Patience and crochet

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

And finally, here’s the start of my crochet for the year! With Edward, of course.

The pattern is from a book that I bought with my dad over 20 years ago! I bought the book (encyclopedia of needlework) together with a crochet hook, a knitting needle and several balls of […]

A long weekend …

Monday, January 8th, 2007

Quite a long weekend, and good to have the time away from work for a while. However, I will need to get work out of my mind when I’m trying to relax and find time for myself. Thinking about work even when you’re not actually working could be just as stressful.
My auntie finally got to […]

Towards the fire

Friday, January 5th, 2007

Two kings and a Jack in my reading for today, which should be good overall, but a strange spread. And no water, all air and fire. My ex-partner comes home today, yes, the Philippines is now home to him. My country is really beautiful, but often so easy to take for granted. It is quite […]

A reading for my ex-ex

My ex-partner’s ally and strength […]

My fearless forecasts for a few friends ;)

Oregano

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

Another early day - up for breakfast at 5:30AM - tupig (glutinous rice cake wrapped in banana leaves and baked over live charcoals) and a kind of naam bread with cheese (bought from the mall bakery). And just water. It would be good to have water first and coffee for a bit later. The chamomile […]

Garden 2007 :)

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

And finally, photos from the garden! There are now lots and lots of sprouts from the flower seeds I scattered and soon the place will be full of blooms! I’ve told Alwin about getting the seeds from the dried flowers and so now he’s also planting seeds and making cuttings.
But first, […]
