One for weather

From the wonderful: benjaminrosamond.com

I hope everyone's keeping warm and dry; especially in America ... definitely time for hibernation methinks.

One for decorating


With the New Year, we have upped the anti with looking for houses we'd like to buy (once useful things like joint bank accounts and deposits are secured.) Could I get away with patterned walls and a picture of the Queen above my bed I wonder?! And look at the cushion! I want the cushion! (even if it does remind me of Dave Gorman's comments on women liking to put one cushion on the bed for no apparent reason.

One for the weekend

Happy first weekend of the year! Also happy 2nd anniversary to the manfriend. So what are you all up to this weekend? Doing all the healthy, interesting things you've vowed to spend the year achieving? In case you find yourself with a feeling of 'Oh no, I don't know if I can do another one of these'; here's a list of shiny happy things to pep you up and launch you into the remaining 360ish days left of 2014:

LISTEN: My cheery new Spotify playlist
Perfect for singing along to on the way to work.

WATCH: Happy
This project is absolutely incredible!

READ: The Happiness Project and the adjoining blog
A good one for January reading ... even if I read it in June.

EAT: Smoked Salmon Tart
The latest culinary success at number 27.

DO: Go to see something in the First Fortnight Festival
Particularly Dolls, Confusion Boats, or Silver Linings Playbook

MAKE: Lemon self-saucing Pudding
Ridiculously easy and oh so good.
