Adorbs
Hmm
Explosions don't kill him, he's a bumbling agent who is lucky enough to just survive by a hair breadth and I don't know what to say except I don't much enjoy bond movies and in fact if it keeps going on like this they'll soon merge with the fast and furious franchise.
However this new movie has a stellar casting credit! The entire couple minute long piece of casting is done better than the entire movie.
Hollow
Ice cream yes
Done
The director I believe was the same as 'blade runner 2049' and he has this way of making bleakness look spectacular on a grand canvas.
The movie might have been 10 hours long but each minute an enthralling extravaganza which is impossible to look away from.
I loved it, oh I loved it absolutely and enjoyed every moment of it.
I am wondering if I shouldn't give those novels a look see now.

Yes that's right, cuz of you..

As it goes and then it does
There’s smoothie too
And now
Morning shopping
I don't know why it is but I have started feeling extra hungry these mornings.

Agitate imperative
To think I started the day on a nice note and now for some reason I feel like getting in a fight.
Ugh!
Let's see I was going to make someone feel better but instead I got rubbed off the wrong way and somehow that sickness is smeared all over me now.
Not that it was the intention I'm guessing but I'm always an eager ear to listen to aches and pains if there be and totally there to 'empathize', but somewhere in that labyrinthine emotion of listening to half hearted ramblings I begin feeling if there is even some intention to talk or say anything?
I mean I'm here to listen but I don't like to stay sitting looking at someone not interested in either talking or hurting.
I'm not selfish, most certainly not and in fact I want to be a helpful listener instead of being a bored tourist on the screen!
I'm not one for incumbent talks, there's nothing mandatory between us and I'd rather have you tell me that you're too out of it to talk and that you want to maybe just listen or actually talk to me, tell me everything you're feeling in a way that doesn't make me feel like I'm an obligation.
I hate feeling like a furniture in a room that has to be dealt with or just be with.
I think we have our spouses to fulfill that duty.

True romance
Tell me
Filthier things
each time
when we liaison
Through wires and WiFi
That make my heart
Bloom with blood
And weep with shame
New schedule
when cats fight
But my babies
Are fast asleep
Sigh winds
on a window
of someone else's house
drawing curtains
almost shocked myself
To see someone
Looks exactly like me
So terribly alone
When it was
In fact my reflection
Solemn in its duty
Jaded in her actions
how can pulling curtains
Look so painful?
And now
Deseeding pomegranates while listening to Bloody nine's carnage!
epidermal fuss
There isn't enough cream in this world to keep me moisturized in winters.
Come winters and I start flaking away. It's a constant need and want to keep my hands, face and feet moisturized. My hands feel paper-like and I have to continuously keep applying a thick moisturiser.
It's come to a point where I'm actually going to start keeping pump bottles of moisturiser or thick lotions in all my rooms and bathrooms and especially inside the kitchen.
Each time I wash my hands my skin begins to feel stretchy and annoyingly dry and I'm nothing short of embalming myself.
My skincare routine has suddenly gotten complicated too. It's like one thing after another after another. and even then I find my skin underneath all the lotions cracking up. I\m telling you this is some next level dryness I feel.

Updates
In the backyard
With a mug of tea
Wondering if I should clean up a bit but seeing how trees are shedding I don't think that's a good idea and anyways looks like I might get a bit busy.
My neighbour from previous compound, the one who abandoned her cat is coming over to see the said cat and meet him and what not.
I don't think it'll be a long meeting but she will arrive at 13:00 and I don't think she'll be here for long.
Anyways I want to finish my workout and my lunch before that.
Here's hoping!

Now then
Meera got his rabies shot much to his chagrin and that's a lot of important work done.
It was being put off for a while but it's fine how and I'll glad for it.
The weather is gorgeous.
There was a bit of shopping that got done and now for some dinner that will be had outside because the prospect of eating 'sambhar chawal' and not pizza for dinner is putting off to some people!
Sighs.
The one week I don't make pizza!
What happened?
I've dined and wined In the sense proper after having eaten enough and drinking two limoncellos after dinner that is after finishing a beer before dinner!
It's by no means a lot since the limoncellos are served as a digestif and one gets perhaps about 20 mls but by the heavens it's potent and I'm not drunk but my face is red and my soul is glowing.

