How I like to spend Sundays

As far as Sundays go, yesterday was a pretty good one.

I jolted awake super early and disorientated (perhaps I had been dreaming), and Jack - still asleep mind you - laughed and said, "Yes." He talks in his sleep sometimes. I get a real kick out of it.

Anyway, I went back to sleep and woke up at 10.30am, much more refreshed. Downstairs, Jack made me a cup of tea and then we had pain au chocolats for breakfast (because we're fancy), and after watching Nigella, I went to have a shower and then changed into a fresh pair of pyjama bottoms and an old baggy t-shirt. Sunday is a day of REST, okay? I had no choice.

Back downstairs, I removed my super dark purple nail polish and replaced it with a slightly lighter shade of purple nail polish whilst watching Christmas cooking shows on the Food Network channel. After that, I lit a candle and we watched The Nightmare Before Christmas followed by The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, because they are Christmassy without being overtly Christmassy, if you know what I mean. I don't like to crack out things like Elf or The Grinch until December is upon us. 

We ate leftover lasagna for tea, and then I caught up with Sophie who made me get Whatsapp and introduced me to the 21st Century. We chilled out for a bit before Jack went home, and then I wrote 2,000 words for NaNoWriMo whilst listening to Third Eye Blind (who have reinstated themselves as one of my favourite bands).

Yeah. A good day. I like to remember the good days.

Song of the Day: The Background by Third Eye Blind (The plans I make still have you in them 'cause you come swimming into view/And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do/ The words they use so lightly I only feel for you/ I only know because I carry you around in the background)

Currently reading: The Invisible Library still. I keep stopping and starting.




T.G.I.S

I love Saturdays. Today, I had the chance to have a big tidy in my room; Jack and I went food shopping; I had a sing and a dance in the kitchen to this while Jack cooked us some lunch; I had a much needed chat with my mum, and now me and Jack are hanging out in our onesises watching The Office. Bliss.

Honestly I've had a terrible, stressful week at work and I don't think I've ever been as happy for the weekend to roll around as I was yesterday. I don't think you appreciate days off until you really feel like you've earned them, and I've really, really earned this one.

Enjoy your weekends guys!

Today...

...is a day for anxious Wimbledon watching.



Come on Roger! Or Novak! I don't really know who I'd rather win, I like them both. It's very confusing.

I went to see How To Train Your Dragon 2 yesterday with Jack, and it was so good. Not quite as funny as the first one, but it's a really heartfelt story, lots of adult emotions in it. I think it's more for grown-ups than kids.

All in all, a good weekend so far.

Quiet Sundays



Two things today on this lazy Sunday. One, I have the most adorable new bunny slippers from Next. And two, my hair grows so fast. I think it's time for another trim.

Hope everyone's been enjoying their weekend. Mine has been quiet, just how I like them :)

Happy Weekends

I had such a good weekend. I didn't do a great deal, but when you work every weekend, the occasional ones you do get off are appreciated that much more. On Saturday I just did a bit of shopping, played some video games and then watched Harry Potter movies 3-5. On Sunday I was taken out to a local pub for a lovely Sunday lunch followed by a couple of drinks in front of the fireplace. Then more video games and the rest of the Harry Potter movies to round off my weekend. So good. 

Anyway, after a clear and sunny (albeit incredibly cold) weekend, it's now grey and windy and raining and pretty horrible to be honest, so I'm definitely feeling the Monday blues. Oh well, nothing a bit of Christmas shopping won't fix. I haven't seen all that much in the actual shops so I think this year most of my shopping will be done online. I'm excited to get sorted, I love buying people presents.
