Things I Love Thursday
Here’s my round-up of, well, A Few of My Favorite Things, rightthissecond.
Top of my list this week definitely has to be Dara O’Briain Lat night I went to see him on his latest tour- Craic Dealer. He was fantastically hilarious, worth every penny of the ticket price, I’m still finding myself having a sly chuckle when things pop up that remind me of a bit of his material. (#racismisbetterthanastrology #youhadtobethere) Quite a bit of audience interaction too, about 70 % based on audience interaction and 30% stand up, so I will be interested in how this show differs from the one he will record. It was made all the more impressive given that he wasn’t very well, don’t ask what was wrong though as it is audience/comedian confidentiality.
Other smaller but no less notable loves:
Tiny treats Mini cakes ,my friend M’s new developed interest in breadmaking (not at all influenced by the fact that I get to sample his creations at all, you understand reader), random bursts of sunshine in the middle of all the gray skies we’ve been having lately
Okay! That’s it for me this week. Sorry it’s been a while but, hey. Life happens. What do you love this week reader?

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.

Thoughtful Tuesday
I tell my students, ‘When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.

Thoughtful Tuesday
If you feel that well-read people are less likely to be evil, and a world full of people sitting quietly with good books in their hands is preferable to a world filled with schisms and sirens and other noisy and troublesome things, then every time you enter a library you might say to yourself, ‘The world is quiet here,’ as a sort of pledge proclaiming reading to be the greater good.
