Morning, everyone! Did you miss me? Well, here is a staple of ours:
- The ability to laugh at yourself. I know, what an abstract way to start! I'm the type of person who has a lot of mishaps. Situations that once made me feel profoundly embarrassed, but that I have since learnt to laugh about. Just today I managed to accidentally flash my backside to a random guy as I was leaving the showers at the gym, and ten minutes later a wind lifted my dress all the way to my waist as I was crossing the street, thus flashing an old guy. So never underestimate the soul-lifting skill of laughing at yourself and not take life too seriously.
- Disposable income for spontaneous purchases. I'm not throwing money away (and even if I did, it's my money, so no harm there), but I do enjoy being able to do random things like organise an impromptu hot chocolate buffet at work. That's what I did today; got a really nice chocolate mix, some mini marshmallows and other toppings and now I'm off to email my team to come and treat themselves on me.
- My boyfriend. Nothing beats the joy of having someone in your corner. Someone who makes you laugh, who knows exactly how to make your knees buckle, who lies next to you on his kindle as you read your book in bed. Someone to free spiders back into the garden with whom you can share your life with.
- Working from home. Every now and then I like to work from home. I can have a lie in (because there's no commute), I can have a scented candle by me, I can belt musical tunes while I go through my emails, I can work in comfy wear. And I can use the coffee breaks to do five minutes of chores. Also, I can get through my normal workload a lot faster.
- Butternut squash. Yummy, low calorie vegetable that tastes almost of dessert. What more do you need?
- Duvet weather. I know I say this a lot, but I lo-ve sleeping under a heavy duvet. To sleep in a cocoon of cosy and have that barrier between your yummy slumber and the rest of the world. Thank you, Autumn!
