I woke up this morning to find this little beauty on my Facebook newsfeed, courtesy of Loveable. I can acknowledge that this is a terrible habit of mine; it's too easy to chew somebody's ear off about problems in relationships, work, health, weather...the list goes on! So, I thought I would take on the challenge and celebrate some of the little joys I've experienced over the last week:
1. Perfectly poached eggs: Is there anything better than going out for brekky and gently cutting into your poached eggs to discover they have been perfectly cooked? The beautiful golden yolk oozes over your plate and soaks into the toast, making the perfect start to your day. If you share this view I highly recommend the eggs florentine at L!fe Shoreditch on the very cool Brick Lane, which is where I brunched on Sunday morning.
2. Snow!: It has been unseasonably cold in London lately (so I'm told), and I'm in the vast minority of people who actually gets elated when it snows here. On Saturday morning I found myself waking up with the excitement of a child on Christmas because snow was forecast. I ran to the window of my apartment and wanted to wake the whole house so that they could come and watch the beautiful, dusty flakes falling from the sky too. The novelty has definitely not warn off yet and I really don't think it will any time soon!
3. Having family around: My cousin is visiting from Australia at the moment and it has been lovely having him here and showing him where I live. It's always special to have somebody around who loves you unconditionally however, I think I appreciate it a lot more when I am so far away from home. The fact that he brought Vegemite and Tim Tams doesn't hurt either...
4. Dancing like nobody's watching: I'm currently working in a primary school and on Monday we celebrated the retirement of a teacher with an assembly. As I was walking with the kids back to class they played Dancing in the Street over the speakers. It was a great moment when one of my year 5s and I made eye contact and simultaneously broke into dance, putting a permanent smile on my face for the rest of the day.
