Things I Love Thursday

These people (I’m the baby)

Last Saturday (23rd) would have been my grandfather’s birthday, the first since he died, and today is exactly one year since my grandma passed away. It’s perhaps only natural then that the last few days have been a time of reminiscing and nostalgia. I’ve been reminded how lucky I was in the grandparent stakes. All four of my grandparents were positive forces during my upbringing. They were remarkable people full of life experiences which they were only too happy to share. I am so grateful for their influence in my life and the different things each of them taught me both about the world and about myself.

What else?

Eyup lads an lasses I’m only being followed by gaffer and the Tetley tea folk over on twitter. Ear worming tinie tempah-Yen, everytime I hear it I think of you (it’s a blessing and a curse). Thick tights and winter coats. Cool, clear sunny mornings with beautiful blue skies

T.v.
Spooks, still, so far its been a brilliant and frustrating series. Avoiding spoilers but I spent much of the latest episode shouting at the television- almost making me lose faith in team thornton-spookski. However I was very excited at the return of a certain old face
Also Agatha Christie adaptations including a new Poirot

Stephen Fry Kinetic Typography – Language:

Dear blank please blank- I particularly like:

Dear Ninjas,
It's so funny how they think we hate each other... Dinner on Monday? I'll bring the rum.
Sincerely, Pirates.

Dear Wicked Witch of the West,
I understand. It's not easy being green.
Sincerely, Kermit.

Dear Brutus, I didn't realize you were being serious when you said it would be a killer party...
Sincerely, Julius
