This week's happiness

Things that have made me happy this week...

Gosh it really does feels like it's been ages since I did one of these This Week's Happiness posts, even though it's only been a few weeks! I've really enjoyed doing these posts since I started back in September and they're so nice to look back on as a reminder of all the things I've been enjoying over the months...!

 

Winter walking

It's been a bit of a miserable week weather-wise but we've still managed to make the best of it and enjoy some rather chilly walks through Greenwich Park and across Blackheath. Nothing better than fresh air and enjoying beautiful sunrises and sunsets!

 A cinema date ❤️

We went to our lovely little local Picturehouse Cinema last weekend to see The Theory of Everything. Have you seen it? It's the most fascinating and moving story of Sir Stephen Hawking's life - his marriage with his wife Jane (played by the most beautiful Felicity Jones) and his struggle with the awful disease ALS. I don't think I had seen Eddie Redmayne in any other films before, but wow he has such incredible talent and he portrayed Sir Stephen Hawking brilliantly. He definitely deserves a million BAFTAs. I love a good cinema date, we don't go all that often but on a rainy Sunday afternoon there's something so cosy about snuggling into the big comfy velvet chairs with some popcorn and getting lost in a movie.

Flower love

Now that Christmas is well and truly behind us, it's been a nice change to have beautiful spring-like tulips and roses filling the flat instead of poinsettia, Christmas trees and holly berries! Tulips remind me of my mummyyyyyy! 

It's Fridayyyyy! It feels amazing to have a whole four day weekend off work!! And it feels even more amazing to finally have a weekend with so few plans! Today I'm having a day to myself as Rob is at work. It's just the thing I need after some long night shifts. I love days to myself occasionally and having the time to clean and tidy the flat properly, have a long bath, do some baking and relax on the sofa catching up on all the TV I've missed. I might even go swimming this evening if I don't fall asleep before then!

Tomorrow I'm catching up with one of my oldest friends, Kat, who doesn't live too far from me these days. We've been friends since we were about 5! We'll probably have lunch together and have a wander somewhere. I can't wait to see her.

Sunday will be a day spent with my lovely Rob. I'm not sure what our plans are but we'll most probably cook a roast dinner as that's what Sundays are all about! We've made a little promise that we aren't allowed to eat out at any restaurants for a little while to see how much money we save!! Does anyone else spend ridiculous amounts of money on eating out too frequently? It's become a bad habit... and it's a habit which is proving difficult to break...!
And then Monday I'm seeing some friends for lunch. I'll probably try and squeeze a few runs in over the weekend too. I am well and truly back on the fitness bandwagon!


Have a great weekend!!
