Feel good Friday

Because of Labour weekend last weekend, it's been a short and sweet week, with a very busy weekend coming up, which is kind of good because I suffer from what Joshua likes to call "Weekenditis" - if I'm not doing anything I get a little bit weird. It's definitely been an inspiring week, and also a week of reflection... so here's what's making me happy this week...

♥ The prospect of spoiling Joshua on his birthday with hugs and kisses and meatloaf wrapped in bacon for dinner tonight...
♥ Getting an email inviting me to the NaNoWriMo kick off party on Sunday - eep! I'm really doing this, what a nutbar
♥ Getting serious about my research for my novel, Missing Since Tuesday, by meeting with a Wellington Railways expert at the archives - think I might have to take a day off work sometime soon to trawl through all those amazing old photos, so fascinating!
♥ Having a rare "I have nothing to do" moment, which I spent cruising through my old Facebook photos, smiling over the little things that have changed and the little things that haven't over the last five years or so, and also smiling over the beautiful memories of summers past, wondering what memories are in store for us this summer

Happy Tuesday!

Morning all! We've just had a long weekend here in NZ, so apologies for the lack of Friday and Monday posts, but Happy Tuesday anyway! Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine included a lot of sleeping, eating, baking cookies, watching Californication, barbecue and a swim at a friend's house, watching rugby, listening to my new favourite song, Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, going to pet stores to look at the cute little kitties and doggies that we can't have yet. All in all, a fabulous weekend - felt like a warm up for Christmas - Joshua and I even talked about whether we should get a real or fake tree for our first Christmas living together. Even though a small fake one is a sensible idea for our apartment, we thought, screw it, we're getting a real one!
Have a fabulous week xo
