I was recently challenged by a friend to do this gratefulness challenge online - basically, you have to say three things a day that you're grateful for, for seven days, and then each day, also nominate someone new to take up the challenge.
Realising that most of you who read this aren't also on Facebook, I thought I would repeat it here. I've already done five days out of seven, so I guess I'll split it into two posts.
Day one (29th October):
1. The wonderful people involved with LSE Bees! Despite the rain, we had a brilliant honey festival today (I will put photos on the LSE Bees blog at some point too...)
2. There being a single bus from my house all the way to uni that I can get on rainy days like this, laden with things
3. The freedom to spend my morning icing cupcakes and my afternoon talking to people about bees – I will miss you PhD when you’re gone…
Day two (30th October):
1. Lunch with a friend rather than at my computer
2. Looking forward to dinner with some of my lovely NSEP peeps who continue to delight me so many years down the track
3. My awesome new 'party pants' - if you can't have fun with fashion, what's the point?
Day three (31st October):
1. An inspiring and productive meeting with my co-author
2. Sunny London weather making for an invigorating ride in and a beautiful view out over the city from my office
3. Great new tunes from the 2014 Mercury Prize winners Young Fathers:
Day four (1st November):
1. Bopping out to cheesy music while spending a Saturday in the office
2. Stunning fireworks display in St Albans and having the opportunity to hang with lovely peeps after said day in the office
3. Finally finding the perfect outfit (not) to wear for when I finally graduate (read the reviews, they're hilarious)
Day five (2nd November):
1. A lovely lazy sleep/lie in complete with masala tea from Nepal and listening to the rain beat against the windows
2. Making roasted butternut squash seeds - I really like finding a way to do something with things that you may otherwise have thrown away
3. Buying tickets for next Friday for this completely random cabaret - I'll let you know how it goes!
And that's it so far - stay tuned for the last two days!
