Feel Good Friday

 My blog posts are getting progessively longer and longer on indieBerries - which kind of makes it difficult to keep up with myself. So, to change it up a little here's a short one:

Sometimes I actually crack myself up to the point of no return.

And here is a list of epic links to make your Friday Feelgood - 

8 questions powerful people ask themselves every day.
An incredible Thai Advert - this will make you want to hug everyone you see.
I've just signed up for this free 33 day online Meditation Course
I love this adaptation of the six degrees of separation to the literary world.
What person are you really - Buzzfeed quiz. (I am the Lawful Good)
15 famous landmarks zoomed out - super cool.
I love this post about your house being your space to learn.
Six lessons for marriage from Rock 'n Roll Bride
22 derpy animals - hilar.
Watch this video on Tails of a mermaid immediately. It will make you want to pack up your things and go traveling this very second.

Have a fab Friday everyone! x

Friday Fun

I started this blog post with no clear direction.

Can you tell already?

(This picture was taken at a bus stop a few weeks ago - waiting outside in the cold. My physio-friend, Lulu told me that if you are desperate to wee, then you need to push on the soft area above your lip and curl your toes and it will help relieve the pressure on your bladder. My hands were too cold to take out my pockets - so the man stepped up to the plate. What a guy.)

Friday is "usually" the day for FUN FACT FRIDAY - but to be honest, I'm getting a little bored of it now. In fact, I get bored of things pretty quickly - It's a miracle I've managed to stay married SO long (10 months). 

So anyway - since I am getting a little bored of FUN FACTS - maybe you are too?! (thoughts?!) Can you believe that I started that series 7 months ago?! That's almost as long as I've been married. Sheesh. Time flies. Maybe I will have to find another series that I'm inspired by again. Maybe FRIDAY FUN! Who knows. Not me. So in lieu of fun facts, I thought I would just tell you some random shizz:

The Husband is away in South Africa at the moment for a wedding - he flew on Wednesday evening. I have predicted various things happening during the time that he is away - 

• My sleeping patterns will drastically change. I am a total night owl - but force myself to "try" go to bed when The Warr does. Last night, I went to bed at 1am...and nearly got back out of bed to go do more "stuff". Oh, it's going to be a slippery slope til Monday. In fact, between now and Monday will probably only be one sleep.
• I will not wash any dishes. OR - more realistically, I will not make anything that requires dishes being washed. Food consumed in this period will likely be: boiled eggs, half a red pepper, spoonfuls of avocado and cereal straight out the box. Actually, that is exactly what I ate yesterday.
• I will attempt all sorts of "things". I have in my mind, an idea to MAKE THINGS WITH FEATHERS. I have no idea what these "things" are. But I just know I want to MAKE SOMETHING. and I want FEATHERS to be involved. More likely, I just want an excuse to visit Hobbycraft again.
• I have booked a yoga workshop on Saturday at the Bikram centre in Wimbledon. Also, if you didn't see my instagram feed - I've been doing some "home-yoga" headstands an all yo. - and I'm keen to have another session tonight! (I've been following videos off this website)

I'M BREAKING UP THIS LOVELY LIST WITH 

A PICTURE OF HUSBAND AND HIS BEARD:

I was trying to take a picture of The Mancakes while he still had his beard,

Me: Ok, now laugh like I've said the FUNNIEST THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD. PEOPLE MUST KNOW HOW HILARIOUS I AM.

He takes direction well - we should probably be in Hollywood.

I forgot where I was going with this.

Hmm.
Am obviously losing my mind without him here.

I have a lot to do today - tons of emails and guestbook enquiries and website stuff and Etsy orders. So I'm going to sign off... but I will leave you with this NUMBER ONE TIP!! (VERY NB): Always, ALWAYS start your blog posts with a clear direction, or you will end up nowhere in a pile of beard. HA HA HA HA HA.

* * * * * *

PS - If you are still desperate for FUN FACTS - you can read a whole bunch here!
Also - I have loved all the banter that went on the indieBerries Facebook Page about the curling cartoon I did! Loads of people sent me the David Attenborough Curling narration - if you haven't seen it, do yourselves a favour and WATCH IT.

Happy Friday!

a great day :)

1. It's a beautiful sunny day in SoKo - the birds are chirping and Spring is coming!
2. I've already done epic morning workout. Score.
3. Lunchtime tofu burgers and badminton in the sun. ("...at least we put the bad in badminton")
4. Good music.
5. Kristi and I re-enacting Black Swan in the park. It was... something ;) hahaha
6. Watching the English Village president ride down the hill in a pedal-powered tram-cart. With a bunch of Koreans in shiny suits running after him. (Should've been there.)
7. DIY Pizza party later. 
8. Korean 'cooking class' to look forward to on Monday! :)
9. I've almost finished my first crochet-attempt scarf, just want to add some fancy buttons ... it's "vintage". haha (cartoon to follow...)
10. It's Friday. Even although I work today, tomorrow and Sunday - it's still Friday ;) (and also because if i've already gotten to 9 on the list, well then there should probably just be 10.)
    

Happy Friday!

A fabulous picture for a fantastic Friday:

This pic was taken by my lovely friend Sarah-Faye on her recent trip to Thailand. 

(I added the fly away bit - don't worry that wasn't magically in the sky)

Isn't it lovely?

"Che, if you ever had a boat, this is what it would look like."

*peace & love*

Friday Braai-day

(The word braai (plural braaie) is Afrikaans for "barbecue" or "roast" and is a social custom in Botswana, South Africa, Namibia,Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Zambia. It originated with the Afrikaner people,^[1] but has since been adopted by South Africans of many ethnic backgrounds. The word vleis is Afrikaans for "meat".

The word has been adopted by English-speaking South Africans and can be regarded as another word for barbecue, in that it serves as a verb when describing how food is cooked and a noun when describing the cooking equipment, such as a grill.^[1] The traditions around a braai can be considerably different from a barbecue, however, even if the method of food preparation is very similar.)

- THANKS WIKIPEDIA-

well... me and open flames are never a good combination. but you can all have yourselves a

LEKKER BRAAI! :) Happy Friday Braai-day!

PS. landed in beautiful cape town this morning - (after having coffee accidentally poured on me by the air hostess. she took me to the back of the plane, gave me some wet wipes and proceeded to compliment me on my [now mocha-coloured] white shirt and fabulously painted toes]). ola the mother city! off to taste wine! :)
