Sunday nothings & Einaudi;

Yes my music taste has gotten all classical ;) Ha I joke, still like all the usual stuff but Einaudi is just so peaceful to listen to.

I hope you're all well, I've been losing followers recently which makes me a little sad! Only a few mind, but c'est la vie. Still thankful I've got sixty or so people that are vaguely interested in my day to day activities :')

Today was spent having a BBQ (without sun, in true British fashion) and watching Harry Potter 6 - it wasn't my favourite by a long shot, neither was the fifth... just feel it's less about Hogwarts and more about Voldemort so it goes all dark and people die etc! Although I've not seen the last 2, that's on my to do list this week. Also I'm seeing the wonderful Evie tomorrow for a good old catch up! I do hope this week goes quickly, last week went at a snail's pace!

One last thing: I've decided on a tattoo! Getting "tread softly" written on my right foot, just below my toes. It's from "He Wishes For Cloths of Heaven" by Yeats, a poem I love. Saving up as we speak ^.^

Friday Happiness; #4

1. Photographs

2. Big shirts

3. Good hair days

4. Rings

5. Recipe books

6. Dates to look forward to

7. "The Tree of Life" film

8. Sunshine

9. Relaxation

10. Candles

Decided to give you 10 things that make me happy, instead of the usual 5! I'm in a good mood today, went out for a walk and am going on another later with my mum. Walking is such an easy way to exercise! Might even constitute making brownies at the weekend... I have such a sugar craving, oh dear. Going to pick my sister up from York tomorrow, so that's most of saturday gone as it's a long drive. Although may watch some more Harry Potter films in the evening and on sunday! Hope you all have a lovely weekend, if I do end up making the brownies I'll try and take a photo before I eat them all ;)

Miss you.

Hope everyone's having a lovely sunny day like I am here up North! I'll go out for a walk with my mum when she gets home, nice to get a bit of exercise in eh! I currently look horrendously unattractive - well, not completely - just been feasting on some herby bread I made, and have a fat lip. I have no idea where it came from, I haven't walked into a door mid-sleep have I? Wouldn't put it past me.

The plans for the rest of this week include seeing some friends and generally mooching as usual. I really, really want a nice day out somewhere like Stratford Upon Avon but I have zilch funds, booo. Someone's welcome to whisk me away ha! Yesterday I met up with my beautiful friend Mary and we had a right old catch up with tea and a film (and cake..), lovely. Here's what I wore:

The skirt and top are Topshop, and anyone that's been reading this blog for a while will know the watch is my grandad's. I love that belt, it feels so vintage-y! (Also Topshop though, booo).

Off to tidy up the kitchen as I've covered it in flour! I'm not a clean baker...

Thoughts

I know lots of people have heard about the tragic deaths of both the people of Norway and Amy Winehouse over this weekend. I pray that nobody else is added to the list but sadly this probably won't be the case. Death is such a strange thing, it takes away someone in an instant, what's beyond is unknown and what is left behind is a deep hole. So for those of people who are trying to gauge which death deserves more attention, stop. Stop stop stop. Any death is as important as the next, everyone is equal, no matter what their circumstance is. So many other people today will have lost their lives in the world today be it through an accident, natural causes or tragic losses such as poverty. It's a shame, no doubt about it, but the best we can do whilst we are lucky enough to still be around is to respect the dead and their memory, and never forget just how fragile life is. 

Makes you appreciate the simple things doesn't it?
