Hopefully getting back into routine for the year

FOR TODAY

Outside my window...

The  sun has been trying to shine after recent torrential rain. It has been humbling watching a couple of sparrows sheltering in the aluminium louvres outside our living room window.
I am thinking...
how quiet it is staying home on an Australia Day holiday, when activities that we planned to attend have been cancelled and there doesn't seem to be much traffic.
I am thankful...
that we came home a few days earlier than we originally planned and missed the landslide on the mountain and the flood at Bellingen
In the kitchen...
Some small cakes that I made for an out-of-town friend who was calling in yesterday, but she was unable to get out yesterday or today. We have arranged to meet for lunch tomorrow.
I am wearing...
A sleeveless cotton dress, very cool, I got two in a sale at a very reduced price somewhere on my travels.
I am creating...
Nothing today, but I did make seven of the knitted teddy bears for "Care and Share" while we were away, I am  a better passenger if I am knitting....LOL
I am going...
to get busy in the garden when this rain is finished and it dries a little!
I am reading...
Haven't been reading much, still dipping into the Healing Musician
I am hoping...
for a fine weekend so that we can celebrate hubby's birthday as planned
I am looking forward to...
the above (more later)
I am hearing...
the TV in the living room
Around the house...
started tidying cupboards...... ran out of inspiration on that though
  One of my favorite things...
visiting family, but will have to be content with phone calls and FB for months to come
A few plans for the rest of the week:
as mentioned, lunch at the club tomorrow, and hopefully a couple of days away over the weekend.
Here is picture I am sharing...
