This Weekend

I had to share some kitty cuteness, 'cause they are just too cute! Well somtimes anyway, most of the time Lola attacks Augus' tail or chases him round, and he just wants a quiet life poor thing. Another weekend has come to an end, why is it they go so fast but a working week drags on? It is so hard at the moment with beach worthy weather being stuck in a dull old office cubicle. So it's best to make the most of spare time, this weekend has involved:

- finally after such a long wait seeing Into the Wild, when rd and i first got together, he told me I HAD to read this book, and it was so special, but seeing the film brought it back and was perhaps even more emotive and moving. It's an amazing story, about a very incredible person.
- hanging out drinking strawberry milkshakes and reading papers
- listening to new and old music
- making linguine marinara, with fresh fish, prawns and squid, then enjoying eating it outside in the evening sunshine
- winning lovely giveaways from the wonderfully talented Marta
- working on ideas for the shop update
- and of course the standard dose of housework and washing and cleaning (you know the really fun stuff!)

In Appreciation

Sometimes life can be a funny thing, sometimes you loose sight of what is really important and forget to tell those you love how you really feel, how you need them so much. I went to a funeral last week, the grandmother of one of my olderst friends, I have known them both since I was about five. She felt like my nanna just as much as my friend's, she would always want a chat and know how you were doing and always call it as it was. The funeral was very sad as it brought back a lot of childhood memories and made me think a lot about making the most of life. I know lately for myself I have been very inward, and isolated in a way, and so I need to appreciate the way Nanna lived her life and make sure I tell Rd that he is the most amazing thing in my life, that my family is so very special and also believe in myself. She was a great one in self belief. I am so fortunate to have known some one like that.
