PURSUE THE ENJOYABLE THINGS

SOURCE

Hi.
I've not been around the ol' blogosphere much recently (for that I apologise) but, I have been enjoying life.
I'm not working at the moment and uni has finished for this year, leaving me with more time to spend doing some lovely and fun things.

PURSUE THE LAZY DAY THINGS

Hello.
Today has been a well needed lazy day for me and the babe. A lazy day at home to do things we enjoy. And to clean. Which was not so enjoyable.
It's been a while since we have baked together. It has also been a while since I have baked just for the fun of it. So, today we baked.
I had a couple of rather ripe bananas so we whipped up some good ol' banana bread. Banana bread is the perfect thing to cook with Isobel. It's easy peasy and she can join in with every stage. In fact, I'm not really sure I actually did much at all.

PURSUE THE FITNESS THINGS

Hello.
I went for a run this morning and while I was puffing and panting around the lake I thought it's about time I did an update on my 'PURSUE THE FITNESS THINGS' post and let you in on a little confession I have to make ...
I haven't done a mile every day since setting my goal. Rubbish I know but I do have a viable excuse, honestly!

PURSUE THE EVERYDAY THINGS

Hello.
You may have noticed that I've been kind of AWOL as of late. I would love to say it's for some unusual and exciting reasons but boringly I've simply been a tad preoccupied with life.

PURSUE THE PLAYFUL THINGS

Hello.
Isobel loves to play, as do most 2 year olds. She is now in the "what's that?" "what cha doing?" stage and is so interested and involved in anything that she can get interested and involved in.
They say that children are like sponges and it really is true in Izzie's case. She soaks up every little thing, good and bad (which reminds me that I really must curb my swearing) and relays it like it's no big deal, all the while I'm sat there open mouthed wondering how she got so gosh darn smart.

PURSUE THE GREEN FINGERED THINGS

Hello.

I have a confession to make...I kill plants. No matter what I do they die.
I have however, over the past few years had a number of fruitful attempts at growing vegetables. Last year Andy and I even harvested a few super skinny carrots, a handful of ropey looking green beans and some miniature Maris Piper potatoes.
Following our previous (sort of) success I'm aiming big with this years crops whilst hopefully ticking number 13 off my list of things to pursue; Grow a Cucumber. I'm hoping to grow a few other lovelies too but this is the year that I WILL harvest and eat a cucumber that has been grown in my very own back garden by my very own hands.
