Ah, baths!
Being at the lower end of the 20 something scale, you may be surprised to know that there's not much else I'd rather do on a Friday night than lie in a roasty, toasty, lightly bubbled bubble bath; especially in the winter months.
After a long week at work, who wants to go out, roaming the streets for an available taxi, jumping from bar to bar, and eventually, bar to nightclub, in the plummeting temperatures, when you can quite relaxingly lie in a nice hot bath for hours, turning slowly into an oversized wrinkled prune? Not me! I would choose a bath every time! I know this may make me sound old, but I don't care. I like my baths and I would have one every night if I could.
Although, my thoughts change as we come into the warmer months (which is now!). I hate (and I mean HATE) sitting indoors when the sun is shining. Still not sure I would swap my baths for a nightclub, however, but a nice little drink in a bar with outside decking... now my arm may have been twisted!
More on this topic later. For now enjoy your baths!

I love...hot chocolate
Yesterday turned out to be a rather grey day here in Scotland making everything seem a little dull. It was quite a dramatic difference from the record breaking weather we had over the weekend. However, every cloud has a silver lining and yesterday my silver lining came in the form of a lovely cup of hot chocolate.
As you will see from the picture, my hot chocolate was no ordinary, plain or basic hot chocolate made with instant chocolate power. No. It was one made from real chocolate drops, melted with hot milk and topped with cream and marshmallows. It warmed me up nicely!
So, just remember; the bigger the giant grey cloud, the bigger and brighter the silver lining!

I love... the wind
Sorry that I have been rather absent for the last few week, with only a few posts here and there, but a lot of things have been going on recently. Nothing major, just things such as being busy at work, helping out stressed family members, and just things not going to plan. But yesterday that all changed.
Yesterday started a very dull day with heavy rain showers, and although the rain can make me smile it wasn't the rain that made me smile yesterday, but the wind.
At lunch time, the rain had stopped and the sun's rays were trying their best to squeeze through the clouds. The wind had also picked up and as I stepped outside I could feel it blowing through my hair. My hair was blowing in every direction possible, and as it did I almost instantly felt a little weight lift of my shoulders. I don't know why or how but all of a sudden I felt as though I had solved all my problems, or at least, I felt I could now sort them out.
By the afternoon I felt like a new person. I decided that stressed family members weren't something I could sort instantly, but that just being there for them would help them along the way to recovery. I decided not to let the busy world of work get me down, I would just need to work around it. I have plenty of time outside of work to do the things that make me happy and in this time I can sort out my plans for the future.
People say that life is too short, but I say that as longs as you live each day and smile while you're doing it, the journey to where you want to be can take as long as you want becasuse even if you don't make it, at least you've had fun along the way.
