Thoughtful Tuesday
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Things I Love Thursday
It’s a new month-ish and a new season full of new promise. I love Autumn- cozy jumpers, consuming copious mugs of the hot beverage of your choice and the spectacular show of colour and richness nature provides. Since its Thursday here’s a list of some other things I love this week.
High on my list this week, well this…
‘Girls and women of the world, could we stop apologizing for wanting and eating food? Because this is one of the most ridiculous things that we do collectively as lady-people, and not only does it annoy the shit out of me personally, but it is also INCREDIBLY SAD. Could we stop feeling “guilty” for wanting an effing brownie? Or a plate of fries? Could we stop actively seeking permission from our friends to go ahead and “be bad” and order the cheesecake? Could we all just go ahead and order whatever it is that we feel like eating, instead of saying, “Oh, I feel like a pig, you guys are just getting salads”? Because—now I know this will come as a shock—WOMEN EAT. We get hungry. We get hungry for pizzas and Double Stuf Oreos and nachos and ice cream and giant French-toast breakfasts, and you know what? WE DON’T NEED TO FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT.’
— an excerpt from this beautiful article that everyone should read.
Oh and reader, I know I’m way behind the times but I have only just discovered the thing where if you Google any actor's name followed by 'bacon number', Google tells you how many degrees away from Kevin bacon they are. IS THERE ANYTHING IT CAN'T DO?
Also this text from one of my youthlings: “'then it's up to the judges to decide their fate' Dermot [the presenter & speaker of the aforementioned quote], chill babe - it's only xfactor, not the hunger games!”
Now is the time for me to go foraging for dinner, so it’s your turn to share your TILT list! What’s making your week that little bit sweeter reader?

Thoughtful Tuesday
I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
