This year-long Friday celebrations series is my way of documenting the good things that have passed my way during the week and being mindful of these, and more.
With a brief appearance of sunshine and warmer temperatures this week, I feel hopeful that spring is, in fact, on the horizon. This is why I’ll indulge in a little low cloud moodiness in today’s picture.
What’s worth celebrating this week?
- Keira has become quite addicted to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, ploughing through as many episodes at a time as we’ll allow. We’re now halfway through season three. It’s been interesting viewing; although I regularly put on the musical episode, and my personal favourite ‘Fool for Love‘, I’d forgotten a lot about some of the Buffy-verse, its rhythms, pulses and – occasional – problematic stumbles.
- I had my first massage for almost a year (not counting the occasional 10 minute shoulder rub), and it was heaven!
- We went to National Bookshop Day, bought books and supported local business! Keira held over her purchase until The 65-Storey Treehouse was released – and now it is!
- This letter Chris Guillebeau wrote to his deceased brother is so achingly sad and loving. Read it with tissues. I’m including it here because it also contains hope, and has a message that we all need to hold on to each other with compassion and kindness.
- I was astounded by the history that we came across in Italy, as I knew I would be. But equally as important was the tools and ingenuity required to make that history possible – monuments, temples, acqueducts etc. The foundation to many of these was concrete. That’s a pretty boring topic, right? Wrong.
- Here is The Guardian‘s take on the ten books that changed the world.
Have a happy weekend!
