2. Lazy afternoon naps

3. Watching test cricket and reading novels in the middle of the day - an absolute luxury

Lots of little highlights

I hope they get back together

2. 3x missed calls in a row from a stranger

2. Cuddles with two gorgeous puppies

3. Planning an exciting trip in November

Movie number 1 - The King's Speech

Best movie of 2011 so far! No, really incredible acting, incredible script and very clever little ways of adding a little bit of humour into an otherwise serious subject.

Things I am grateful for;

1. A friend I can spend the whole day without getting bored. Cambridge girls for life

2. Being able to be honest about my interest in a New Year's boy and letting him down without either of us leading the other on

3. Being able to recognise the appalling behaviour of others and vowing not to stage a repeat act
