A Damsel's Daybook I

Autumn has started "A Damsel's Daybook" at her blog. It's basically the "Simple Woman's Daybook" for young women. Click here for more info. It will be happening every Monday, but I just couldn't resist posting my first one now, even though it's Tuesday. 

Outside my window. . . lots of green, and a tablecloth drying on the washing line.

I am thinking about. . . how I wish library books didn't have to be returned. :P I guess I'll just have to buy my own copies of the library books that I particularly love.

From the kitchen. . . my sister Grace and myself have just finished making two fruit cakes and a double batch of banana and chocolate chip slice. They're in the oven now!

I am creating. . . another pair of socks and numerous knitted lace edgings.

I am reading. . . Mansfield Park by Jane Austen and Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens.

I am hearing. . . turtledoves cuckooing and numerous other birds singing, baby sister chatting away, chairs and feet thudding on the floorboards above me.

I am hoping. . . that my banana slice isn't going to be a total disaster. It's a new recipe, and I'm not quite sure how it's going to turn out. . .

I am planning. . . what do with the rest of the afternoon. 

I am wearing. . . teehee! this is fun! :-) Ahem, yes, I am wearing rather boring clothes - blue skivvy, long denim skirt.

Around the house. . . activity! Little people moving, playing, doing stuff. . .

My wish of the week. . . that I was capable of reading 6 books at once. And that I had time to re-read The Lord of the Rings. Okay, that's two wishes - I'm cheating! Better stop now. . .
