Things I Love Thursday

Happy Thursday reader! I’m finding it pretty hard to stay positive this week so I’m glad to have Things I Love Thursday to focus solely on the things that are making me smile at the moment.

Successful Messy church (a safe afternoon of craft, games, food and most importantly lots of families having fun together), mystery packages that turn out to be unbirthday presents (have I mentioned I am supremely lucky to have the best friends?), Smiling at babies in the waiting room at the doctors', save the words (Even better with your speakers turned on), Plans with my uni friends at the weekend (not looking forward to the 7 hour train journey tomorrow though),

Hope you have a bundle of things to share that have been fantastic in your life this week reader

Things I love Thursday

Here are some things making me swoon lately!

Someone on my street has a black and white kitten (am trying REALLY hard not to kidnap it); going to sleep before midnight and not waking up to feeling like a zombie; A friend in New Zealand sending me this link to Sooshi because he saw it and thought I’d be amused; On the subject of websites …So much pun.com- especially this; Being reminded that every day I can choose to be happy. Fabulous! Laughing long and loud and clear, sing it with me-

Photos or it didn't happen...

I love taking photos, although I wouldn’t say I’m very good at it, and am always thinking I need to take more. In addition I have a bit of a soft spot for forced Perspective photography. I often find myself effortlessly entertained by photos in which people are shrunk or grown (blame years spent reading Gulliver's Travels and Alice in Wonderland). This evening I’ve been re-inspired to start carrying my camera again by this article ‘35 Splendid Examples of Forced Perspective Photography’

My personal favourites:
