Goals from previous week: read books and do more pilates

Books I finished this week: Mercy by Rebecca Lim and Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta (again). The former looks like a good new series with the next book due in May. The latter is my favourite book of all time. I’m about to start reading the sequel.

Favourite things this week: Apart from Spud being more delightful than ever I really liked my Clinique goodies, pilates Youtube finds and re-reading Saving Fracesca. Oh and this:

Linus likes to touch things

Biggest disappointment this week: Suckerpunch. Red Riding Hood was also disappointing, but I was already suspicious about its director.

Can’t get enough of: Mint Aero cholocolate, pilates and chai lattes

Spud happenings: He furballed twice, hugged every wall in the house and tried to climb on me numerous times while I was on the toilet, but above all else has been a good little holiday companion. I wake up with him curled up beside me every morning. I don’t feel him jump up because he doesn’t knead me when he gets up. It’s a nice little surprise.

Goals for next week: Post more musings, do some marking, avoid unnecessary spending and do some adventuring in the local area.

 

I’ve been pretty good with maintaining this musings challenge. I’ve managed to post something everyday, although sometimes I don’t post until just after midnight so it looks like I’ve missed the odd day. My next challenge is to drink 1.5 litres of water per day. I used to do this by keeping my water bottle next to my lipbalm or hand cream, but now I’m addicted to lipglosses and I have too many spread around so that plan has kind of failed. I need a new tactic. Maybe I should guzzle some water from my big water bottle every time I access my email tab or open the fridge or something. It’s much easier to do this when at home because all I want to drink at school is chai latte.

I seem to have established a routine where I’ll have a chai latte and then an apple close to midnight and my bedtime.
