Hot
- The temperature today. Meant to be going up to 21 and I can believe it - do we have a hot summer coming our way this year? Nooooo I don't handle heat and humidity well. It makes me whiny and, well, whiny. I suffer and I like others around me to suffer. Maybe this should be down below under 'What's not hot' but since it IS technically hot, I'll leave it up here.
- These gorgeous tea cosies from My Baboo on Flickr. I found them while looking for things with felt dots on them - as you do.
- A pile of jewel-toned felt pieces, hence #2
- The fish pie Mat made from Jamie at Home, seriously just about the best thing I've tasted in yonks!
- The start of neighbourhood athletics last night, with Hazel in the 4-5 year old group and having the time of her life (phew!). Watching the littlies run around like chooks with their heads cut off was gorgeous.
- The gorgeous high-res Charley Harper images you can download from the Contemporary Arts Centre. Woo!
- Getting the submission date for something really important wrong - by about 2 weeks.
- Hazel home with a cold means no work for me today, nor am I in the mood to be doting mummy due to #1
- People letting off fireworks for a week before Guy Fawkes, including some home-made ones. Some people are too stupid to be allowed near fireworks and they make life difficult for the rest of us normal folks. One mum on the way to athletics last night got turned around a few blocks away by the police because there was "a large unexploded bomb on the corner over there", no doubt one of the neighbourhood wanna-be terrorists was still perfecting his trade. :P And this at 6pm on a weeknight?
- Sore back from something I did and my stomach muscles aren't up to the task of holding it all together so it can repair itself! Must. Get. Swiss. Ball.
- Writing out a list of embroidery floss colours I need, going all the way to Spotlight to get them along with sewing machine needles and some felt - and then forgetting to get the floss.
Ohh thank you for the link to the Charlie Harper images. I just bought a 2010 diary with his work in it and I LOVE it. Thanks for playing along!
ReplyDeleteThose tea cosies are so super cute, and they would keep your tea really hot..which is pretty hot.
ReplyDeleteGood you are joining the H+N's, great list. Love the tea cosies! Chele
ReplyDeleteWe have people here who let off fireworks weeks before and after and it is really annoying! Love the Charlie Harper pictures. x
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about a sheep tea cosy?! Very cute :)
ReplyDeleteJamie's fish pie really is the best fish pie out there - and it's so easy to make! I might have to make one for G at the weekend...
Oh! Forgetting the floss would be so painful! (I've done that sort of thing.) Thanks for the link to the Contemporary Arts Center, and I love those adorable sheep, too!
ReplyDeleteI love Charlie Harper thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeletei can so relate to not #5
ReplyDeleteLoved your lists! And those hats look too darn cute!
ReplyDeleteWe have one of those Swiss balls - and to me it's definitely not hot! I've wanted to poke a hole in too many times by now... it's always somewhere lying in the way - a definite no-no when living in a tiny apartment like we do. And even the kids have lost interest in it, so maybe I should just go ahead and poke that hole in it...
