Things that make me happy:
finding a pyrex lid for our casserole dish at the op-shop last Tuesday, ours broke ages ago

Book I am reading:
because I love Spirited TV and think maybe this book will be similar
Freedom by Franzen, Jonathan from this five from Facebook

What I am enjoying on TV:
Spirited, as it really isn't about ghosts, it is a very clever love story where the money or sex doesn't come into it because one of the people is a ghost

On the menu for dinner:
we had pea and ham soup and added kranskys and brussels sprouts when I wrote this

On my To Do list:
a bit of bill juggling, pick up the above book from the library, and rest to get better, I have a virus, which is still hanging on a little

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
Speedy Burritos

In the craft basket:
no craft. One daughter though wants me to buy canvases online for her next art project

Looking forward to this week:
paying my rates finally, I have two properties, it gets a bit much

Tips and tricks:
don't use masala instead of dry sherry for soup, the kids didn't appreciate it much, as I suspected

My favourite blog post this week:
... went up the hill
Housework

Blog Hopping (a new discovered blog you would like to share with the readers):
none this week

No words needed: another pic from my husband's lunch at the power station where Victoria gets some of it's electricity



Lesson learned the past few days:
just to be kind and have faith in people

On my mind:
I have been looking at the B. Arts degree at one uni here. Some of the subjects have a bit about witchcraft in them, learning about it I guess, to do with society? I wonder if that is an issue for some studying it, or is it better to know what goes on?

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
Matthew 5:48 we read, “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father
is perfect.”
