Famous blue raincoat..

Life is pretty busy these days. It is difficult to not be a full time student anymore, to be a 'proper' grown up and work for a living, whilst trying to figure out what I want to do next. Husband is working a lot too, and we don't see much of each other. Bills and nothing but bills is what's coming through the post. Sometimes it is very lonely to live in a big city like London, it's easy to feel very small and unimportant. You rarely see known faces in the street. But on days like these I try to make lists like this, so here we go:

Things that make me happy today:

- the trees are gradually becoming yellow and pretty

- the school I work in is pretty cool (I'll put on some photos soon)

- seeing girls in the street that are all dressed up, and look like they're going to do something nice

- tiny little children that hug your legs for no apparent reason

- eating Husband's fresh homemade bread

- kids jumping in big puddles

- watching the latest costume drama on ITV; Downton Abbey, whilst having a nice, hot cup of tea from a lovely spotty tea cup

- fantacizing about and planning weekend trips to Cambridge, Winchester and the Cotswolds

- counting the days until half term holiday when we are going to Scotland

I try, at least, to count my blessings whenever I feel like I don't want to get out of bed in the morning!
