As I look outside my window: Bright and sunny and just a bit chilly. Looks like a lovely day.

Right now I am: Making dinner, scones, and brunch. It’s a busy cooking morning.

Thinking and pondering: How many cardboard bases do I need to cut for engineering coop class? My brain does not want to do math this morning.

On my bedside table: The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi; The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler

On my tv this week: We’ve been watching a few series including Slow Horses and Brave New World.

What I am creating:

My simple pleasures:

Looking around the house: I need to do a general pickup today in preparation for the rest of the week. And the kitchen probably needs a big wipe down.

From the camera: The boys went to a birthday party last night at the play place. Lots of fun on the trampolines.
