Checking In: June




Making : Focussing on a lovely cowl at the moment, see this post :)
Cooking : Not so much at the moment, when I do it seems to be pasta.
Drinking : A lot of tea
Reading: 'Interrogating Ellie' by Julian Gray
Wanting: My final lot of feedback on my thesis so I can move on with my life
Looking: For an excuse not to do the washing. 
Deciding: What to have for dinner, C is away so free choice (maybe not pasta for once ;))
Wishing: I knew what happens next so I can plan fun stuff.
Enjoying: BBQs in the evening.
Waiting: For responses to job applications, no luck so far but hopefully something will fall into place.
Loving: My parents' garden (all photos above courtesy of their lovely plants!)
Considering: A drastic hair cut... 
Watching: Frozen. I'm a self-confessed 28 year old sucker for Disney films.
Needing: A bit more structure.
Smelling: Roses
Wearing: Summer dresses, at last!
Noticing: Just how many summer dresses I actually own
Knowing: It's going to be a hot week!
Thinking: About how to squeeze some sort of a break away into the coming weeks. 
Feeling: Peaceful
Admiring: This cushion from the lovely blog 'She loves to crochet'.
Sorting: A pile of handbags I seem to have accumulated.
Snacking: Yoghurt and honey mmmmm.
Coveting: New yarn. Must. Use. Stash. First.
Wishing: The cat would find somewhere else to sit. It's too hot for black furry cats on your lap.
Hearing: *cough* "LET IT GOOOO" etc. courtesy of Frozen.

    I wish I could say I am was wearing a summer dress! Scotland is not at its best just now. Keeping my fingers crossed for your job applications, I have only just come out of nearly two year long search for a 'proper' job (one that actually requires the training I have) and I know the waiting is not always easy. x

      Thanks Christina! Huge congratulations on the job :) Searching is so tedious but will hopefully have a happy ending... I hope Scotland catches up with the rest of the UK soon! x

    Beautiful flowers! I've been wearing Summer clothes for quite some time now, and since I don't really love hot weather I'm almost tired of them already... xD Enjoy yours! xx

    Summer has arrived here as well and I plan to spend the entire weekend either at my parent's pool or at the lake. Life is easier when it's hot outside! ;)
    Good luck with your applications!

    I enjoy reading your lists very much. It's very hot here too, so I'm not feeling a lot like cooking at the moment. Salads are good, though. The flower photos are lovely and a crocheted cushion sounds perfect for summer. I love summer dresses too, but have mainly winter ones. Think I need to remedy that sometime. Hope you find time to have a good break :)
