Today



Today I'm feeling a million things, middle aged, happy, young at heart, warm, unmotivated, cheerful, slightly down, satisfied, lucky, loved, busy, relaxed...and on it goes. Oh the burden of being a Gemini. Funny how you can feel all those different things at once isn't it?  I'm just going to try and ignore myself a bit, honestly, I do carry on sometimes...


It's easy to be distracted. A hungry cockie, stealing the chooks scraps just about flew into my head this morning.


My birthday skirt. One of two. 


Lovely, adorable skirt. Australian made, merino wool,


The love affair has begun.


Books, have you discovered the Book Depository yet? I'm hooked.
Free postage gets me every time.


A birthday read which I have just started. It's not quite grabbing me yet but hey, I'm patient (and middled aged, grumpy, happy...oh shut up!)


My new, wonderful cushion which I just love and adore!! Can you see it there, nestled on the couch? I received it in Vic's cushion swaporama, from the very talented and super sweet Zippy Zippy! It's one of those special things that is destined to be with us for a lifetime, gee it makes me smile. I'm thinking too of our little niece Tova, who turns 5 today! How I wish we all lived near each other so Rosie and Tova could play, so we could share cake and celebrate together.


Do you like my new painting? It's finally paid for, and home where it belongs. "Amigo's" is the work of local artist, Moya. Love.


Two other little doggies have been distracting me today with their fancy pants hair cuts. Who would have known Daisy was really a white dog??? Amazing what a bath and a bit of a snip can do.


Max is such a handsome devil. Here he is, pondering his upcoming birthday (tomorrow) and all the treats he so rightly deserves.

Messages in my Inbox..they are driving me crazy!!! Are you getting them too?

"My name is miss Adera Mohamed.I wish to communicate with you through this medium and i hope my meeting you will not offend you in anyway.I will like us to know  ourselves better,so we can exchange pictures too.Moreover i have very Important issue which is giving me lot of concern to discuss with you for assistance.Thanks for your understanding,i will be expecting to read from you soon.
Yours Adera."

Rack off Adera!!



So there you go! I haven't shown you the other distractions, dirty dishes, food prep, washing, forms to fill out, chooks to feed, etc. Better go and tend to them now. Hope your inner voice is being kind today, and not to muddled up.
The sun is shining here and the week is off to a good start. See you soon lovely friends xo

You ahve lifted my day.

I like Book Depository too, despite everyone prattling on about how we should support our local bookshops, it's hard to ignore a bargain. Try booko.com.au, another great site. As for those funny email messages...they have the ability to make me snorty-laugh, then feel sad at the thought that someone out there might actually be taken in.
Enjoy the rest of this lovely, sunny day,

Louise

Love the skirt, thanks for the free shipping book store tip, inner voice is being rather unkind but will soldier on (joys of being Cancerian, cutest doggy people eva.

Claire said...

Hey Beck, I was just reading about all your feelings and thinking, 'hey, I can relate to that' and then I read you are a Gemini, Bingo...........
kBoth hubby and I are Gemini's so imagine how confusing that is at times, hehe.

Hope you had a lovely birthday, I'm still on the countdown............

Love your cushion from Zippy Zippy, bunting love, yummee.

Fab painting 'Amigo's', wonderful.

Gorgeous skirt. Lucky you! Your post made me laugh today - all those feelings that drift through our brains. I'm a Libran so have the added complication of constant indecision and seeing everything from all sides.

Max is indeed a handsome devil!

Hello there Dandelion. I am so happy to have discovered your beautiful blog. For a birthday present, just in case you didn't know, did you know all cockies are left handed?

There, now you can have endless hours of fun trying to find a right handed one...if you are that way inclined.