In the shine
I have been extremely productive, not least because the weather is stunningly gorgeous!
Absolutely the best autumnal weather there should be.
No rains, no overcast skies, just bright sun and cool wind.
I have taken the opportunity accorded today to sun all the duvets and their covers.
This had me scrambling the entire part of the morning and I'm thankful that that housekeeper took care of my house in the background as I shuffled between floors.
Ah! It's a bright gorgeous day!how should I make the most of it?
Maybe I'll go to a nearby park!
Maybe I'll ride around on my scooter.
Even sitting in my backyard feels lovely, which is what I'm doing .
The birds are twittering at full throttle and I can't imagine how many birds are actually perched above me as my bright white duvets sun outside!

Important
Munday
Just finished stuffing a duvet into its cover. The duvet I showed light today.
The duvet that is a bit heavy for this weather.
Tomorrow I repeat with the lighter ones.
Sans Celluloid
I'm gonna pre book my tickets for everything.
Let's see, there's tomorrow's war, dune and 007 as far as I can see.
Maybe there will be more in between but currently these are the movies slated for release.
Finally!
The last movie I watched in theatre was fast and furious 9, was it? I guess yeah. Since then it's been a dry spell.
There's political agenda and pandemic agencies behind this mess but I hope the fog lifts and things resumes again.
Here's hoping!
To do
After my workout maybe I want to go out on my scooter and just ride for a bit!
The weather is stupendous! It's bright and sunny and light. Deliciously windy, cooler than autumn but the breeze is refreshing and not hurting my face with its unyielding coldness.
I think I'll check out the teppanyaki restaurant nearby and maybe even buy some groceries.
And sit out in the park and just be.
I need comforting.
Friday is it you finally
Morning day

This to today
Aha! About time
Plants not in motion
About to a spend my workout time arranging clothes because my muscle pull ain't gonna have me stretching and lifting weights for today's power yoga work out.
And to think I'd planned a 30 minute circuit too.
Things like these get on my nerves.
What compelled me to stretch the way I'd did this morning is beyond me, but it's upsetting me now.
In the busy pursuit of mundane
It's a spasm apparently and it happened in the early hours, moments before waking up when in my sleep I stretched to the right side and pulled myself back in a way that my left side felt almost cramped and now even breathing hurts!
Granted it was a lot worse in the first hour of the morning when every step made me cry in agony.
I must say it was a tad dramatic because everyone got worried.
Once I resumed my usual activities and kept crying intermittently what with the pain and all it got slightly better!
Today!
Ah what a malevolent start to an otherwise benign Thursday!
I will do a bit of tea in a while with a piece of toast and if my spasm feels better then power yoga it is for today!
Also there are winter clothing that need to be brought out and summer clothes that have to be archived for a while.
Also need to get out a thicker duvet cuz the current blankets aren't much help!
I think I felt a bit chilly under my thin blanket last night and it's time for the bigger guns if not the cavalry yet!

Aha
And scene
Twinky thots
Bipolar ears
As I transitioned from classical to more daylight music I found myself going for the lofi jazz option. Something about this rainy wet cold weather that makes me crave warmth and sunshine, and somehow synth wave has a tang of steeliness to it and perhaps not what I want resonating with my mood right now.
Just as I was typing this I switched over to black mill because my mood seems to be all over the place.
I think I'm going to listen to a bit of Metallica's unforgiven after this.

Nighttime misses
The head begins to tire
My heart hears a flutter
Evolving from somewhere
Behind my spine
through my toes
peaking into a smile
upon my lips
zinger snap
Say one thing about my mood say it's pretty annoyed
I am currently in the process of selecting pics for the recipe book and sending them to the graphic designer while I type the recipes and he betters the pictures and I am amazed how bad some photographs are looking to me. It's deeply upsetting also because at that moment perhaps these photos seemed fine.
And now I want to re-click these pictures again after I have actually finished clicking all the pics. here is another set of photos I need to take again.
What was I thinking that time?
These look so off.
I am upset. I am angry and I am irritated.
Gluten heart
Oh yes
Morning comes and tea happens
Tues..
My water hot
My jacket blue

Agenda
Yes, today is typing a whole lot of recipes.
I'm wondering if I can't start working out in my backyard now!

The days zoomed
Finally sitting down with a cup of coffee because it's only now that I've been able to take a breather.
Today got out of hand what with some people coming over at a time when it was too late for lunch and too early for tea and so coffee it was with some home made brownies, bread and a side of baked pasta in tomato sauce.
Not quite a meal not exactly snacks .
This kept me extra busy since morning and phew!
My meals today have been haphazard at best.
Also ended up putting a lot of large plants and what not indoors cuz it's gotten cold enough to kill some of these tropical plants.
The weather has turned and I might have to start wearing socks indoors .
Something in the way
It's got too many people in it!
I don't like The new batman! And why has he been made to look like a Rasmus reject? I mean what's with the green day makeup?
But you never know! Maybe he'll shine and hang himself upside down and become the ultra awesome batman!
Somehow calling himself 'vengeance' doesn't go down with his demeanour.
:( I'm tying to be extremely optimistic about this. However I'm into the new age handling of this book. Live streaming murder?! Yes please.

forekact
How does it go from feeling like a swamp to suddenly needing a light jacket? Not denim jacket, not flannel shirts but a light jacket.

