Happy Friday...

I recently bought some wonderfully inexpensive kilner style jars from IKEA and yesterday got an indecent amount of pleasure from emptying bags of beans, cous cous, pasta & lentils into them. My larder is now an oasis of order and calm. No more random bags, tied with elastic bags. No more rooting around blindly for those linseeds I'm sure I had...ah the simple pleasures

Yesterday was a funny day, the day after my birthday and somewhat anti-climactic, but I actually got a lot done. Finally worked out how to export tasks from my mind-mapping programme to outlook, so now I have a 'real' to do list; no more forgotten tasks.

Today I'm working on my website (soon to be launched, watch this space) studying for my final exam at the end of the month (eeek) and doing some preparatory reading for the literature review. I'm really glad that I've started early, focused and ready to get stuck in. With any luck I'll get it all done and spend the afternoon baking (banana bread) and preparing dinner, chicken, chorizo & cannellini bean (inspired by my larder clear out) stew. Yum.
