Do you ever have one of those days where you look back at everything you’ve done and think “wow, I’ve achieved HEAPS (my new favorite word) today”. In response to my own question, yes, Emma, yes I do.

Granted, it’s not all glamour - except a visit to the laundromat, which is all glamour, baby. I got up this morning at 5, and all I could think about as I stumbled around the house was having a nap as soon as I got home. That thought took me through until I had coffee at 8.30, when I started thinking about what I’d eat for lunch. In case you’re wondering, it was Indian spinach and paneer cheese, which was so wonderful I’d have it every day, but next time, I won’t eat it so soon before teaching yoga.

I’ve also run with Mr Dog, gone to the supermarket, hung out my laundry, taught yoga (after lunch), made pizza dough, and constructed a fantastic icecream involving a chocolate cone, blueberries and classy vanilla ice cream for Miss M. I also posted a letter, which I’m possibly more proud of than anything else. Letters are sometimes impossible to post in my experience, even though I walk past a convenient red box at least once a day.

And of course, written my second post in two days. I’m discovering the secret to getting things done is not to over think. Sad, because I’m an obsessive over thinker, but I’ve managed to achieve more in the last three days by just getting on with it (copyright Josh) than when I’ve had a list to make my way through. I’ve recently discovered my brother is an obsessive list maker too, but will also make a sub list, where various tasks are distilled into a more manageable chunk. Does he get through it? I’ll allow you to make up your own mind.

Today I’m loving: Mr Dog, who, though it was hot and humid, dutifully ran beside me, and only stopped infrequently to give me a look which clearly said “you’re insane, but I still love you”. What a good boy!
