Today I am joining the Here and Now link up with Sarah from Say! Little Hen. I really enjoy her blog and have discovered some other blogs I really like reading, too, through the link up.
LOVING// The newly pruned roses are already showing regrowth, so spring is coming! The arum lilies are lush and blooming, too. I know they’re classified as weeds in Australia but I love the shape and contrast of striking green and pure white. I have done some water colour paintings of them over the years.
EATING// I make a loaf of sourdough bread every few days. I like the rustic, imperfect shape and it tastes so good.
DRINKING// Although I’m careful about how many coffees I have each day, I start every day with a double espresso.
FEELING// Surprised at how quickly my retirement date has arrived. I officially retire tomorrow after 41 years as a teacher with the Department of Education. A difficult decision but now I’m filled with plans for traveling, craft and gardening and so many other things.
THINKING// How interesting it is to be home at this time of the year and see how the sun reaches into the house and warms the tiled floor.
DREAMING// Spring in the garden. We’re re-doing a garden bed which has always struggled. So, new soil and then I can plant out the cream clivias I have grown from seeds.
Did you know today is Emoji Day? Emojis have become fully fledged animated faces and symbols. These textual expressions evolved from early Japanese phones which then captivated the world market. Emoji is E, Japanese for a picture and MOJI, for a character. Once only on phones, emojis are now found on every device. Have fun with emojis today!
