The washing machine just clunked. rather loudly. oh well, it's still spinning right round, doing it's job and getting on with the task at hand. Our washing machine has a lot of time off. I don't think it gets overaly worked with heavy blankets or rugs or whatever those signs in laundry mats say not to put in their washers. I wouldn't mind coming back as our washing machine.
So...This is my first post on this lovely new blog. Why should you continue reading, well I can't really answer that question for you. Are you a vouyer that indulges your precious time on others peoples personal thoughts? Do you like this ladies certified insanity and the letters she pours out on the digital screen? Or are you truly just curious as to what pumpkin seeds have to do with anything?
Monday, bloody Monday or was it Tuesday? No, no it was Monday but I'm not sure where the blood comes in, that's right the Irish. The bloody Irish. Right, back to Monday. Excuse me while i digress (please be aware that digressions may happen often and without warning, as the writter I reserve the right to digress, but please let me know if it's happening too often and I'll get the ole post it notes out and cover this little laptop with reminders.)
Monday, the 21 of Febuary in the year 2011. What a glorius day. Sent the lover and two housemates off and settled into a day of puttering. Great puttering days aren't planned. They take shape over the course of a few hours and suddenly you're caught up learning how to dry pumpkin seeds while the sweet smell of a simmering soup (too much illteration?) seeps (yes!) into the kitchen air. The dishes are pilled up in their neat stacks awaiting the wash, tea towels are strewn around counters and there you are, elbow deep in pumpkin seed fleash and film. Have you ever tried getting all the flesh off a pumpkin seed? Well it takes some time.
And that's where this lovely new blog comes from. Time. Found time. Time that is mine, and now, I suppose yours.
To appreciate just how much time I've lost lately I had to make some pumpkin soup which led to the pumpkin seeds. This blog is about finding some time every day to do something that actually takes time.
