Hello there!
I hope you are all well. Joining in with Jen over at little birdie, here are this week's happy things:
- Completing the Leeds Abbey Dash 10k race on Sunday in under an hour, and 7 minutes faster than last year. Woop! Thank you so much for all your support and good wishes for the race, they really meant a lot to me.
- Clean sheets. Heaven. I don't get to lie in anymore so I have to go to bed early with books and magazines and luxuriate among smooth sheets, plump pillows and soft quilts.
- The Christmas magazines. I love them. CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!
- Season three of Danish crime drama The Killing started on BBC4 last weekend; we have just watched the second episode. It is superb.
Another small happy which I'll sneak in is the text I received from John this evening, sent around 6 pm while he was on the train: "Do you fancy getting payday takeaway tonight? Beer, pizza and The Killing?" Yes. Yes I did. And that is exactly what we did.
I'd say that last is a big happy, just not the kind of thing you can photograph! (Gutted this series of The Killing is the last.)
ReplyDeleteWe still have episode two to watch! Some lovely things here, I love clean sheets and combined with Christmas magazines you have yourself a slice of heaven right there! Have a good week x
ReplyDeleteAll very happy making things, clean white sheets and gorgeous things to read, and takeaway with a good watch on TV is always good too. Haven't seen The Killing, but just finished American Horror Story... yikes! My son is in Leeds this week, said his having a fab time :) x
ReplyDeleteoh that bed and linen are so beautiful. love. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy list.
ReplyDeleteClean sheets are one of my favorite things in life.
Awesome job on the run.
Congrats on the race!! I adore clean sheets and your bed linens are so beautiful. Christmas is coming soon!! My mailbox has been full of Christmas magazines the last few days...now I just need to find time to read them! And beer and pizza for dinner sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteUnplanned treats are the best :)
ReplyDeleteYour bed is so beautiful, like a magazine! Sounds like a great evening :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the race! The Killing is the best. I'm in denial that it's the last series but loving it!
ReplyDeleteIt might only be breakfast time, but that bed looks soooo inviting! Well done with the run! :)
ReplyDeleteOh well done on your speedy Dash. The magazine pile here is enormous (yet I'm still needing inspiration for Christmas gifts). Love The Killing too. (You might like this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/video/2012/nov/16/danish-the-killing-video). You've reminded me I need to change the bed linen!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you with the Christmas magazines! Every year I get butterflies when I see them on the shelves, yes I am that sad. I felt like my mum buying the Prima one but it is awesome. Get it if you haven't already!!! X
ReplyDeleteWell done you on the 10k run, hope you are taking it easy this week!
ReplyDelete'Pay-day-take-away-evening' sounds like a perfect treat for a Tuesday!

Totally agree with you about clean sheets. And huge congrats on the race - such a great achievement. I can barely run to the corner ;-) x

I have also been reading 'The Simple Things' - what a great magazine!
ReplyDeleteWell done you for finishing the race. Amazing! x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the race! Such an achievement. How do you get your pillows to be so plump? Love those pillow cases. xxx
ReplyDeleteWell done on the race, that's a great achievement. I love clean sheets and Christmas magazines too. I've not read the simple things yet, must try and look out for that one. xx
ReplyDeleteAah lovely and many congrats on your PB for the race. New sheets and the immense pleasure of curling up with a magazine is definitely something I look forward to. I'm already starting to long for my next Simple Things - it's not long till the next one right?
ReplyDeleteWell done on your PB for the race. I never plucked up the courage to enter one and don't run now. There's a house near me which has had its Xmas decorations up for a week - nooooo! Xmas in magazines - yes. Xmas in homes before December - just wrong!
ReplyDeleteLove getting into bed with clean sheets too!! I often think if I was a squillionaire I'd have someone put clean sheets on my bed everyday, because I love that crispness : -) Simple pleasures ...
ReplyDeleteWell done you ... you must be delighted having beaten your last years race time ... love clean sheets, magazines and The Killing ... can I move in :) ... who wouldn't love payday treats ... Bee xx
