I’ve had a very full day today. I worked my first day at my new job, and now I feel totally exhausted. I don’t even have an outfit photo for you because I spent the day in uniform. Here’s a quick list of some things I love and am grateful for this week.

 

 

This week I love:

 

 

– Meeting fantastic new friends.

 

 

– Having dinner with two women who have influenced me greatly.

 

 

– Delicious garlicky beans.

 

 

– Anticip….ation

 

 

– Shopping with old friends and getting loads of brilliant bargains.

 

 

– Housemates who do the dishes for you.

 

 

– The refreshed feeling after you’ve shed every tear your body can produce.

 

 

– Meryl Streep

 

 

– Vegetable and cheddar soup made in my slow cooker. Yummers.

 

 

– Brushing my hair over and over until it crackles with static.

 

 

– Early morning air that freezes your lungs.

 

 

– Surprise phone calls from my beloved.

 

 

– People who say, “there should be a movie about your life”.

 

 

– Across the Universe

 

 

– Taking off a pair of shoes that are pinching your toes.

 

 

– Sweet old men who stop to shake your hand in the street.

 

 

– Waking up next to Ross.

 

 

– Bubble Pop Electric by Gwen Stefani

 

 

– Debating which country has the sexiest accent.

 

 

– Mad Men. My brother bought me the first season for my birthday and I’m loving it. Don Draper: I want to go to there.

 

 

– Sequins, so many sequins

 

 

– Writing in my journal on the bus, so my handwriting is all wobbly.

 

 

What’s making you grin this week? What are you grateful for?
