Photo an hour challenge

I had a free Sunday this weekend, so I decided to take on the photo an hour challenge. I woke up at around 8:30 in the morning and started the day.

8:45 am: 

My day always starts with a steaming cup of chai to get my nerves going. 

9:45 am

I sat down to do the week's Guardian Quick Crossword to start the day.

10:45am

I had bought some zucchini and sugar snap peas from the market the previous day.  I looked up a few recipes for vegetarian pasta, on the internet. I got started off with the recipe I had chosen. I enjoyed cooking lunch today with Bollywood music playing in the background.

11:45am

Mmm... the pasta smelled really good! I couldn't wait to start with lunch. I came across a bottle of pomegranate wine at the market and wanted to try it out. So I settled on my couch with a plate of hot pasta and a glass of wine.

12:45pm

I had started a new 1000 piece puzzle this week. It was time to spend some time working on it.

1:45pm

I have a trip to Cancun coming up in December. I had to spend some time in researching what to do in Cancun and plan the trip. So it was time to open up my Macbook.

2:45pm

After spending a solid hour in reading reviews, looking at routes and planning day trips, it was time to relax. I had bought a 6 piece bath bomb pack a while ago. I hadn't used one of them in some time, so now was the time. I prepared the bath and lighted up a citronella scented candle to create an aroma.

3:45pm

I had started reading "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett, and wanted to finish a couple of chapters today. 

4:45pm

After reading for about an hour, I was hungry and wanted a snack. I had some cookies from my trip to Hawaii. I made some detox tea to pair with the cookies.

5:45pm

Winter was here. Sunsets happened at 5pm, so evening walks became more difficult. But today was not too cold and pleasant enough for a walk along my street.

6:45pm

It was time for being a couch potato and watching some TV. I watched a documentary about wine sommeliers and what it takes to become a sommelier. I learnt that becoming a wine connoisseur is not an easy job. There were 3 tests to take, a theory test, a wine tasting test and a wine serving test. 

7:45pm

Start blogging about the photo an hour challenge!!

And there ends my 12 hour day. The rest of the night, I would probably spend by continuing to read "The Help", till I drift into sleep. I enjoyed doing this challenge, it was a lot of fun and an interesting experience. It kept me motivated to actually do something with my day time, instead of whiling away looking at social networking sites.
