15 Marbles

Moments.Musings.Memories. ❤️Gathering little marbles from ordinary days and keeping them for our memory jar. ❤️

  • It’s been one of those days where I needed  some cheering up.So, I scrolled through the photos on my phone to find something that would cheer me up  and I found this photo.

    There are so many things that I love about this photo. We had gone to the shops to get milk and bread and decided to stop at our favorite cafe for coffee . MsAn was hungry so I ordered some breakfast for her as well . 

    She loves placing orders at a  restaurant or cafe now. She also loves the color blue, so she requested her babycino in a blue cup. I  love it that the staff at this particular cafe indulge her – until a few days back, she loved the color orange. As soon as we go up to order, they confirm the color and always bring her drink out in a cup of her choice. 

    On this particular day, they served our food with a little flower garnish! Totally made MsAn’s day. Although she did say very very politely, “Thank you for my flower, but I can’t eat it!” 

    And lastly, this photo was clicked with my Samsung S7 Edge.How awesome is the camera on this phone…Love,love,love it! 

  • Its been two years to the day we got the keys to our home – a much awaited and anticipated moment.

    2 years on, the dust has settled. All the houses on our street are now complete. We still have heaps to do in the house but we are not in a rush. It’s a huge coincidence that today we had to call a plumber in to fix a leak – something that can now be sorted without getting a real estate agent involved. Also, something that we need to sort out and pay for ourselves.

    2 years on, the house is all ours. It no longer has the new house smell and shiny walls. MsAn’s room door is ‘decorated’ and I  use the word loosely , with stickers and MsA’s room has handwritten signs everywhere. Let’s just say the house  looks lived in.

    It doesn’t look like a display home but its a happy home. At the end of a long tiring day, all 4 of us can’t wait to get back home and I suppose that  is the most important thing .

    I love it that the girls still like to call it ‘the new house’ and love it that their excitement is still as it was on the first day. I leave you with pics  of my excited monkeys  on the first day …the first day that the house was officially OURS!

    More later ,

  • Adrak wali chai( ginger tea)  served in Kulhad was the highlight of my otherwise , lazy, mundane Sunday .

    After the busy week we had had, and the tiredness that was brought on by hayfever , we had decided to do absolutely nothing on Sunday .  

    A late brunch of Moong, buttered toast, bacon and chai, followed by vegetating on the couch/ floor, getting up to clean the bathroom , do the laundry , back to the couch and watching mindless television – sums up my Sunday . 

    How was your weekend ? Do share..

    I leave you with a pic of my brunch ..so in love with my ceramic Kulhads! 

    Three posts in a day is a bit of overkill but I had to catch up 🙂
    More next week . .

    Love ~Trish
