Oh. Monday.

Well, I have no idea where the last week went - lost in a whirl of washing, 'sorting', paperwork and general mooching around I expect. I was resolved not to make any New Year's Resolutions as I never keep them, but maybe, just maybe, I could manage a new week resolution.
Let's see . . . I resolve to make this week not blend into all the others. There - that should do it . . .

So, Everyday Monday (again) and I am currently obsessing about shelves. I'm caught in that place between fabulousness and practicality (shelfwise, you understand). We have lots of pretty things and some beautiful things and I want to arrange our pretty things on open shelves for all to see. But the thing is - we don't need to use any of that stuff on any kind of a regular basis (really, some of it - not at all) By rights the bag of raisins and tub of rice cakes should have prime position. I seem to be forever getting those out of the pantry.

We have another shelf at our window that boasts an ever changing range of weirdness. These little ladies came from Riga in Latvia and let me tell you they are not the kind of thing I usually buy. Maybe I could blame it on the cold? It was -25 - the coldest I have EVER been. But I still sort of like them so . . .
My Dad thinks he can sometimes see them move out of the corner of his eye. My friends think they are chickens. What all of this says about any of us - I don't know!

Have good evenings everyone. I've made sweet potato, chicken and cinnamon stew for dinner. Yum.
