Favourite Things


Evening re-reading of my favourite book by the sea.  This is my Granddad's copy of To Kill a Mockingbird that he gave me when I was reading it in school. It's a great book, and one I claim to be my favourite, in order to substantiate this claim I feel I need to have read the book more, so it seemed logical that as Stuart got out his bike that I would grab out this to read while serenaded with the sweet sound of his breaks screeching. He Trails bikes by the way. Jumps around on things on a bike with no seat. I know nothing more.

 

Holiday presents. The best friend skipped off to Poland for a post-university treat and returned with chocolate treats for me. Personally a nice fridge magnet would have gone down well, but edible gifts are great, especially when they are as pretty as these babies. There is an element of danger with these though, my Polish, not so good even, so each mouthful is remarkably similar to my imagined experience of Bertie-Botts Every Flavour Beans. Thankfully, the ones that particularly intimidate me like Italian coffee and whiskey were quickly identified and forced on to Stuart.


Locating the last of the Scottish snow for a snowball fight on the warmest day of the year so far. Ignore the bins, tactics in snowball fights do not allow for aesthetically pleasing snow pictures.

I hope you all had a glorious weekend, and a sunny one for those of you in the UK. I hope no-one got burnt and that no-one took their tops off because it was sunny and over 10 degrees- pet hate. It is not that warm. I have no desire to see pasty nipples in May. Anyway, that spiraled quickly.

Favourite Things

So my Christmas presents are crashing my Sunday post. But I missed updating about Christmas and these were some of my favourite things of the week anyway, hope you aren't all Christmas-ed out!
1. Festive nail varnish. As gay as it is, boyfriend actually got me these. They are festive colours! Bless him. I have such a stash of Essie nail varnishes that when I was out he had to double check what I already had. But he chose wisely. I love these colours, the green is something I wouldn't have picked myself but I love it anyway, and my old dark red has gone all lumpy and gross so it was a well timed purchased, good going boyfriend!


2. Raw Amethyst ring. Bought for me by my sister, from Etsy I am assuming. It is beautiful and also doubles up as an effective weapon. The crystal is pretty darn stabby, going to be helpful on the rough streets of Glasgow... Honestly though, I will not stab anyone with my ring. It might break.


3. Kitty mittens.They even have a string, this is very helpful so I don't lose them because I always lose one glove or one sock. It's my talent. However, these babies do have a drawback. I threaded them through the sleeves of my coat, because that is what I thought I should do, but if you do this and drive you do end up in a horrible tangled mess, not really ideal. So there we go, don't drink and drive, no drugs and driving and no certainly mittens with a string and pom poms. It is just distracting!

What did everyone else get for Christmas?
