Small Things :-)

In busy weeks, it can be easy to miss the ‘small things’ that cheer us up – so it’s great to have the opportunity to think back and record them here! * There being fewer leaves on the trees has one advantage – you can spot all the birds better 🙂 I’ve been enjoying watching…

Small Things

My ‘Small Things’ posts are about the little things that have made me smile during the week. This week, I’ve been: Listening to: Robbie Williams’ Swing When You’re Winning – I’m waiting for his next Swing album which is out this month! I really like the orchestral accompaniment to I Will Talk and Hollywood will Listen,…

A few links for you to enjoy…

This week has been half term. Which means that although I’ve not been officially off work, I have done a lot of what I call ‘pottering’ (apologies there for the ‘what I call’ Miranda moment!). So… filing, browsing the Internet, housework, browsing the Internet, sorting, browsing the Internet, reading, admin, eating and drinking have very…

This week…

…Has been a very full week! There has been so much I wanted to post about, so I’m going to try to bring it all together in one post. I’ve been watching: The final episode of Educating Yorkshire, and if you haven’t seen it you HAVE to watch it! It tells the story of a…

Small Things

Here are this week’s ‘small things’: *I’ve been laughing at: Gogglebox (http://www.channel4.com/programmes/gogglebox/4od), my sister, Jamie getting stuck under the rug, and Andrew’s Alan Rickman impression! *I’ve been reading: Youth Work Magazine and Northanger Abbey. I love Jane Austen’s sense of humour, and the fact that most of her books are free on Kindle! *I’ve been watching:…

Small Things

This week, I’ll be honest, I’ve been at times a little grumpy! But that does not mean there haven’t been more ‘small things’ reminding me that life is good 🙂 Here are a few of those small, simple things: *The leaves turning orange and red. This is our vine which I think looks beautiful! *The…

A Gentle Ramble

It has been hard to know what to post about or how in the last few weeks. My last post was about the beauty of perseverance – something which I have since been struggling to do! Nevertheless, there has been plenty to think about, read and appreciate so here’s a gentle ramble through some of…

A Round Up of the Week

I thought I would incorporate my ‘Small Things’ post and general thoughts into one post this week – hopefully there’s something here for all of you 🙂 I’ve been listening to: Another Radio 1 Live Lounge – this time Imagine Dragons’ cover of Rudimental, which you can hear here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA0yyeYX0CY Starts off kind of slow, but his…

Small Things :-)

I thought it was time for another ‘Small Things’ post – my occasional lists of bits and pieces that I’ve been enjoying over the week. So here it is – another list of ‘small things’: To listen: Rizzle Kicks’ cover of Lana Del Rey’s Summertime Sadness in Radio 1’s Live Lounge. Unexpectedly good 🙂 It…

Some more ‘small things’

I like to mix my more ‘philosophical’ ramblings with lighter posts about the little things in life that make our days all the more enjoyable. Doing these posts is great because it always helps me to find thankfulness, even when I have been low or had a hard week. This week I hope there is…

Small Things :-)

In the style of my favourite blog, ciderwithrosie.com, here is a little list of things that have been lifting my spirits this week. Having been on holiday, I have quite a few! 1. Managing to snap this butterfly (a Dark Green Fritillary I think?) on my phone at Centre Parks, Longleat: 2. Painting my nails…
