TLT: Laughter

Now I've blogged before about my Friday night in, but without a doubt, do I love my Friday nights out more.
I'm not talking about being all dressed up and going out, but instead, FYI looking rather terrible, because nobody cares anyway!

This time yesterday, I wasn't particularly keen on going to FYI, but I ended up up fronting tonight and doing the talk, which I honestly loved. I bought food to bribe them all to be quiet, and it worked, mostly! but what I honestly enjoyed the most about tonight was the laughter. The fact that we spend around half a hour after we've finished tidying up jumping of the stage and acting totally idiots never fails to amuse me.

I'm sitting here just smiling to myself,  just thinking about how much fun can be created by just spending time with some amazing people! There is nothing better then practically not being able to breathe because your laughing so hard. Or running around church dancing to "I'm sexy and I know it" - Complete with the wiggle.

And then there's the conversation in the car home were I've drank so much 7UP you'd think I'd gone crazy.

Laughter is honestly the best medicine. I don't feel like I've smiled and had so much fun in ages. I'm blessed to be able to spend so much time with the people I do. And I'm grateful I have a life were I can laugh.

enjoy some photo's....

TLT: A friday night in.

I spend pretty much every single friday night in church. This is why its such a joy to be typing this in my PJ's, free of makeup and with a large mug of hot chocolate by my side. And its not even 8pm, utter bliss.
Don't get me wrong, I love being at FYI every friday evening, but sometimes I really do just need a break to shut the world out and spend some quality time with my DVD collection. Its such a nice feeling to be sitting here without actually having to think about doing anything else tonight, simply relaxing and spending a hour and a half staring at Aaron Johnson.

                                       

TLT: nothing quite like a letter...

I guess this post is a little overdue considering the length of time ago I actually received this letter, but no time like the present eh?

I thought I'd start my first "TLT:" (The little things) by telling you about the absolutely delightful letter I received from one of my best friends who's away at uni. Its not an exaggeration that this letter actually made my day, more then any tweet, text, inbox or email ever could. See the beauty of a letter is that you cannot just write one on a whim, it requires a fair bit of thought for the content your going to add, then there's the extra hassle of finding a envelope, a stamp and a good old red postbox. So when one does happen to arrive on your doorstep, its lovely to realise someone has gone to that amount of effort to keep in touch and inform you all about the latest goings on in their lives.

A letter is also adorably personal; you can't see somebody's messy scrawl on a blackberry screen nor can you feel the emotion in the words with only the shortened versions and the lack of punctuation that seem to demand attention on the internet. A letter is very old fashioned in the context of today, but that makes me love the idea of them just a little bit more. I nearly cried when I'd finished meg's letter, I'd forgotton just how much I had missed her. Although texts & facebook have kept us constanly talking, I felt with this letter I'd done some listening.

I just need to sit down and write a reply...
