Aargghh! It’s been one of those weeks. Again. I have been under the weather (nauseous, achey, sore throat) for over a week now, Mr Park the cable chewer has developed a limp which comes and goes (is he putting it on for attention because he is hot and cranky?) and we have an ant nest under the conservatory and ants are eating away at the walls. The ants must be killed apparently. But I cannot partake in such barbaric practices without breaking the laws of ahimsa can I? Or does stopping my house from falling down count as a a reason to allow ants to die? I don’t know. I hear black pepper makes them leave home so I’m giving that a whirl first. As for the cat’s limp, well we’ll see….
So I’m wracking my brains for things I love. But as usual they turn out to be right in front of my nose.
* Cambridge in the summer. There is something very special about that.
* Finally working out how to use the library’s online reserve and renew function. It is totally counter-intuitive but I’ve got it now. I need to stop spending so much on books.
* Tranquilista – the most inspiring book of 2010. Stat. I am also waiting in happy anticipation for my first TranquiliT order. If you haven’t checked out Kimberly’s beautiful bamboo clothing then really you should!
* Water with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of lemon. Or both. It’s the simple things.
* Being pretty much where I need to be right now. And trying to accept that without pushing, without forcing, without gripping. I love that I’m slightly better at this than I used to be.
Et tu readers?
PS – Himself has taken some beautiful pictures of the gruesome twosome if you’re interested here.
