Right now... (an occasional meme, alternating from fourth dimension to fourth dimension amongst "The Current"):
Reading: Trying to complete upward a really interesting book, "The House yesteryear the Lake" yesteryear Thomas Harding. (It outset piqued my curiosity when I saw it inward hardcover terminal year, but I waited to purchase it until the paperback came out before this summer.) Review to come upward inward due course. :) Organizing the schedule & volunteer intelligence leaders for my D.E. Stevenson fan group's intelligence of our adjacent pick, "Five Windows," which (if everything goes according to plan) begins adjacent week. And wondering whether I'm also going to last able to crush inward Margaret Atwood's "Alias Grace" before the novel television miniseries (adapted yesteryear Sarah Polley) begins airing afterward this calendar month on CBC...! (It volition last shown on Netflix inward November.) I gauge I could ever PVR it as well as spotter at a afterward date, after I've finished the book?? (Although I already cause got a backlog on at that topographic point too...!)
Watching: On TV: I genuinely haven't been watching much TV lately, non fifty-fifty Netflix. Mostly CNN/CBC News Network, as well as lots of tribute shows to Diana, Princess of Wales, xx years after her death. Looking forwards to the novel autumn season/return of erstwhile favourites! (Already bored amongst all the American college football game on TV this weekend, lol.)
At the movies: Haven't been to many movies this summertime either. The terminal i nosotros went to, a few weeks ago, was "Logan Lucky," a heist moving-picture demonstrate laid inward West Virginia amongst a NASCAR twist, starring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Riley Keough (Elvis's granddaughter!), as well as Daniel Craig -- aka James Bond, albeit inward a most un-Bondlike role. He's hilarious!
Eating: Not good plenty lately, I think. :p Gallstones maintain to hand me grief, on & off. :( We noticed that dissever pea soup had returned to the bill of fare at the takeout soup counter at the supermarket where nosotros store & frequently larn for tiffin (they cause got slap-up pizza, sandwiches, & other materials every bit good every bit a broad diverseness of soups). Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 certain sign that autumn is upon us!
Drinking: Another sign that autumn is upon us: I come across Pumpkin Spice Lattes are dorsum at Starbucks. To last honest, I solely ever had one, as well as I wasn't quite certain what all the fuss was about. I much prefer the Gingerbread Lattes at Christmastime. ;) I may lodge some other PSL inward the adjacent while, only to come across if at that topographic point was something I missed the outset fourth dimension around. ;) But inward general, my green lodge (tall nonfat English linguistic communication Breakfast tea latte) is only fine amongst me. ;)
Listening: To the soothing voices on CBC Radio One this afternoon (lol).
Wearing: Still inward T-shirts/tank tops, capris & sandals (and shorts, around the house) -- but non certain for how much longer...! :( There is a definite autumn chill inward the air...!
Buying (besides books, lol): Clothes. Not that I REALLY demand many clothes these days (see "Wearing," above...!). I institute a elementary notwithstanding dressy top inward a pretty shade of bluish (also a coordinating pendant necklace & drib earrings) that I thought would last perfect to have on for Nephew #2's fiancee's bridal shower inward January. Even if I uncovering something else I similar amend for that occasion betwixt right away & hence ;) I am certain I volition brand utilisation of this one.
Trying: A novel eatery that opened hither recently, along amongst SIL. It was Italian -- which tin last a minefield for me, amongst my love apple tree allergy :p -- but everything went good -- nutrient & service were both good. We'll last back!
Wondering: Whether I should larn a pedicure adjacent calendar week or concord out until only before our mini-road trip amongst BIL & SIL afterward this month?? (Or both??)
Remembering: Diana, Princess of Wales, xx years after her tragic death. I've been watching a lot of the specials on TV & reliving the memories all over again. What a tragedy. :( And what a credit to her retention her 2 sons are! The thought that immature people don't genuinely know who she was is astonishing to me. Although I gauge it shouldn't be... several years ago, my boss got costless tickets (I afterward went dorsum amongst my visiting mother; I mean value they were to a greater extent than than $20 each) for our squad to the Diana touring exhibit from the Spencer family's Althorp estate, which included many of her dresses AND her spectacular, iconic marriage ceremony dress, amongst its 20+-foot develop (which influenced the fashion of my ain marriage ceremony dress, some 4 years afterward -- voluminous skirt, long train, big puffy sleeves...). My boss (10 years older than me, as well as me only vi months older than Diana) & I stood & gawked at that wearing apparel for a long, long fourth dimension -- spell the younger girls who worked amongst us breezed by, barely giving it a glance. Ahhh, youth...!!
Steeling myself: For the onset of back-to-school photos on Tuesday (although I've genuinely already been seeing them since only after the AUGUST long weekend, from my friends & relatives inward the States...!). I create bask them, upward to a signal -- but dealing amongst the sheer majority of them tin larn to last hard sometimes (depending on my frame of mind).
Loving: Spending fourth dimension amongst the nephews, their partners (wife/fiancee), as well as (of course) the puppy this yesteryear weekend. :)
Feeling: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 piddling wretched that summertime is almost over. :( (Although I create bask the fall, too!)
