Halloween Movie Night


Friday is the weekend in Dhaka, and on this particular Friday it was also Halloween! I wish I had planned this earlier and decorated the entire house and maybe done some proper Halloween treats. Some our friends had stayed over the night before and some live in the same condo as ours, so a few phone calls later we had ourselves a merry little party! We pretty much dressed up in what we could find in our closets and had a blast painting each others' faces. I made a few snacks - popcorn chicken, caramel popcorn, grilled cheese sandwiches, some candy and wafer sticks. We planned to watch movies so I wanted to make some easy food, that would be easy to cook and easy to eat. More importantly, no washing-up afterwards. It was a great night, and a much needed break after a busy work week for everyone.

So You Think You Can Blog


Chilly winds and bright sun. That is what I woke up to. Its such a gorgeous morning. Sent hubby off to work, fed the dog, had a spot of breakfast myself, and popped right back in bed with old BBC version of Narnia playing on the telly.



Every morning I do a mental list of all things I will get done that day. This usually includes everything from cleaning dog poop to sweeping and mopping and doing loads of laundry, washing dirty dishes, cooking a meal or two, trying to finish whatever novel I am reading at the moment, and doing a bit of art, craft or anything creative. In reality, I get most of the cleaning and cooking done, and hell of a lot of net-surfing and tv-watching.

So lets blog about possibly the most boring days of a person's life!


Today's agenda: READ IN BED!
I got most of the unavoidable work done. The dog can't feed itself, so fed her, changed her water and now she his happily snoozing under my bed. Made myself a cup of tea with plenty of sugar n lemon and now i will pop into bed for the rest of the day and read as much as I can. Got my Books, my Kindle, and a few random mags to flip through if I get too tired of reading!



 Have fun no matter what you are doing today, smile, and be kind!
