Here & now . . .

Loving . . .

having a ME day . . . a chance just to catch up

Eating . . .

leftovers from last night's dinner for lunch, and a wee sweet treat



Drinking . . .

a steamy mug of Green & Blacks yummy hot chocolate - the boisson du jour on days like these


Wearing . . .  
my comfy clothes, hand-knitted chunky socks and no make-up (eeek . . .)

Feeling . . . 

cosy, warm, happy & blessed

Wanting . . .  
the sleet to stop so the two most-adorable-pups-in-the-world can go out for a walk


Thinking . . .

I'll probably just let them out to run around and play in the muddy back garden instead, 'cos it's icy cold out there and I'd really rather curl up on the sofa and crochet  ; - )

Dreaming . . . 
about our upcoming holiday in the sunshine




and joining in . . . with this lovely idea from Chantille Fleur.


What are you up to here & now ?

'til next time,
xoxo

Hope that holiday is to SA, or where are you going my dear?? I also felt a tinge of wanting a pup after seeing your post on FB, please don't do this to me...... xoxoxo

  15. What a wonderful post Gilly - the perfect way to spend such a cold icy day - but poor puppies with their legs crossed waiting and waiting . . . . .
    Keep warm with these hugs, love, Joy xo

  19. A perfect kind of day, and your weather would suit me fine right now. In the past two weeks there have only been 3 days where the max temp was UNDER 40C. The overnight lows have been as high as 25C. The forecast for next week is much the same. While you are dreaming of sunshine and beaches, I'm dreaming of ice and snow, and while you are wanting the sleet to stop so you can walk your sweet dog, I'm wanting some frosty mornings to walk my two dogs! Its a funny old world.
    Have a wonderful holiday, that water looks so refreshing to me right now.

  20. Oh Gilly.. sounds like super day to me!! Hazel x

  21. A lovely way to spend some time to yourself! I would be dreaming of that lovely holiday location too!! xx

  22. That hound - I can't tell them apart I'm afraid - does look rather wistful. If I try to let the whippets out at the moment they shiver and look at me as if I'm mad ... but they go crazy to be out if it snows, daft dogs!

    Hope you have a cosy weekend too :)

  23. Bliss, what else can one say.

  28. Such a perfect day. I have the occasional day like that too, wearing no make up and taking it easy. We all need a day off life occasionally. xx

  29. Hi Lovely Gilly what a lovely post which made me smile - I have a lot on this weekend, unfortunately most of it work but I am hoping to catch some time for myself. Enjoy yourself Gilly, big hugs to you

  30. I like the sound of this "Here and Now" - might join in myself. A Me day sounds good - pure indulgence! x

  31. Sounds like a lovely day planned. I'm having a slow day today too, some sewing, some baking... Enjoy your 'you day'

  32. Gilly I'm loving the idea of this post, it was a joy to read, hope the pups got out for some fresh air between all the horrible raininess our cats can't be convinced to go out.

  33. A me day is always good for the soul, and yours sounds perfect. I hope you find plenty of sun on your holiday, there's not been much of it here in the UK!

  34. Good Afternoon Gilly, There is nothing like a "Me Day" to recharge the batteries. I love curling up on the sofa to do a little bit of sewing or reading, especially on grey, rainy days. I hope Ben and Jerry managed to go out for a run around the garden. Now, that is something I really like..... Green and Black's Cocoa.... but then I do love all things "chocolate". Are you holiday in the Greek Islands this year..... there was something about the photograph that said "Greek Islands". Where ever it is, I feel sure you will enjoy the sunshine and beaches.
    Best Wishes
    Daphne
