taking stock: May & Makealong update

Looking: on Rightmove and Gumtree, all day every day. Ugh. 

Playing: with Annie Sloan chalk paint for the first time. 

Deciding: whether or not I absolutely need to use wax to seal the chalk paint. Any thoughts?

Wishing: I could paint ALL THE THINGS!

Waiting: for my breakfast to go down so I can head out for a run.

Liking: that our bathroom geranium is budding again. 

Wondering: if our tiny, weary houseplants need re-potting.

Loving: that Carly Rae Jepson video with actual Tom Hanks. Wut? 

Pondering: approx ten billion haircuts on Pinterest. 

Considering: getting my hair chopped off. It's like wearing a hat and scarf all the time!

Buying: eggs.

Watching: 3rd Rock from the Sun on Netflix. And the latest GoT.

Hoping: for healing.

Marvelling: at the difference sunshine makes to a day. 

Cringing: at my peely shoulders - got stupidly sunburnt last weekend.

Needing: to see for myself whether Poldark really is all that. 

Questioning: injustice. 

Smelling: Nuxe goodies from my in-laws. 

Wearing: my hair in a plait. 

Following: what's happening at Knit Fandango on Instagram. 

Noticing: the days getting longer. 

Knowing: we're leaving this flat in about a month. Eep.

Thinking: about splashing out on a pair of Saltwaters.

Admiring: new mums who are acing motherhood.

Coveting: other people's fab hair.

Disliking: having to dress for all four seasons at once. 

Opening: waaay more tabs than I need.

Giggling: with Mr P.

Feeling: overwhelmed and a bit worn out.

Snacking: on peanut butter rice cakes.

Hearing: bells and birdsong from the bathroom. Will miss it.
