THE DIARY GAME : 13/08/2020 | 12th diary entry

Hello lovely people,

Brace yourself Friday is coming, haha. Today is Thursday and the weekend is near. Ahh, I have said it several times and I am saying it again that I really miss pre-COVID days, where we used to wait for weekends. Anyways, I woke up at my regular time that is 8.30 am.

I opened my curtain blinds and enjoyed a view from my window and took a moment to appreciate all the things around me. I performed all my morning rituals. I spent a little more time in the shower today as I was using a body scrub which I bought from a local shop on my trip to Bali, again it's an organic body scrub which I really like. Oh, what a beautiful place Bali is, all its locations are surreal which makes you fall in love with it.

Then I was working on my designs and illustrations. It was afternoon and I headed to the kitchen to make lunch. I prepared a cauliflower dish which is called 'Gobhi mussalam', it means the whole cauliflower. It is cooked without cutting the vegetable, first I boiled cauliflower and stuffed it with tangy chutney and marinated it in curd and spices and prepared gravy in another pan, then poured the gravy on the cauliflower and the whole thing was baked in the oven. It's a time taking recipe with much effort.

I continued with my work after having dinner. I started stitching my blouse which I cut the other day. Before starting the stitching I had to oil my machine as it was not in use for quite some time. I fixed some settings and it was ready to run, and I started working with my blouse.

It was evening and I took a break from my machine and made myself my evening tea. Then I did my pilates. That blouse needs some hand stitching also so I did what was needed.

I watched TV for some time and then prepared my dinner. After having dinner I continued reading my favorite book by the side of an electric essential oil diffuser lamp. I used Jasmine essential oil.

Tonight I listened to binaural beats for some time before sleeping and I must say it really relaxed me and I am looking forward to it.

I hope you all had a great day too, Thanks for reading my diary.

This is me.
