Been very lazy with posting lately, sorry about that.
Well, my 'inspiring' day wasn't very inspiring at all since I had to get some stuff and didn't actually have much time to think and take in my surroundings, but I do actually feel a little better...a little more creative. Just needed time I suppose.

Still feeling horribly unfit and eugh though. Need to step up the exercise.

I need inspiring. Will do something I used to do a lot more often, on Monday i think. See where it takes me.

ps. I know in the last post I said I had more to say, but, um, I can't remember what it was **blushes**...lost somewhere in the pathways of neurons running through my head. If I ever remember I won't procrasinate and will write it down stright away -promise! :-)

Daddy's home! :-) He's got quite a bit of time off so has spent the past couple of days at home. Reckon he'll pop into work at some point though, he rarely stays away for too long.

Yesterday my dad and I attempted to make "khasta roti" (think thats how you spell it!).....basically a type of chappati. Now you see, there's something about rotis (chappatis), in that in order to be considered a 'proper/good indian girl', you're supposed to be able to cook these things. (at least in my family).

With a little instruction from my dad (he knows the theory since he spent his childhood watching his mother/grandmother make then 3 times a day), and my minimal experience (from my grandma showing me a few times when i've gone to india)...........we made some. And not only that...they were round, and edible!

I'm aware that this sounds very trivial and ridiculous (maybe becuase it is?), but that was actually quite exciting for half a day. Mostly because its started to dawn on me lately that my knowledge of cooking is very limited. I can cook pasta and stuff...and know in theory what to do with meat and all sorts of other things, but I've just never cooked properly on a regular basis from fresh ingredients. When that happens in my house, my mum is generally cooking indian food and wants me out of the kitchen to get out of her way, which is fair enough I suppose.

Don't need to learn everything straight away...I know the basics and could survive if all processed food was suddenly stopped and there was only fresh ingredients, i think. (maybe they should do that for a week or 2 to see how people cope. hmm.)......but would like to learn a bit i think while i'm a layabout student.

wow, that was quite a long post. Haven't even said all I want to say. Will save the rest for tomorrow I think :-) Adieu xx

I don't seem to write as much as I used to. Its not that I don't want to, but it just isn't coming as easily these days. The words and poems just used to flow out naturally, but now when I write, they feel forced, which to me makes them sound forced.

Just a phase or something I'm sure. Maybe need a new perspective. Same thing has happened with my painting. I want to paint but its just not happening. Lack of inspiration or something probably. Guess I've been too focused on other things and people these past couple of months. Hmm.

I don't know.

I ran my dogs instead of walking them today. Only up and down a field, but better than nothing. Really need to get back into shape, feel icky now.

Better food, more exercise needed.

ps. Rain really is very pretty.
