaways ~ 

Swatter

It been hot this week and my nemesis, the super-annoying house fly, is back. Grrr!
~ A year ago today I was taking photos of my kittie ~ 

Giant Screen

New gear in the office! Not mine, unfortunately. Coveting it big time though.
~ A year ago today I was trying a new product ~

Grip

I buy hair clips often - I always seem to break them. This is my current favourite and probably the best one I've even had. I bought it in a supermarket in France. Wish I'd picked up several!
~ A year ago today I was drinking Earl Grey ~ 

Shoulder Bag

Got myself a new camera bag today. I think it's a good one - it has space to carry all my stuff.
~ A year ago today my kittie was in the garden ~ 

Kaput

Boo, my favourite pie dish broke. One way to get out of doing the washing up I guess :(
~ A year ago today I was wearing comfy tracksuit pants ~

Scrunchies

My hair has grown very long again, and today, like most days, I just tied it back in a ponytail. These new bright scrunchies look straight out of the 80s don't they?
~ A year ago today I was petting a dog ~ 

Old Croc

I have a very sore shoulder and neck. Went for some physiotherapy today, and also brought out my crocodile hot water bottle to apply some extra heat to the area.
~ A year ago today I was driving around a parking garage ~
