Reading, Shopping And Two valuable Photos

 

We are still having slightly cool temperatures from midnight to till early morning that are from 13 to 33c . Days have got quite longer i must say but still shorter to finish chores and due jobs.I try so hard to meet all the target i set for my day after rising but i miss something when day ends. After recovering from my short backache i have changed my yoga steps and following the exercise only that helped me to recover .It takes half time than previous one which i try to add in my reading time though because i am slow reader so i hardly read twenty pages in one hour at average. Once i hold book in my hand it hurts to put it back and get up to do anything else and this was the reason i could not read for long because i knew how badly i am into reading and i hate leaving it abruptly .But i am glad i could restart my reading once again because this is one of those things in my life that are really close to my heart and deliver true peace of mind. Reading now days "How The Mind Works" by  Steven Pinker an American cognitive scientist who tried to explain poorly understood function of how human mind works as computing machine and as consciousness. Enjoying thoroughly the easy and simple way of writer .One thing that seems so clear that human mind is most miraculous thing in the whole universe. An engine of our body who runs the body .The more we understand it the better we can use it for our benefits .



can anyone guide me how to add recent read section at sidebar because i tried to find how but couldn't

  if you remember i had mentioned that my younger sister has sent her elder children by her first husband to their father after thirteen years, they have wealthy father and studying at best academies now and living better life by the grace of God! they spent winter one month of their vacation  for the with their mom (my sister) she shared this family photo taken on the third birthday of my youngest niece holding by her father in orange ,on left second is elder son of my sister and on right is my eldest niece ,child in the lap of my sister is niece of her husband so is the right most  


   On Sunday we went to Sukkur for little shopping ,as you know i gifted some necessary things to our elder son living in Karachi for studies so we were lacking some things .Bought this pretty blue blanket ,prices of everything seems to jump so high and out of reach

 after buying very expensive blanket of full king size bed ,i quiet the idea to buy whole set of 12 plates so bought four only

                                                   blue is fav so another glimpse please 

my younger son has been breaking most of glass crockery glasses particularly during washing them ,it scares me when he offers help for dishwashing now,so for bought set of steel glasses as well and above  on left is pail a thing necessary in home 


   one of my cousin name Rukhsana pet name nano sent me her old  photograph ,i have mentioned nano in many of my old posts ,she was most clever ,most beautiful and always leader to our gang ,no need to say i was most stupid of all .many many years ago when i visited her on her invitation i praised this photograph so much because it was typical photo of married couple taken when they were newly married,i had no such photo though many others but not that particular one . okay friends it is 1:30 pm almost .

Keep being kind to yourself and to all around you ! blessings to all of you!!!

    1. My cousin had unsurpassed beauty in the village in her youth indeed. She is my age and has put on some weight but still her features are stunning.
      My sister was quite sad after hanging her elder kids to their father. They live with their father and his second wife and step siblings in upper northern Pakistan. Unlike rest of the country upper northern school close in January for winter break for two months so they came to spend one month with their mom. My sister was so happy to have them

  5. Always good to shop and buy things. Like your plates and if a family member kept breaking accidently of course my glasses I would by similar to what you bought.
    The main reason I don't read much is because I can't put that interesting book down and nothing or no one can get a word out of me.
    Lovely photos. Don't know how to add 'recently read' have googled it but haven't found as yet.

  8. Thanks dear Marie
    My youngest son has kind and helpful nature so sometimes specially when we have guests and lots of crystal glasses and crockery is used my son gather dishes and take to the kitchen and wash them but often at the cost of a cup or glass once in a while which made us shop steel glass this time. We bought crystal glass as well that day but I forget to take picture

  11. I enjoyed the family pictures, Baili. I had to laugh at the steel glasses ~ At least your middle son is trying! The way I added the books I was reading to my blog was to go to my blog posts list page and click on layout in the column on the list. Then I scrolled down the options that opened up on the right to sidebar-right-1. There should be an option that says "Add a gadget." Click on that. Scroll down to "List." Click on that. You should get a box that says "Configure Text List." Then fill it out as you want. Be sure to click on "save." When I exit that box, I always click on the floppy disc image in the lower right to save again. I had to play around with this before I got comfortable with it. I hope this helps! Hugs to you!

    1. My kind precious friend Louise thank you so much for sharing how you add your books to sidebar. I will try, let's see if I can thanks again my lovely friend you are exceptionally generous!

    2. Dear Louise. I tried but when box of configuration appears I can not type the name of the books because line shown there says "numbers of items to show in the list"???

    3. Hi, Baili!
      Under the line where it says "number of items to show in the list, there should be a faint line saying "Leave blank to show all items. I leave the line blank because I'm not sure how long my list will be.

      Scroll down to sorting. There are three choices: Don't sort, sort alphabetically, and sort reverse alphabetically. I chose "Don't sort" because I like to list my books in the order I read them.

      After that comes "Text List." Click on "Add a New Item." A line should appear where you can type in the book and author or however you want to set it up. Just start typing on your keyboard on your computer. Once you've typed in what you want, save it.

      When you have more than two items you can change their order by using the up and down arrows (If you want to.). The pencil icon is if you want to edit something. And the trash bin is for discarding something.

      When you're satisfied save it. I do a second save by clicking on the floppy disk icon to the right of the eye in the lower right hand side of the page..

      I hope this helps! I had to practice a few times to get the hang of it.

  12. Enjoyed reading this. Also the photos you put up. Yes the price of everything is climbing so high. I don't know about there but just a dozen eggs has easily doubled or tripled in price.
