wintery stuff

the air has turned chilly these last few days

and despite being an eternal worshipper of the sun

i am actually loving the cold and rainy weather!

this is what i have been getting up to lately

and how i am staying warm and sung. 

wearing my gumboot style boots when it's wet

staying in bed for as long as possible (like now)

blasting the heater in the car as much as i like

asking for my morning coffee to be extra hot

wearing socks around the house and to bed 

reacquainting myself with my winter wardrobe

having hot milos (this happens most afternoons)

moving to warmer meals like soup for lunch

lusting over beautiful knits while window shopping

literally not removing my favourite scarf for two days straight

hibernating indoors with movies and no feelings of guilt

feeling the need to bake choc chip biccis and eat 

them straight out of the oven (this is happening today)

wearing earthier tones of blush and lip colour

drinking cups of peppermint tea at night time

taking extra hot showers in the morning
having porridge with brown sugar for breakfast

avoiding bright coloured clothing and opting for black

missing melbourne and my friends there

actually inserting my doona permanently rather than

continuing to use it as a throw occasionally on cooler nights
getting out of bed and jumping straight back in where it's still warm

wearing tights and long sleeves whenever possible

not exercising at all except for netball, which is indoors!

drinking a touch of red wine and half enjoying it

planning a trip to the ski fields of new zealand
having to hang all of my washing up inside because
of the rain and grey skies outside (sorry beth!)
lighting candles and having less lights so it's cosy
eating dark chocolate (this happens regardless of the weather)

burrowing down in bed and listening to the rain
and looking forward to lots of other wintery stuff

like iceskating and hot chocolate drinking and 

buying gorgeous winter woolies out of pure necessity...

time for that hot shower i think!

then off for a hot drink with kb and ng. 

happy saturday all. i hope you're rugged up and staying dry.
