Project 365 2016: Week 4!

Hello!

This post is a day old but my internet has been a total bitch this last week. Working haltingly and then not at all. Also I was in a terrible mood yesterday and didn't feel like blogging on a day when I wasn't feeling the best. So this weekly recap comes a day late.

This was a decent week.

Colours.

My parent's wedding anniversary.

Yum food.

Lots of colouring.

The end of January.

Let's see what I got upto this week.

Day 22 of 366: Roses! A bouquet of red roses at home from family friends. I love having fresh flowers at home.

Day 23 of 366: Pages, rather pages of my ebook. Process is messy. :)

The page is from Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon.

Day 24 of 366: Kismi Toffee! Remember these? I love these elaichi flavoured delights. And of course they remind of my childhood and how much I used to look forward to these treats.

Day 25 of 366: This has been a week of colouring and finding it endlessly relaxing and soothing. Love it so much. I highly recommend getting a nice colouring book, playing some music and just ignoring the rest of the world.

Day 26 of 366: Dried flowers stuck in my journal.

I want to put some leaves, flowers and wildflowers in my journal this year. Take a nature walk and collect samples and stick them in my journal. This is just a little beginning.

Day 27 of 366: A tall glass of cold coffee. A caramel iced-coffee is so good for the soul. I've always enjoyed the coffee at McDonalds. Especially the McCafe range.

Day 28 of 366: Raat ki Raani.

Frangrant. Heady. Simple and so innately Indian. :)

Plot Summary: Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends.
