Simple Woman's daybook and - chocolate!!!!

Outside my window...
it is a dull day but I've seen sparrows, pigeons and other birds flying around and I've just seen a beautiful blackbird with his bright orange beak sitting on my fence. Mama blackbird is hopping around, I'm guessing looking for a healthy breakfast of worms.


I am thinking...
Chocolate!! yes not the healthy breakfast for me I'm off to the chocolate factory with my grandchildren and son and daughter in law. Mmmm yummy! Well maybe not quite breakfast but I may eat a lot :o)


I am thankful for ...
my family and how the Lord protects us. It's been a tough few months with one thing and another and maybe I'll write a list one day of all that has happened.


From the learning rooms ...
Keep on praying. I may have said this before but prayer is our lifeline and I for one will keep on praying. There is just something about prayer. I'm never as close to the Lord as when I'm praying and I should spend more time doing it.


From the kitchen ...
there's only one word for it - mess. It's been a busy week and it's the first thing on my to do list.

I am wearing...
sort of denim blue trousers that come just above the ankle, a grey vest type top and my lovely grey and black cardigan with the big button. The button is fab, probably the nicest thing about the cardigan but it's a chilly day so I'm staying warm.

I am creating ...
not much at the moment, oh a lady wants me to make a pendant and earrings for her daughter's prom so I'm creating those. She brought the most beautiful burgundy dress in and showed me the burgundy and gold pins she'll have in her hair so I'm trying to create something around that.

I am going ...
to Cadbury World - chocolate mmmm

I am reading ...
Exodus, nothing else at the moment.


I am hoping ...
the sun comes out and it gets a little warmer now that Spring is here.

I am hearing...
the whirring of my computer as it's just told me it needs to fix lots of things and that I need to do a back up which I keep forgetting to do. I think one of these days it may just crash and then where will I be.

Around the house...
Easter hols so no school and just plenty of clearing out and tidying up to do.
One of my favorite things...
spending time with the family, and today is one of those days. Even better when chocolate is part of the day too.


A few plans for the rest of the week ...
to buy some new clothes for my weekend away. To tidy the house and maybe get into the garden. I'm doing a poem at the youth group on Friday and need a costume, bibilical lady ... but where to get one. I'll just have to have a look to see what I have at home.


Here is picture thought I am sharing... Ben and Tom at the park, just over the road from my house.
