June snapshot

It's the middle of winter. Matariki is here and we've passed the winter solstice. I like to imagine that it's a teeny tiny bit lighter each evening, but suspect it's more likely wishful thinking at this early stage. It's just six months til Christmas, if you're into that sort of countdown. Whichever way I look at it, the year is racing by.

Here's a snapshot of June 2018 in the Weka household.

June snapshot

  • Working four days a week is the BEST THING EVER! Three day weekends mean I get ALL the things done at home and productivity during my working week is also supercharged. Why didn't I know about this years ago?? #worklifebalance
  • I've adopted my annual mix and match wardrobe of merino clothing. Layers and layers of warmth.
  • Commuting by train is vastly different to bus travel. I'm still getting used to it.
  • My sourdough starter is hibernating during these cold days. I've revisited some favourite bread recipes instead and have 7 grain loaf whirring in the breadmaker for dinner with leftovers tonight.
  • My Welly on a Plate events are locked and loaded. Roll on August!
  • I love reading but am not managing to read many (any) books these days. I'm enjoying binging on podcasts instead. Here's what on my current playlist:
  • We're binge watching Suits. There are eight seasons and 109 episodes to keep us occupied during winter. At this rate, I might not leave the house until spring arrives.
