A Quick Update

 The days seem to be sliding past very quickly at the moment and I suddenly discover I haven't even looked at my blog for a couple of days.  

What have I been doing?  Nothing much really!  I have packed my bag for our road trip several times, and have now got it down to a small suitcase and a couple of shopping bags.

The bedroom is almost tidy again after being turned upside down as I organized my packing.  The rain has given way to some sunshine, and the cold evenings are back to being warmer again.

My breakfasts have changed to a Seed Muesli with yoghurt and fresh fruit, as it is nice to have a change sometimes.  

To my quarter cup of rolled oats I add 1 teaspoon each of pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflowers seeds, and flax seeds, and 2 teaspoons of chia seeds as well as two chopped up brazil nuts.  Top it with fresh fruit and a dollop of unsweetened natural live yoghurt and a sprinkle of spice.  



I hope everyone is having a good week.

Cheers,

Margaret.

    1. It is the UNpacking that gets me and all the things that need to be washed!

  6. Enjoy your road trip. F cant wait to see your pictures. (She used to make her own toasted mueslei but a few years ago changed the habit of a lifetime i.e. belief that breakfast is the most important meal and took up 16/8 fasting in an endeavour to stave off meno whatucallit weight gain. She decided then that breakfast had to go but looking at your blog pic had cravings for mueslei fruit and yogburt which doesn't get a look in at lunch and dinner.) xxx Mr T who believes in the see food diet.

    1. Heading down the Waiarapa and then home via Taranaki. Hopefully the weather will be better than today's (it is freezing here!).

    2. Cold here as well. I woke at 4 a.m. and it was 5 degrees - winter temperature. Enjoy your trip.

  8. I sure can understand your being distracted by the upcoming trip. And the hassle of choosing what to pack and what not to pack. Hopefully your weather improves! Take care.

  10. All going good here, we love pumpkins seeds, in fact my daughter roasts them in the oven for us to sometimes snack on, they are suppose to be terribly good for you. Drive safely.

  11. Your breakfast sounds similar to mine, but I soak my seeds, spice, dried fruits and oats in yoghurt overnight.
    Do hope your road trip is a wonderful one for you - you sound well prepared :).
    I am doing a road trip later in the month with a couple of friends.
    Stay safe
    Blessings
