Images sourced via The Galapagos Affair: Satan Comes To Eden – such a crazy/cool documentary! I thought it might be a good time to stop and take stock. So here goes… Making : a blanket (quel surprise!) Cooking : my favourite breakfast at the moment: a 2 egg omelette with zucchini, red onion, mushrooms and tomatoes – sprinkled with spices,
Following on from last week’s Pilot Episode Gilmorealong, here’s a little breakdown of Episode 2! Tell me if you watch! Tag any related images on Instagram with #gilmorealong so we can see! The Lorelai’s First Day At Chilton After you watch: Things I noted/liked Lorelai and Rory are still so grumpy with each other. I like it better when
Do you know how great #52hellos is turning out to be? I’m not talking JUST about all the great letters I’m getting, but also about the letters I get to send. This week I sent something to my sister.

I know there are flaws, but there’s also an innocence, a cheekiness, a cheerfulness which suits my temperament down to the ground. If you’ve been following my late-blooming obsession with this show, you won’t be surprised that I’m re-watching a 3rd time.
Aw GUYS! You are totally getting excited about #52hellos ! I am so glad! Imagine if nobody sent me a letter. I would have looked like such a goose. Probably I would have asked my friends to write to me, but luckily there was no need because YOU ARE WRITING TO ME! Gosh. It’s the new way to comment,

The simplest things can be misinterpreted and before you know it we’ve got a total (hypothetical) catastrophe playing out in our heads. Here’s some advice on how to handle communicating with the other humans online. 1. If someone doesn’t reply to your email, it doesn’t