Too full
Bulimia, come to me.
Saviour complex
Not because I have some sort of renewed love for ugly amphibian life forms but because I do not want to see a half dead frog with its entrails hanging out trying to crawl in my backyard, smearing the floor with streaks of blood and other goo.
No I can't have that.
Just yesterday I had to euthanise two praying mantises. Poor virgins!
Because one of my cats 'twinkle' thought it fun to play with the poor things and ripped them apart in a way that their girlfriends wouldn't dream of.
It was most gross!
New day old stuff
The humidity persists, nay, stays in suspended animation all around and inside the house.
Once again I have to deal with the damp smell and need to wash all the cushion covers and throws.
But the problem is there is no sun out, it's raining and overcast and so showing it some light is out of question.
I have to use the drier to dry them and it doesn't feel the same anymore with the drier.
I love how fresh the clothes feel after a nice bit of sunning.
I don't know why the weather changed from a day of pleasant autumnal cold to late summer moisture laden wetness!
I mean haven't I already dealt with this weather a couple months ago? Once again I'm burning camphor to refresh the house. The only difference this time is that the temperatures are not as high and so I'm not sitting and getting steamed like earlier.
This is hardly a saving grace.
It's Friday and I'm already complaining!
Well, today packs a punch.
There's a lot to do.
Uploading a new food blog and getting on with rets of the typing of recipes.
I am almost there with the book.
I guess I'd say I'm about 60% done.
Right then!
Away we go!
Thursday, 14 October 2021
Update
Lunch done, cats fed, house cleaned (again) laundry done and now I go on to make a cake which is a walnut and fig cake with a butterscotch sauce.
Once this is done then we go ahead and prep for dinner.
Dinner is going to be shahi paneer, pulao, chapaati, raita and I think that is about it.
Okay then! M
Listening to myself
Today's agenda includes baking a cake.
Making paneer and cooking up a feast.
The only flip side to today is that it's raining and it's humid and almost feels like a swamp.
The insides of my house are so damp I don't understand how to mop my floors that are still sort of moist from yesterday.
The foot and slipper prints on the tiles and wooden flooring is making me want to burn some sort of fire in the house to suck away the moisture because my dehumidifier can't cope up.
It keeps filling up every couple hours with water which just goes on to show how extra humid it is.
My bedroom, which is my sanctity is also suffering from a similar fate and nighttime's are not my favourites because it's both cold and wet.
I've not even bothered to step into my backyard to sweep away the leaves because I know it's going to be such a pain because the rains are making the trees shed extra and I don't have the drive in me currently to jazz up everything.
The house is clean.
All the fans are on full.
Oils are burning, reeds are diffusing and candles are lit.
What else am I supposed to do?

And it winds down
In other news today was hectic, wet and extremely silly.
My friend ruined the surprise and then tried to cover it up.
Tomorrow looks to be very okay
My dear friends
I've not even had tea.
Not bathed and she's about to come.
I was planning to go to a certain place which has a lot of designer shops and boutique stores to buy a present and my friend suggested she accompany me and we spend the day together cuz it's been a while since we met.
I mean I am in no mood to make breakfast or anything.
I'll probably just give some coffee or tea and lunch will be in the local noodle shop cuz I can't be bothered to do anything.
I mean how does one just come to someone's house at 10?
Gah tearing out my hair that are frizzy
I don't know how does this happen?
Yesterday people were stepping out in denim jackets and overnight it suddenly turned so wet and icky humid that the floors of my house, the tiles and even the railings feel wet to the touch.
I mean this is humidity central.
I don't know how weather can be so exceedingly topsy turvy!
I have turned all the dehumidifiers but I doubt they'll make a dent.
What I need is an industrial sized dehumidifier.
My house has been mopped but it's not drying and there are footprints being made all over.
I simply do not like this.
Just yesterday I mentioned the cool almost cold wind and suddenly it's gotten so extremely damp and airless that I can't begin to fathom the nature of this totally shitty weather and why it won't just give us a break and dry up a little so I can stop feeling like I'm constantly submerged in something lukewarm!
