Happy Bonfire Night!
Day 4 and I 've made things a little cosier on my end. I'm wrapped in a duvet, typing on my laptop from the sofa instead of sitting on the uncomfortable computer chair. The weather has suddenly dropped so cold here and I'm fighting the urge to turn on the heating. Brrrrrrrrrr!
Ok. First things first!
Day 4: Something you have to forgive someone for.
Again, this is a hard one for me to answer, main reason being, I like to hold a grudge. It's the only part of my inner drama queen I let out. But I suppose, for the sake of my blog I'll admit to being petty and accept that perhaps I could have let a certain person off the hook a while ago... not that I'm going to!
I need to forgive my sister for taking my clothes when I was living at home. Its probably typical sibling stuff really but to me, at the time, it was awful. My younger sister was always slimmer, more popular and more confident than I was but for some reason she could not stop taking my stuff. I could go shopping on a Saturday to buy a dress to wear for a party that night, get home, hang it in my wardrobe, jump in the shower and by the time I got back to my room my sister would have been in there, taken the dress and set off, for a party of her own, wearing it. The reason it hurt so much was that I felt like I couldn't have anything. My then-boyfriend bought me some rings for an anniversary, I put them away in my (locked) jewellery box and found them a week later in my sister's room, scratched to hell. I felt like I was being robbed and explaining that to her made no difference.
I need to forgive her for several reasons, not least because its been years since I lived at home with her. Although it was almost traumatic for me at the time I accept that its a natural part of sisterhood and living in a family home. Whatever the reason for her taking my clothes, she's my little sister, I love her, and I guess I can accept that holding onto something as small as this isn't worth it in the grand scheme of things.
Dinner: 04/11/10.
Last night I made Baked Polenta with Tomatoes & Mozzarella and Sweetcorn Pancakes with Tomato Chutney. I was disappointed with the polenta. I've been wanting to try it for years and it just wasn't what I expected. I giggled over the Boy's inability to eat the baked tomatoes in the Polenta dish but his love of the tomato chutney in the other one. I don't get fussy eaters! I tried taking photos but the nights are closing in now and I'm still working on the best combination of artificial lighting.
