2 Weeks of Bliss

It is so wonderful being off work for a couple of weeks. I can do whatever I want!
So far that has been:
sleeping in late
making dark chocolate and mango brownies with pine nuts, walnuts and brazil
making lavendar-scented candles with layers of purple and pink and real roses in them
making a huge pumpkin and mushroom soup
making Christmas cards
going for a (short) run
making plans to go and see my favourite singer-songwriter play in London
planning to visit the British Museum and an exhibition of 'Weird and Wonderful Inventions'
planning to have an Action Day with my best friend's husband - walking/ caves/ canoeing
inviting my friend and husband over for dinner
planning my friend's baby shower

Things To Make Me Happy

Quick blog today just to recommend a music video from the fabulous Fatlab "Things To Make Me Happy" which you can watch for yourself if you click on the video in the top right of this blog (there's two; click on the one with Becky playing on a tree stump!). I can't help listening to it obsessively at the moment!! Fatlab are an unsigned band describing themselves as comedy/ alternative. This song is less strange and more accessible than most.

They live here in Devon, England and they do have a myspace. Click on the link below. If you do check out any of their other tunes/ videos, try not to be frightened by "Teddy" or the "Black Mouse of Doom". MWA HA HA!
