Thankful 'Thursday

I know, I know! "It's Friday" I hear you cry. Well, I was busy yesterday evening and by the time I got home I was shattered and went straight to bed so this week I'm being thankful on Friday instead. And yes, I did also neglect to do a Thankful Thursday last week, But I have a good excuse for that too; I was in Liverpool, without the best internet connection and, to be honest, too busy enjoying Easter with the boy and his family to worry the lack of blog posts too much. I'll try and make up for it with a fortnight's worth appreciation of the beautiful things in life this week. So I'm thanking the world for:

Bank holiday weekends

Walking hand in hand on the beach at dusk

Springer spaniel puppies

Putting aside technology and enjoying a good old game of Scrabble

The prospect of a wedding next year, and the accompanying excuse to buy a dress

Planning for the future

M&S food

The appearance of the sun, finally!

Long text conversations with friends

The amazing strength of community spirit

A good book that you cannot put down

Cheese and onion crisps

I'm feeling pretty grotty this evening and my flatmate is away sunning himself in Saudi Arabia (lucky devil!) so am curled up in the corner of the L-shaped sofa (the best place in the world) with a duvet, chocolate digestive biscuits and season 4 of The Tudors. My friend from university was supposed to be coming to visit this weekend but is unable to make it now so instead tomorrow I'm going to make like a housewife with the spring cleaning and baking of delicious goodies. Sunday will be spent watching a bucket full of films. Ahhh, these are the lazy days!

Stay thankful guys!
