Friday Find

Winston Churchill's failsafe hangover breakfast included a pint of port. Yes reader, you read that correctly a PINT of PORT to CURE a hangover.
I’m a great fan of the restorative powers of port, not sure it’d be the first thing I’d want to reach for at breakfast, maybe I’ll give it a try one day. Still think I’ll keep the bananas and ‘fizzy good, fizzy make me feel nice’ on hand too just in case.
What about you reader? Any failsafe hangover cure tips?

Things I Love Thursday

I had planned to do a proper things I love Thursday post today. Earlier in the week I'd even begun to plot it out. However over the last couple of days I've recieved several pieces of news including the death of an old school classmate and I'm afraid my tilt list has since left my brain and fluttered away someplace else. I only hope that wherever it went it was appreciated as much as it would have been if I'd remembered it and written it on here.
There are still lots of things that I am very grateful for this week, not least that the review meeting for my mum's progress at the neurorehab unit was all positive stuff. Yet instead of rehashing my tilt list I felt much more drawn to sharing this little clip with you. The song is entitled 'Life Has Its Funny Ups and Downs' which feels very appropriate. It's taken from a film called 'I Love Melvin' and features Donald O'Connor tap dancing on roller skates:
