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
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
ps. don't forget my little Grow Your Blog Party giveaway - pop over here if you'd like to take part.
Sounds like a lovely day! Think I might just break out the crochet myself now you have inspired me. xx
ReplyDeleteAhh what a lovely post and a nice idea :)
ReplyDeleteSuper post Gilly! A cosy comfy day- what's not to like!
ReplyDeletePretty pretty. We all need a 'me' day every now and then. Right now hubby and I are on a little get away. He indulges my hobbies : )
ReplyDeleteA brilliant me day.

A great post Gilly. I think we had better stay in for a few more days crafting. The weather is not looking good. xxx
ReplyDeleteAn excellent way to spend the day! This evening I will continue hand quilting a beautiful Baltimore quilt, which will be first prize at Abbey Quilters' exhibition in July
ReplyDeleteA wonderful, comforting post, Gilly, like a big virtual hug! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your indulgent, soul-soothing day! :-) Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post, loved it. I am sitting here and trying to catch up with blogs, but you can read a little more about my week on my blog. 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
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I love days like this. I call them my Do a Nothing Days.
ReplyDeleteSally xxx
I love me days......love from me...x !! hahahahaha!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day, Gilly! :o)
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect 'Me Day' !

Here and Now is a fun way to focus on your current status, Gilly. I enjoyed your report. (I'm sipping on a cup of tea on a gray afternoon and planning to do some stitching :) xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post Gilly - the perfect way to spend such a cold icy day - but poor puppies with their legs crossed waiting and waiting . . . . .
ReplyDeleteKeep warm with these hugs, love, Joy xo
Sounds like my kind of day"..........except for the sleet because I love to walk my doggies and couldn't bear to miss out!
ReplyDeleteCath @ its 'n Bobs
Sounds like just the kind of day I need. Glad you had time to your self.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful cozy day!!! Love your pictures too!! :) xo Holly
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful holiday, that water looks so refreshing to me right now.
A lovely day. Jacqui x
ReplyDeleteOh Gilly.. sounds like super day to me!! Hazel x
ReplyDeleteA lovely way to spend some time to yourself! I would be dreaming of that lovely holiday location too!! xx
ReplyDeleteThat 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!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a cosy weekend too :)
Bliss, what else can one say.
ReplyDeleteI'd say you are having a lovely day, stay warm and dream about that beautiful beach.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Meredith
"Me" days are the best....make the most of it!!!!
ReplyDeletexx Shari
Sounds like a rather blissful kinda 'me' day!! What a lovely post!!
ReplyDelete~ I'm having one too...A ME day that is..~ and that's why I'm joining you!
ReplyDeleteLOVE and love some more Green and Blacks coco and chocolate...
Ooh how cute are Ben and Jerry, if they are any thing like my four legged feline friends, they would be best staying by the radiators and keeping cosy....
Soo cold today! Enjoy your lovely day, Gilly....
I'm coming up two years of posting also,,,,and I'm so glad we have blog met!!! hehe..
Love Maria x
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
ReplyDeleteHi 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
ReplyDeleteDorothy
:-)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I like the sound of this "Here and Now" - might join in myself. A Me day sounds good - pure indulgence! x
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day planned. I'm having a slow day today too, some sewing, some baking... Enjoy your 'you day'
ReplyDeleteGilly 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.
ReplyDeleteClare xx
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!
ReplyDeleteGood 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.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes
Daphne
Oh I'm so glad to see you joined in! Your list is lovely!

ReplyDeleteOh this is a lovely post, its a great idea!! I may do this at the weekend :) Sounds like you are having a great Saturday xx
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect day to me! I can't wait to have one of those days :) I think tomorrow I will have a cozy kind of day :)
