Today’s Things I Love Thursday will not be accompanied by the traditional outfit shot.  I’ve come down with a rather nasty cold, so I’m slobbing about the house in jeans and a jumper and no makeup.  It’s comfy and warm, but I figured you guys didn’t want to see pictures of me with a drippy nose and pillow hair.  I consider it a public service.

 

Despite being sick, there are plenty of things to make me smile this week, such as:

– Having an extremely successful op-shopping trip on Sunday.  I got three lovely warm jumpers for winter and a nice new handbag.

 

– Homemade pumkpin soup with loads of pepper.

 

– Going over to my brother’s new flat for dinner.  He made meatloaf.  I did the dishes.  It was awesome.

 

– Planning an epic costume for Supanova this year.  It’s all ready and I want to wear it every day, but I can’t.

 

– Surprise packages in the mail from dear friends.

 

– Getting into my first preference group for my Psychology project.  That’s right, I’m doing an actual psychological research project, with science and everything.

 

– Bunny ears and black lipstick:

 

– Seriously misinterpreting a scene in The Social Network and having everyone in the room laugh at me.

 

– Girls wearing immaculate red lipstick and brogues on the bus.

 

– Roald Dahl.  I can’t wait until my little cousins are old enough to appreciate his genius.

 

– Mint green french manicures

 

– Late-night naan bread deliveries.

 

– Daria.  It’s the perfect thing to watch when you’re not feeling well.

 

– Vicks Vaporub.

 

Now it’s your turn.  What’s making you grin maniacally this week?
