This week at "Under the Shade of a Bonsai Tree" (plus don't forget to enter my giveaway!)

Doing: Jewellery making (market stock), finally having our bathroom ensuite finished, seeing the Wiggles in concert (woo!), having my hair hennaed and cut.

Reading: Veronika Decides to Die by Paolo Coelho. Just finished The Death of Bunny Munro by Nick Cave but it got a bit tedious actually. Fairly disappointing.

Cooking: Maple Pecan Cake. Completely delicious and devoured quickly by all the family. Thanks to Stephanie for the recipe and photo!

Listening to: Them Crooked Vultures, The Eagles of Death Metal, PJ Harvey

Watching: The rest of the Flight of the Concords. The Time Travellers Wife (I liked it but not sure I would have if I hadn't read the book)

Buying: Mainly Chrissie presents for family e.g a gorgeous Kiswa bag
