Wise Words...

Last night as I crawled into bed next to my already fast asleep boyfriend around 2am I channel surfed and happened across the end of an interview with Stephen Hawking. Not my usual sort of feature to watch on TV but I needed something to send me off to sleep and this was perfect.

As I tried to get comfortable, tossing and turning in the the heat, Spence lying on his back feet in the air snoring away, the interview concluded with 3 pieces of advice Hawking has given his children;

"One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it," he said. "Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away."

Okay, Okay universe! I get it, giving up work was not the smartest idea I've had...but I appreciate you getting Stephen Hawking to tell it to me straight....meh.

Check out the full interview with Diane Sawyer here.

Emily Loves Richmond.

After this morning's little note i decided it was high time I peeled myself off the sofa, got changed and went out to enjoy the sunshine I was drastically begging for a few days ago. After taking Spencer for a little walk (it's too hot for him right now) I dusted off Richmond, my Raleigh Richmond bike, and set off to the river for a little adventure. Still not feeling in a chatty mood I wore no make up and no deodorant, hence no pictures of little old me- ha!














Hope you all have a beautiful sunny weekend. I'm on my own for the next couple of days so I intend to snuggle with Spencer, watch a few films and chill before festival season kicks in next week, outfit posts to come.

I would just like to note apart from today, I always wear deodorant..!!

Lists for the unemployed.

Lists, I love them and in 9 days time I shall be officially unemployed (by choice)and my list of things to do is ever increasing. I actually think I'm just petrified of being bored so in preparation I've started my "list for the unemployed" and it goes a little something like this....

Make a quilt

Start gardening

Re-do our window boxes (more pansies)

Finish the dining room with charity shop/vintage pieces

Paint our bedroom

Keep on running

Volunteering

Teach Spencer to "high five"

Research and prepare for teaching interview.

After several years of shift work I think this list should really have catch up on sleeeeeep as the first point, but making a quilt sounds like fun : )

I wonder how long it will take me to stop waking up in a panic every 3am thinking I'm late?

Of course there are more important things to worry about like bill paying and not being able to go within a 5 mile radius of Topshop but I LOVE a challenge.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

Speaking of bangs, I've got some (fringe to everyone else!) will post pics tonight.
