happy friday

Friday feelings:

• It is a bit strange being back in London. Home but not home. Familiarity but wow do things change quickly.
• Missing Tim while I am in London. I am such a sap.
• Thinking about Love Languages. Ché suggested the book to me and I read it on the plane to London. The idea is pretty simple – that we each ‘feel’ love and ‘speak’ love through a specific love language. Mostly couples don’t share the same love language and this can lead to issues in the relationship. I think after over nine years together Tim and I are fine but it does give some insight into our actions towards each other and I am happy to always work at making each other loved.
• Grateful for friends that stay up late at night when journeys take longer than planned and that shops in London stay open past 8pm when there is nothing to eat at my departure airport and Ryanair has neither sandwiches or cutlery to eat the cooked meals they do have available on the plane. Plus all my other lovely people in London.

Weekend links:

• A great collection of TED talks if you are looking for some insights and inspiration.
• If you are planning some holidays here are good tips from the Guardian on travel writing.
• Practise something for 100 days and share videos of your progress with Give it 100. I like this idea but with a wedding coming up this might have to wait a while before I commit to something. Also what? So many options!
• I have never felt the need to use dry shampoos but if you are working out a lot it is nice to know they exist and this is a great review of some dry shampoos including some more natural ones.
• This bag from Wool and the Gang seems like a great beach bag for the summer.
• Love this artist’s textile art, especially this neon yarn laser exhibition.

Have a lovely weekend!

p.s. how amazing is that pink on that peony. Seriously was that colour.
