It’s Thurday. Huzzah. A chance to focus on things that made me flutter a little bit this week:

Top of the list this week = The random kindness of people I love

Spring is on its way- there’s incredible beauty springing up, pardon the pun reader, around us if we just look.

Books- Saturday 5th March 2011, two days after World Book Day, was World Book Night- An event to inspire people to read involving enthusiastic readers giving away their favourite book to people they think might love it too. It also featured an evening of coverage and special Culture Show programmes on BBC2. Books inspire, books provoke, I can genuinely say I wouldn’t be the person I am today without half the books I’ve read, and of course few pleasures are as satisfying as losing yourself in a good book.

Sometimes it’s the little things that make me smile:
Leftover naan-bread and takeaway curry for lunch yum yum

Watching really old Disney movies with super amazing art. There’s something much more charming about them than modern special effects.

vivid dreams of old friends and places

Tea- always

What about you reader, what's making your list this week? I hope when you get a chance to look back on your week you find lots of little moments of awesome to relish in!

Thoughtful Tuesday

We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.

Fairtrade- Monday 28th Feb marked the beginning of Fairtrade Fortnight here in the UK. The theme this year is ‘loud and proud- Show off your label’.

I spent most of Tuesday & Wednesday this week serving tea, coffee and homemade cake (made with entirely fairly traded ingredients) to the elderly, playing fun games/quizzes with school-children and giving out stickers to, well, everyone (turns out everybody loves stickers; especially when they’re free). I’m very proud to be a supporter of fairly traded goods.

I mentioned in last weeks Tilt how nice it was to hear a “thank you” from some of my youthlings. Well it happened again this week and I’m going to mention it again because I was so touched by their thoughtfulness. We ran a sleepover for the elder youth on Saturday night and on Sunday morning two of the girls gave me a card they’d made to say thank you complete with a heartfelt message inside.
