Last weekend, I found a new favourite coffee shop and I'm dying to hang out there this weekend and finish my book, start another. And I'm going to hit the flower markets with a friend and we're going to make arrangements together with all our shared flowers!
I've been terribly busy but also happy - the things I'm working on are all fun projects. I've also been having lots of thoughts about work-life balance lately... if it's really meaningful, desirable for a person like me, if there's a less oppositional way of phrasing it. Is it really work versus life? Can't it be work and life dovetailing more beautifully?
I think another key to my happiness this week was the fact I made room for exercise each day. I don't know why I disbelieve it... When I exercise I always feel better. What will it take to make that stick in my thick skull?! A pox upon my mutable nature!
From exercise to tasty treats... Helen's Baci di Ricotta look like something sent by the gods. And Eilis posted this video from Dublin Town (such a great site!) and I squealed with delight when I saw John Gunn at 4:10. This man sold me all my camera film and photography paper for years and his store is one my favourite places ever. On a less sentimental note, I also fell hard for the amazing footwear in this post over on Miss Moss.
And so that's it for another week. What are you up to this weekend? Have a grand one!
Your happiness is infectious here!
ReplyDeleteThe sun is out and I'm also happy it's Friday. Study is finally in the past so I'll be reading fiction, checking out some art and hopefully snapping a few pics. I think that combination tends to be my favourite for a weekend!
Jane I had a strange week ...... but it seems to be ending on a high , and I include the above "shout out" in that
ReplyDeleteToday has been a day when I am so grateful for the community I have found online, even though it seems sometimes intangible, after a day like today I am SO grateful that I grasped this "social network thing!!
it gives me so much x x
Can I join you guys for coffee and flower arrangement? Sounds like a perfect weekend to me :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be studying and hopefully I can go hiking on Sunday..
Happy weekend!
Happy weekend, Jane. Those shoes!
ReplyDeleteWorking and then working a little bit more and living vicariously through the moments I steal on line.
ReplyDeleteBut since my work is arranging flowers and it's a sunny Mothers Day weekend with buckets of peonies and other delicious flowers I have no room to complain!

That's a lovely video about Dublin. I'm in England, Oxfordshire for part of the year and now I miss being there, altho Vancouver is beautiful right now. It will be a sunny, warm weekend here. Hopefully you'll have a sunny, warm weekend too.
