A pot roast is slowly cooking away in the crock pot this morning. Butter is softening for chocolate chip cookies. We had heart shaped crumpets and a strawberry and yellow plum fruit salad with vanilla sugar for breakfast. Laundry is whirring away in the machine and the wind is making the windows rattle. We are moving slowly, quietly. Snow was supposed to come in the wee hours of the morning, but it didn’t materialize. I don’t think I will ever get my snow day.
I can’t believe that today is the 1st of February! How did we get here? What happened to January? I still haven’t told you about Copenhagen, it’s still on my To-Do list, I’ll get there I promise! Work, just seems to be always in the way.
Today we are going to try and work on organising a few things, in between baking cookies and Mr. Michie grading papers and doing some school related jobs. There are piles everywhere it seems and I feel it is important for our home to be an oasis from the outside world. I don’t always feel I can relax with piles jumping out at me.
I’m also going to mentally prepare for the onslaught of the week. I’m tired of rude people on trains and tubes and platforms and streets. Why can’t everyone just be polite? Kindness is not a lot to ask for. Manners are not a lot to ask for. Manners will get you far in life, don’t ever think they won’t! Just be NICE!
I hope you are having a lovely Sunday, wherever you may be today.

It is only Tuesday and already this week has taken off like a kite dipping and diving in a strong wind.
I had a little post, I was working on for you, but that will have to wait as I am teaching another chemical photography class tomorrow afternoon and I have been busy with my final preparations for that.
I am so excited to see what they will come up with. We will be making photograms, first in the style of Man Ray and then I will have them create a digital collage from the work of 3 photographers I like and intertwined within that, will be slices from one of my favorite poems. The digital collage piece will be printed on to acetate and then we will make a photogram from it.
So, much is whirring in my head, I am finding it hard to find a little peace, but, I like staying busy. Off, I go, as my kite just caught another updraft…

This poster states how I am feeling at the moment. I don’t know why but as my Nana would say, “my feet are itchin’ to go somwhere”. I am ready for some different scenery for a little while…

My Jolly Postman rapped at my door a few mornings ago now with his cherry red bike in one hand and this in the other:
And what was inside this adorably wrapped tube? It was this:
My sweetie surprised me and had ordered this print I had been pining away for on Etsy. It is by the very sweetly named Katie Daisy.
I believe very much in this quote, I am wandering, I think I might have found a new path (more to come on that), but I never felt lost.
Go look at her gorgeous page and her other wonderful designs. I love this one:
And this one:
And so many more…
