O Inverno já começou há
Por estas bandas há seis meses, ainda não assentamos (o que quer que isso queira dizer...). Aliás, estamos neste momento a preparar-nos para mudar de casa... Estamos a ficar peritos em mudanças, posso dizer-vos!
E apesar de ainda andarmos à procura do nosso cantinho, e de haver alterações e alguns desvios a fazer para realizar o nosso sonho, continuamos a sentir que é aqui que queremos ver a nossa menina a crescer. Mesmo que custe - e custa - estar longe dos nossos, principalmente quando algo corre menos bem e queremos estar lá, nem que seja para dar um abraço apertado.
Também, algures no final de 2017, acabaram os 1001 dias do meu projecto "101 things in 1001 days". E é tão interessante perceber que, neste espaço de tempo, tanta coisa mudou! O "eu" de há 3 anos nem imaginava como ia dar uma grande volta na sua vida...
Muitas coisas para partilhar convosco nos próximos tempos. E, a mais importante, quanto a mim, é que descobri o rumo que quero dar a este blogue. Estou muito entusiasmada! Tanto como quando comecei o meu primeiro blogue.
Mas, para já, deixo-vos aqui o meu balanço destes dias.
A fazer construções com blocos de madeira
A cozinhar (com) pastinacas
A beber chá de gengibre
A ler um e-book pela primeira vez (será que vou ficar fã?)
A procurar pinhas (a melhor acendalha que existe)
A querer estar mais presente por aqui (a ver se é desta)
A olhar para os céus magníficos que os horizontes amplos me proporcionam
A decidir (finalmente) o rumo deste blogue
A desejar sermos escolhidos para a casa que gostaríamos que fosse a nossa próxima
A apreciar o azeite feito com as nossas azeitonas, apanhadas por nós (e pela nossa família e amigos)
A esperar que o meu cabelo perceba que o Outono já passou…
A gostar das “novas” pessoas que nos rodeiam
A sonhar com uma viagem
A adorar ter tido aqui muitos dos nossos amigos na passagem de ano
A ouvir a banda sonora (em português) do Rei Leão (e não, não é por ela, sou mesmo eu que gosto)
A considerar doar grande parte da minha biblioteca
A ver este programa (o único que vale a pena, dentro do género. Quanto a mim, claro)
A pensar em como temos reduzido - a cada nova habitação - o tempo de permanência nas casas que alugamos…
A maravilhar-me com o processo natural da descoberta das palavras, da fala
A precisar de um poncho para a chuva que seja “babywearing friendly”
A questionar o tamanho das habitações, hoje em dia (por comparação com as casas há umas décadas, por exemplo)
A cheirar a lenha a arder
A usar muitas camadas de roupa
A seguir a Anna
A reparar na rapidez com que a nossa menina cresce
A conhecer os limites do nosso concelho, que - numa grande área - são também os do nosso país (e a pensar nisto das fronteiras artificiais)
A admirar os animais selvagens que habitam nas proximidades (já vi lebres, raposas, veados, grifos, perdizes, garças, corvos, além de dezenas de outras espécies de aves que ainda não sei identificar)
A organizar a próxima mudança de casa (seja ela qual for…)
A preparar-me para reduzir, em muito, os nossos bens materiais
A comprar um cabaz semanal de legumes biológicos e de produção local (enquanto não temos os nossos), graças à iniciativa de um amigo
A marcar… nenhum livro físico (ai, ai, …)
A não gostar do gelada que é esta casa
A abrir os armários para “destralhar” (muito na moda)
A sentir um alívio (e felicidade) muito grande por saber que a bebé mais nova da família vai ficar bem (depois de nos ter pregado um susto enorme)
A cobiçar… nadinha de nada
A petiscar chocolate

Aqui têm uma lista em branco para copiarem e preencherem, se quiserem experimentar!

Winter has begun a few days weeks ago... The funny thing is that the beginning of the rain and cold season (theoretically), it’s also the beginning of the bigger days. Although slowly, it's good to see that each afternoon lasts a little longer than the previous one. And we (still) have more time to go outside!
Around here for six months, and we haven't yet settled (whatever that means...). By the way, we're currently preparing to move again... We're getting experts in changes; I tell you!
We are still looking for our special place, and there are some changes and deviations to do in order to fulfil our dream. But we still feel that this is where we want to see our baby girl grow. Even if it costs - and costs - to be far from ours, especially when something goes wrong and we want to be there, even if it's only to give a big hug.
In addiction, somewhere in late 2017, the 1001 days of my "101 things in 1001 days" project ended. And it's so interesting to realize that, in this space of time, so much has changed! 3 years ago, I would never imagined that I would be what I am today...
Many things to share with you in the time ahead. And the most important thing for me is that I found the direction to this blog. I'm very excited! As much as when I started my first blog.
But for now, I leave here my taking stock of these days.
Making wooden block constructions
Cooking (with) parsnips
Drinking ginger tea
Reading an eBook for the first time (will I become a fan?)
Trawling for pine cones (the best lighter that exists)
Wanting to be more present around here (it will happen)
Looking at the magnificent skies that vast horizons provide me
Deciding (finally) the direction of this blog
Wishing that we will be the ones chosen for the house that we want to be our next
Enjoying the olive oil made with our olives, picked up by us (and by our family and friends)
Waiting that my hair realizes that autumn it’s gone...
Liking the "new" people around us
Wondering about a trip
Loving to have received many of our friends for the New Year's Eve
Listening to the Lion King’s soundtrack (in Portuguese). And no, it's not for her, it's really me…
Considering donating a large part of my library
Watching this program (the only one worthwhile, within the genre. In my opinion, of course)
Thinking about how we have reduced - with each new move - the time we stay in the houses we lived in...
Marvelling at the natural process of discovering the words, the speech
Needing a rain poncho baby wearing friendly
Questioning the size of the houses, nowadays (by comparison with the houses decades ago, for example)
Smelling wood burning
Wearing many layers of clothing
Following Anna
Noticing how fast our girl grows
Knowing the limits of our county, which - in a large area - are the same of our country (and thinking about the artificial borders)
Admiring the wild animals that live nearby (I've seen hares, foxes, deer, griffins, partridges, herons, crows, as well as dozens of other species of birds I still can’t identify)
Organizing the next house move (whatever it may be...)
Preparing to highly reduce our material possessions
Buying a weekly basket of organic and local vegetables (while we don’t have ours) thanks to a friend’s initiative
Bookmarking… no physical book (alas, alas, ...)
Disliking how cold this house is
Opening the cabinets for declutter (very trendy)
Feeling a great relief (and happiness) to know that the youngest baby in the family will be fine (after we've had a big fright)
Coveting nothing at all
Snacking chocolate
Cooking (with) parsnips
Drinking ginger tea
Reading an eBook for the first time (will I become a fan?)
Trawling for pine cones (the best lighter that exists)
