Currently One…

I’ve seen lots of currently posts in blogs and so thought I would share where I’m at currently. I would love to hear your “currently” too.

Outback Expat Currently ...

Having: A lazy day – Starting with coffee, well I “tried” to make a cappuccino, strawberry pop tarts and reading in bed. We have recently started having our food shopping delivered to us from one of the local supermarkets which makes food shopping so much easier but also means we save money as we don’t pick up the random things anymore just because they are cheap. The goods were delivered this morning so I sorted that, put on the washing and resumed my lazy day.

Reading: I finished We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler last night before we went out for dinner which was a very different book to those I’ve read before and I will do a review of it shortly. Today is a reading at home kind of day so I started reading Sleep Tight by Rachel Abbott and I’m already quarter of a way through the book so its a good one!

Watching: Breaking Bad. I didn’t really start watching this show until I moved to Darwin and was filling my time in between job hunting with catching up with tv shows. I then found my job and so it was put on the back burner a bit but recently I’ve had time to watch it some more and am just about at the end of series 3 which is a pain as we don’t have series 4 and 5 yet! This program is a bit wacky at times but I’m enjoying watching it as a bit of a break from my usual shows. The question is what should I watch next when series 3 ends?

Working on: Blog stuff as usual and trying to plan out some posts for the week including a guest post for next month. I’ve also been searching for flights to the UK for Christmas as it’s just about the right time for those flights to go on sale and I want to keep track of the prices. Finally I am working on getting all the forms and documents together that I need for university so I can get myself enrolled this week ready to start at the beginning of March.

Loving: That my friend passed on some of her cookbooks to me yesterday when we met for lunch (that were under her desk at work no less!). I’m really starting to love cooking and learning new recipes where I cook them from scratch. I’ve always been able to cook as my Mum taught me a lot of recipes growing up but as I used to spend several hours a day commuting to work in the UK, I hadn’t really cooked properly for several years as I was living with my parents and my Mum would always make dinner for me (best food ever). I’m finding that cooking is a lot of fun and I love it when a recipe I am trying tastes good and I can add it to my recipe repertoire. I also have a pretty great store cupboard full of ingredients now so when I look for a new recipe I can usually cook it up. I’m looking forward to finding new recipes in my new books and giving them a try.
