Hey! Lots of happy stuff this week (Stuff, the word that is the bane of the teacher trying to produce articulate children with high levels of oracy! On the Ire-scale it is closely followed by thingie and thing)
![Lindy happy tall]()
1. Need I say, that Lindy-hop dance (and in fact swing dance in general- the shag and charleston too!) have been the highlight of my week! Here I am dancing with a lovely old chap who kindly dances with me every time I see him despite him being really good and me being not so!)
![train dress]()
2. Finally wearing my birthday dress- the Cath Kidston train dress I hoped for (with a red petticoat underneath!). However, then our eyes met across a crowded dance room and we noticed we were wearing the same dress! We laughed lots and couldn't resist the opportunity for a twin photo! Also, Char was wearing hers on Saturday too I think!!!!)
![Happy things]()
3. Making really nice meals to come home to this week: Salmon teriyaki with sweet potato mash with peas and sweetcorn on Monday (plus chinese leaf cabbage which I unfortunately consumed before plating!). Wednesday- chicken fillet with chives and roasted with leeks, roast potatoes, (and again, sweet corn and chinese leaf cabbage was consumed beforehand as I was in a hurry!). A shame my camera battery died tonight as I had a smashing Chipolata, onion and tomato bake with boiled potatoes (with butter) and you've guessed it- chinese leaf cabbage (and peas!) with oodles of coriander on top
4. Coriander! Oh how I adore it! It amused me greatly that as soon as I had left the Self-service checkout at Tescos, I greedily ate handfuls of the plant, much to the bemusement of shoppers entering the shop! It's quite fun being weird sometimes! Excuse Mr Aloe Vera who wanted in on the photo action!
5. Over the top blingie jewellery inspired by Kate Middleton ring (Peacocks and Primark respectively) which prompted loads of 'Diana and Kate' comments. Oh and finding a hat (handknitted by friend) in my collection that hasn't been shared on this blog (actually there are still a few that haven't! Despite the fact I've shown about 45 on her)
What has made you happy this week???
