bad summer.
illness - swine flu, severe anaemia, possibility of being a coeliac
stress
no money
no jobs
arguements and tears
projects out of the window

hopeful autumn
26 days until mrs birkinshaw
new starts
1/2 a job between the two of us
kind gifts of money from generous people
cap cai and chips served by men with blue and pink nailpolish
kind people who let you come back to pay for the jeans you had to buy because of the rain at a later time
decision making
friends who celebrate your new job with high tea and champagne
friends who leave you little notes asking why you didn't come see them in their office
the excitement of new projects starting
waiting and hoping
the chance for things to settle
picking up 365 and 52/52 all over again (my summer destroyed them with illness and a lack of caring about anything anymore ... i lost all sense of hope and joy for a few weeks)
my own room (in the in-laws house) soon to be our own room which will one day chance to our own house ( i can't wait to start nesting)
ani phyo's raw food cookbooks
dates and cashews and walnuts and cocoa
the excitement that comes with knowing that tomorrows lunch will be a bento lunch
hope and joy and love.

so i realised today that i need to start thinking of new things that i can do in my 52/52 project

so i am opening it up to you, wonderful friends list, to suggest new things that i can do over the next 51 weeks (week one has been and gone already!)

exciting things, tiny things, big things, dull things, fun things, sad things, pretty things

suggest away .... :)

niceness :)
baking spiced cakes with pink lemonade icing :)
cuddles with mr perkins (the cat) in bed :)
a bench with lots of flowers and cards on near where i nanny - i assumed that a person had died ... turns out that there was a cat that used to hang around there a lot who got run over - the people of the community were really sad about it and have left so many notes and even had a little metal plaque made to remember him by :)
talking to the kids i nanny about stroking bumblebees :)
watching ice age 3 in a tiny ancient cinema (the screen was probably smaller than some people's televisions) :)
peter :)
super spicey pasta sauce made with minimal ingredients :)
sunshine and clouds :)

day 5 (2), originally uploaded by inmywindow.

peter took this one. i worked out the thing i hate about having my photo taken is the holding a pose ... i start to let my smile fade a little because i feel self concious. which is why i'm posting 2 pictures for today - one i took and then this one, as part of an on going battle to not mind when people take pictures of me...

(also i'm going away to cat sit as of tonight so i won't be able to upload pictures onto lj (well ... i might ... i'll have to see if my camera will connect to their computer) but if not, i'll just post all my pictures up when i get back home instead!

day 5, originally uploaded by inmywindow.

we had a family bbq today - it was nice and sunny outside and i was in a very excitable mood (hence the manic smile!)

day 4, originally uploaded by inmywindow.

Peter took this one - i wasn't actually quite asleep, but it probably sums up the day quite well. We had a very very lazy day indeed .... :)

day 3, originally uploaded by inmywindow.

bit of a random one but this is part of me that i have a constant love hate relationship ... i actually have a classic hourglass figure (i'll show this a bit better in another picture) but that also means i have a fairly shapely midrif. anyway, p-roo loves it and i'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that toned washboard stomachs aren't nessecarily what ever man (and woman) finds beautiful...

(3 extra comments on this one - 1: i said i'd try to make sure they weren't all head shots, 2.the random hole just above my bellybutton is where i used to have a piercing 3. i have the deepest bellybutton in the world!)
