She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.

~friday

~if you've been reading my musings for a while, you know it's my favourite day of the week

~my working week finishes at exactly 1.15 on friday afternoon; there's plenty of me-time till i take little one from school at 3.45

~ me- time usually means 'enjoy your little space in the universe';

' make this space really yours', 'inhabit it'

~ but fridays are not only about me; they're about us as well

~ today's me-time was devoted to cleaning the flat so i won't have to do it over the weekend; you see, hubby's on his way ; and we're expecting lots of rain over the weekend

~i'm thinking of inhabiting this place

~ i'm thinking of putting a little Christmas tree up with our handmade ornaments

(too early for us in the season, but this is the last weekend we'll be together till Christmas)

~ i'm thinking of father-son play while i read my book (a great historical novel about the civil war here); i want to finish reading it soon, as i need to start reading 'winter solstice' like i do every year - this will definitely warm things up for me

~i'm thinking of cuddles under my crochet blanket (we actually do that with whatever i've made so far, while i continue crocheting!)

~i'm thinking of sewing our advent calendar

{{{ does that sound like a good plan for a cosy weekend at home? }}}

we took these pictures a little earlier today; little one is the artist behind the last two

~ a roof over my head, even if it's not my first choice as to where I'd rather be

~ sunshine that dries my laundry in half a day

~ a hot water bottle to warm me up while I crochet my blanket
