Outside My Window ... another half inch of snow last night to top off last week's snow, which was just beginning to melt.
I am thinking ... how much I appreciate efficient central heating!
From the learning rooms ... snow days for the older girls last week. Angel had to go in on Friday for a mock GCSE exam, and has another this coming Friday.
I am thankful ... we didn't have to travel anywhere when the weather was at its worst, and have been able to enjoy the snow.
From the kitchen ... I have rediscovered my bread machine, which I had got out of the habit of using. I tried pizza dough in it for the first time - Cherub says homemade pizza is "very yummy". Dinner tonight? Cauliflower cheese.
I am wearing ... jeans, red top with floral trim, red hand-knitted socks.
I am creating ... a coat-cardigan for myself and socks for my brother (I gave him the yarn for Christmas with a promise of socks to come). Last week I finished mittens for Angel and Star, and a pair of handwarmers for myself. Mittens for myself are next on the list as soon as I can buy the yarn.
I am going ... to have to venture out to the supermarket this afternoon. I shopped online last week, but left it too late this time.
I am reading ... We Are At War by Simon Garfield. Snippets from World War II diaries, but not as interesting as I expected.
I am hoping ... that we can get back into our normal routine this week, after three weeks of Christmas break and snow days.
I am hearing ... beautiful silence, apart from the whirr of the washing machine. Tevye is at work, the older girls are at school, Cherub is at playgroup, and I have the house to myself for a couple of hours.
Around the house ... girls' bedrooms that look as though a clothes bomb has gone off. Ugh.
One of my favorite things ... the set of Cadfael DVDs I was given for Christmas. I've watched seven episodes so far and have another six to go. When I finish this post I'll be settling down with my knitting to watch the next.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week ... orthodontist's appointment for Star on Wednesday; Cherub's first ever dance class on Thursday (postponed from last week thanks to snow, much to her disappointment); a quiet weekend (I think)
A Picture Thought I Am Sharing ...

That sounds lovely...knitting and Cadfael! Don't you loathe Brother Jerome?
Was that Season Three of Lark Rise to Candleford last night? I see that Season Two is going to be released here on DVD next month - big hint, hint to my family for my birthday!
My Dad loved Cadfael, I've never watched it (hmmm, actually I think my Dad read the books?).
Be safe venturing out to the supermarket; hope's not too snowy for you. It's very slushy here.
p.s. I linked to your foody post in my recent 'Happy Homemaker Monday' post. Hope that's OK.

That was a cozy post! I can picture the snow outside ... Oh, wait, I can see it in the picture. Beautiful!
