Gwendolyn The Hobbit.

birds-on-hand

I wish we could fly. I think it’d be so lovely to just take-off whenever we felt like it. Then we wouldn’t have those dreams that you’re falling and you land in your bed as you wake up with a jolt – we could simply just stretch our arms and fly! At the same time, it’d be pretty annoying with the whole human race flying around your bedroom windows. I guess we can’t have it all, can we?!

Today was a nice, quiet day. I’m going to do heaps of cleaning tonight as well as some laundry which is always a big groan. Especially since we have one radiator to dry on and the last time I used that wretched washing machine, the top came out sopping wet with water dripping all over the floor. I think it’s out to get me. The washing machine, not the top.

I can’t stop looking into buying houses even though I know I’m just dreaming. It’s always wonderful to dream because then I know what I’m aiming for. If we don’t know our goals, how will we ever get anywhere? I know I’m constantly called a dreamer, but in reality I’m really just creating goals. I’m a goal-creator, not just a “dreamer.”

Tomorrow I need to get some practise shots for this project due in next week. Nathan’s been an angel and is really helping me brainstorm and get everything in order. Where on Earth would I be without my forever trusting side-kick? Well, he’s more of the superhero and I’m the side-kick, but I like to think of it this way round for now, it makes me feel like I’m not just a follower. [: Apparently the weather’s going to be good so I can use the Sun for light which is always a plus. Hoorah!

I should probably be off, the cleaning awaits. Now I see why they call it “Spring cleaning.” Groan. I wish I had a hobbit to do it. I’d call them Gwendolyn (because I like that name and it just sounds awesome to say) and she could do all the stuff I didn’t want to, and we’d pay her with ice cream and donuts. I wish, I wish.

Peace out.

Blueberry Muffins & Sugar Mice.

March 8th, 2009

img_2679-pola

Hello everyone!

My fingers are all sticky after devouring a blueberry muffin and now I’m eyeing up some sugar mice which are smiling sweetly at me.

Gosh, things have been a whirlwind. It really feels like God has been putting us to the ultimate test, and just when you feel like you’re on top of it, something else happens to put you down again. Oh well, things only ever go up and I think all this bad luck is about to run out – touch wood. [:

Today has been so incredibly sunny. Then around 2.30 a huge rainstorm whipped up out of no where. The wind was spraying it against the windows at a crazy force and we even heard one clap of thunder (which was very unimpressive!) And now it is sunny again as if nothing ever happened. Oh England, why do you trick us this way? Why?

Nay and I have been brainstorming ideas on how to get rich. We’re currently working on a top secret mission (well, he mainly is, as usual I’m just tagging along and then he’ll give me half of the undeserving credit). I think it could make life very different and exciting. I know this can work, it’d be lovely to have some extra cash in our back pockets. Who wouldn’t want that?!

I dream of us owning a house. A house with a patio so Nathan and I can sit outside on Summer evenings in the Sun. And it’d be magical. We’d go for evening walks with the warm air sweeping us along and we’d be in cool tops and sandals. I can’t imagine it ever being that warm again, and I don’t understand why I am suddenly anticipating Summer so much.

I found this wonderful firefly jar for sale. It is just so awesome and would make anyone feel nostalgic. It’s only $17.95 which is a price you couldn’t refuse and they’ll keep you amused for hours on end.

And that would be all for now! Until next time, peace out.

Nearly Friday!

March 5th, 2009

You see this picture? Imagine you’re really there. This is what the place looks like right now. Its beautiful.

The weather is glorious at the moment. There is a nip in the air, but otherwise the Sun is really making such a huge difference to everyone’s happiness level.

I still haven’t finished my FMP proposal. I’m just so uninspired to write about it. Uni just isn’t floating my boat. It makes me drag my feet and groan about the state of things. Mainly, it makes me stressed and puts me in a bad mood. I wish I could block it out.

Stupid work.

Today has been hectic. Had a 6.30 start which was surprisingly pleasant. Visited Granny who had, had a fall and badly hurt her metal hip, so everyone was extremely worried. Just had news that she’s only bruised herself as she is so scrawny and small with “no meat on her bones.” But spent the morning comforting Grandpa who had to stay behind whilst she went to hospital.

Nathan made a fantastic potato bake to come home to for lunch. It was so scrumptious and filling. I think that was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. He’s such a good chef.

Oh! The other night I had a dream about shooting stars as we walked home in the dark. I love seeing shooting stars. In real life a couple of months ago, I saw one and squealed whilst trying to show Nathan, then as I pointed another one fell. It was magical. Anyway, I found this photo laying around gathering dust and it reminded me of that dream.

Chasing Golden Ducks.

March 4th, 2009

Nathan said, “Chasing golden ducks” yesterday. I really like that phrase now. It reminds me of the goose that laid golden eggs until the greedy owners cut it open to find nothing inside.

It is supposed to rain today. Rain like mad. But right now the Sun is shining through our yellow curtains. Never trust the weatherman?

And I was getting so excited for Spring. Well, at least today can be a cosy day.

dial-m-for-murder

We watched “Dial M For Murder” the other night. It was epic and such a classic, it has us laughing in the cheesiest places. Some movies just scream “CHEESE!” We also finished the Matrix trilogy which was really sad. We were both devastated when Trinity died (for those of you who know it). Poor Trin.

Today my goal is to finish my Final Major Project proposal as I have to take it in on Friday. I’m still undecided and yet I have so many ideas. How is that possible?

Another two things I’m going to do today would be to:

Reach out someone, I won’t feel scared about asking for help.

reach

And slow down and look at what is around me. I must train myself to live in the present, not the past. I must be grateful for what I have.

I think Nathan and I are both feeling stuffy in the nose still, so today would also be a brilliant opportunity to blow it away, once and for all. [:

Until next time then!

March Is Here.

March 2nd, 2009

blossom-cropped-resized

The blossom was all out today and it looks beautiful, so I snapped this photo to celebrate.

I’ve missed Spring so much.

Today we went on another bicycle adventure. We went all around the wilderness with the Sun on our backs. We found an old Victorian well and a spring which trickled off down a slope. I wish we’d had a picnic, it would have been even more magical than it was. We took some HDR photographs of the place which we’ll play around with. I’m excited. I think we’ll go back on Wednesday or Thursday when the Sun is out and take some sandwiches and strawberries.

Nay and I are going to enter a photography competition which should be fun. It means we could have our photographs exhibited which would be so awesome. I know he’ll beat me though, but at least I have an excuse to get competitive!

Mother’s Day is around the corner and I’d really like to bake some cupcakes. I know that hand-made things always go down a treat, and something edible would be even more appreciated! Speaking of food, right now I’d love some apple crumble.

Its going to rain tomorrow. Time to wrap up in warm cardigans and snuggle up.
