I've been concentrating on healthy eating and losing weight lately which has meant some major changes to some of my previous habits. Evenings are still a time when I look for a little after dinner grazing. Instead of trying to deprive myself which I could never sustain I've just changed the types of things I eat. I couldn't have made it this far without crumpets and milo.
My other magic elixir now that the cooler weather is here is my bucket of wool. I love knitting and crochet but only ever partake in these activities in the cooler months. I look forward to the arrival of autumn and nights spent sitting on the couch with a project in hand. Knitting and crochet soothe my soul. I love their rhythmic nature. I've got quite a few projects planned for this season. 
If you want to check out everyone else's magic elixirs pop over to Bug and Pop. Time to get back to my crochet. Perhaps first, a little snack...
Just don't grab the wrong thing and take a big bite out of a goldeny hank of wool instead of one of those crumpets!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh the 1kg value pack tin of milo. You're a woman after my own heart.... which reminds me that I'm currently out of milo and reduced to drinking ovaltine...oh the pain of it all!
ReplyDeleteAlso a big fan of hot milo in winter at night!
ReplyDeleteDrug of choice - Milo straight from the spoon.
ReplyDeletebring on those winter nights
ReplyDeleteKnitting makes me happy. Enjoy your yarn!!
ReplyDeleteI have a new basket of yarn too, I am crocheting away the evenings, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI once visiting someone who had the smallest tin of milo ever....I had never seen such a thing....looked like it from the kiddies playset!
ReplyDeleteGo MILO!
Milo? And I am a big fan of ovaltine. It's what I have for a snack when I get home from work and it's still two hours until dinner. I know it's psychological but the thought of all those vitamins just fills me up.
ReplyDeleteIs Milo the same as Nestle's Quick?
Milo, crumpets and knitting? Hmmmm... sounds like a good diet!
ReplyDelete:)
I agree with the crochet in Winter only! I can't for the life of me crochet in Summer, my friends daughter just had a baby and I am about to start a little beanie for him, but I just couldn't have done it a few weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteI've gotten my knitting out again. Now you've reminded me about the Milo! Must get some of that......ahhhhh.....
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a milo.. In fact, I might be able to hear it calling me now... And crumpets. Ahhh crumpets. Yes, they are great!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your woolly wonders!
Mmm. Crumpets! I love them. Not so good for my waistline though - I love slathering on the butter and the honey a bit too much!
ReplyDeleteOh god. Now I want crumpets with copious amounts of butter and honey!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah - this weather has got me a knitting as well....
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favourites-you can't go past a bit of crumpet and Milo-seriously addictive stuff and yummy too-your bucket of wool looks lovely with all those lovely colours in it.
ReplyDeleteOh ditto on the milo. Sometimes a hot milk one, sometimes a hot water one, and sometimes just straight from the spoon.
