Things I Like, Thursday 31st May.

1. Reading on the tube.  Makes my commutes fly by!

2. This song.  I like the Nicki Minaj version, but the Glee version takes all the swears out.  Brilliant!



3.  Jubilee weekend plans, all very chilled and lovely.

4. John Lewis being ten minutes away.

5. Sunshine (even if it's meant to go soon!).

6. Funfilled Skype sessions.

7.  Baby based emails from lovely friends.

8. Two fun weddings coming up in the next two months.

9. Girldates and the chance to spend time with my lovely girls :)

10.  The fact that at 6 pm tomorrow, Matthew and I both have 9 days off work.  There's so much to do in the house, it'll be lovely to paint and tidy and organise and relax together!

How about you?

Blogging in bed....

...it happens to us all sometimes. As I write this I'm lounging in bed in our lovely cool bedroom, enjoying being still and chilled and not warm....warm has very much been a theme this week. Outside I can hear cars and occasional voices as they pass, but apart from that the night is quiet. Another lovely evening with the always lovely Eileen. The food was good (pitas with yummy, yummy fresh fillings and a crisp Sauvignon Blanc), the movie was less than good (The Dictator), the company was thoroughly charming, as ever. But now here in London, it's time for rest. The six o'clock alarm is always a stinger, but it'll be all the more painful if I don't sign off soon. Sweet dreams, all!

Project Life Tuesday: May 21st-27th

Linking up as ever with Jessica for Project Life Tuesday!

Monday, May 21st:The start of a very busy week at work, and at play.  But even busy weeks are easier when you're rocking a badger necklace!

Tuesday, May 22nd: Another full day at work, and then the JLL AGM.  Was fun to see so many people and to see the new class of members get 'activated'!  Too fun.

Wednesday, May 23rd: I really do love my class. I was out on a maths training day and they'd left me a little note detailing a minor grumble (which I set right on Thursday, never fear!), and making sure I knew they had missed me.  Funny boys! (Post-its covering student names)
 

Thursday, May 24th:The inaugural meeting of our book club!  There are fourteen of us in total, and eight of us made it to the meeting for wine, delicious food and lots of chat.  Super fun, and I'm very much looking forward to the next one.  A little daunted that the next book chosen is Fifty Shades of Grey!  Its sure to spark some discussion!

Friday, May 25th:The Chelsea Flower Show with these lovelies.  Great fun!

Shona enjoying a cupcake at John Lewis.

Mum White and Lou at the bowling party!

Siobhán, the lovely bride to be!

Miss Ems is ready to bowl!

The ever-gorgeous Eileen.  This time next year we'll all be on her hen night!

Saturday, May 26th: Over the weekend I was lucky enough to have not one but two friends come for a sleepover - the lovely Shona and the lovely Lou!  Such fun to catch up and hear their news.  Shona and I went for lunch and chat, and in the evening Lou and I went to the very fun bowling-and-dinner hen night of the lovely Siobhán!  So much fun to see so many lovely ladies.

Sunday, May 27th: I was feeling a little green from the get-go (tummyache started on Saturday so I didn't drink, despite the cocktails at the hen night looking awesome), but still loved chatting with Lou and Shona before they had to head off.  Then Emma popped round for tea and cake, before an evening of planning, reading, feeling most unwell, and ladybird invasions....

Looking forward to reading everyone's posts!
