I've been in a bit of a blog slump lately. My draft folder is full of half-written posts and ideas, but I can't seem to get anywhere with them and, although I'm proud of some of what I've written lately (I loved finally finishing the Music & Misery post, after months of writing a bit at a time), there's a lot that I'm not so keen on. So, in an effort to break the slump, here are some things that have made me happy...
1. This cheery postcard.
2. A lovely lunch and tour of Nottingham with Laura of Make Do & Mend.
3. A fun sushi date with The Boy (who was most taken with his first experience of vegan sushi).
4. The programme for Hay Festival 2014 being released - only six weeks to go and I can't wait!
5. Another lovely lunch and shopping trip with B & E of Make, Do & Spend, on which I bought the most perfect summer sandals (which is basically the holy grail of my shopping trips - I'm obsessed with my shoes all being entirely plain and one exact shade of brown).
6. Bumping into old friends.
7. The end of term - hooray for two weeks off!
8. Finally cracking on with book five of the A Song Of Ice & Fire. At over 900 pages long, it's quite a commitment, but The Girl and I have established a Twitter #GoTBookclub to read along together.
9. Preparing for a trip to Glasgow this week (and a meet-up with Sarah and Elise. I am becoming quite social in my old age).
10. Tattoo excitement - only 10 more days to wait! Although I had a horrible anxiety dream last night about the design, so...
I am SO looking forward to meeting you!
ReplyDeleteMe too! (looking forward to meeting you, not to meeting myself. That would be weird)
DeleteHaving finished book 5 of the GoT sequence, I'd recommend you persevere! After book 4 (which was a bit of a grind.....), book 5 was a welcome relief, as there's quite a lot of action (and my fave characters made a welcome return).
ReplyDeleteI'm about 500 pages in and am loving it now! Took a while to get going but boy was it worth it.
DeleteThose kinds of postcards are so lovely, the bright colour and text really can cheer you up.
ReplyDeleteOoh, all so exciting! Hope you enjoyed Glasgow - I think I left the day before you were all meeting :( . And I really must get on with book 4 of GoT,so I can catch up with everyone else!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, what bad timing :( I really loved Glasgow, it was so nice to have a native to show me round.
