Back to work - hi ho, hi ho

The first day back at work for 2013 has ended and the train is winding it's way home. I'm busy trying to organise 2013 in my diary. I'm using the moleskin monthly diaries again to journal and have the monthly planner to keep everything organized and stop me from having to write everything anew in the next month of the journal.

I'm also making another attempt at reading The Lord of the Rings trilogy as a New Years Resolution/challenge. I'm still debating whether I can claim it as 6 books on my reading list as the version I have is divided into 6 bits... Possibly pushing the envelope a little there.

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2013

The beginning of a New Year.
Its so beautiful in it's optimistic newness and exciting new adventures.

I've been cleaning and organizing in preparation for 2013 and in the process found this old notepad of my grandmothers. I loved the women's silhouette, especially as I have just finished watching Downton Abbey season 3. The price tag was also a trip down memory lane - I had completely forgotten about tuckerbag supermarkets which disappeared as we moved into a supermarket monopoly in Victoria (which is being challenged thankfully).

Now I am off to consider some New Years Resolutions for 2013 and see if I reached any in 2012.
