Meme

To go with the blogger award the other day, here's a blogger Meme.  (Does one pronounce it 'me-me' as I think?  Or is it 'meem' as N thinks?  And does it really matter anyway?)  This one came from Florida.

There's no copyright on it, please feel free to use it.

Outside my window... are tree ferns, a vegetable garden, a bit of lawn and then the steep zig-zag path down to the river.

I am thinking... how much I am looking forward to my visit to Auckland next week to hear the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra.

I am thankful for... My home, my children, my health, many things.

From the kitchen... I can smell bread cooking.

I am wearing... jeans and an old shirt for painting.

I am creating... a copy of a renaissance painting.

I am hearing... the lovely sounds of the dawn chorus.

I am reading... Terry Pratchett's "The Night Watch" - for about the third time.

I am hoping... that the accommodation in Auckland on Tuesday night will be nice.  I got it off the back of a supermarket receipt, you see.  

Around the house... I want to lay a path. 

One of my favourite things... is marmalade on toast.

A few plans for the rest of the week... 1.  Finish this painting  2.  Phone my cousin and have a catch-up 3.  Plant the two japanese maples  4.  Clean the mould off the bathroom ceiling  5.  Go to the boat show on Sunday as part of the 'Night Owls' patrol.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...
