Blue Pill

I had a migraine today. Most unusual for me. I left work early, took one of these painkillers, and slept all afternoon. Still feel shaky.

My Two

When I get home the cats run out to to greet me. They check for cars, then roll in the gravelly dirt in the driveway. Same routine every day. Funny beasts.

Storage Box

I'd been planning on getting more storage space before the end of the year but only found out yesterday about the international hard drive catastrophe of 2011. So I was very chuffed when I found a reasonably-priced external hard drive online. I bought it last night and it arrived by courier before lunch today (excellent service from takealot.com).

Leafy

I was pleased to find kale in the shop yesterday. I cooked the leaves and then mixed with mashed potatoes - yum, it's one of my favourite vegetable dishes.

Southeaster

The wind, she is ba-a-a-a-ck! And so is my hay-fever and irritability :(

Planner

I've got myself a planner for the new year and have been thinking ahead to time off, trips away and other projects for 2012.

Bouquet

It's been a tough week and I wasn't feeling very well today so I bought myself some flowers to cheer me up. So pretty.
~ A year ago today I was staring at a mountain view ~

Fruit Salad

This is the dessert I took to a dinner party this evening, perfect in one of my new bowls.
~ A year ago today I had a doctor's appointment ~

Taking Steps

I've had a very busy few months and my health and exercise regime have suffered. It is time to make a bit of an effort to get fit again. Today I joined some friends for a walk up Kloof Corner. It felt great!
~ A year ago today I was reading Damon Galgut ~

The Next Five

This is my reading material for the next few weeks. I've set a target of seventy books for the year and have ten to go.
