here we are then

I finally have a bit of time on my hands, for my first post of 2012! My hours at work are reduced and I hope and desperately pray that I can get some things done. I am a list-maker but I hate looking at lists that have uncrossed items on them. Perhaps I should keep them in my head? The kids are off school and I hope I can get them to be a bit more productive too. Oh, ok since you twist my arm, some to-dos for the next 2 weeks:

go to the park more/have a picnic

review Qur'an

set up a practical, part-time, de-schooling program for my schooled children(!)

work on design portfolio

tutorials tutorials tutorials

help set up a workshop for children on emergency preparation

organise this here space

exercise everyday

take part in this photo scavenger hunt

Of course there are more! But it's always great to throw in some have dones!

We took a walk by the Corniche

and the marina.

I cooked rotis/chapatis! This took me down memory lane. We don't normally eat home-made rotis when we eat Asian food, so it's a big deal. I was inspired by an American friend who made delicious ones recently ma sha Allah.  

And started a knit project AND loving it (thanks to continental knitting and Norwegian purling)! The only thing is, I might end up unraveling this!
