Celebrating the Small Things - 7 June

Once again I am participating in Vik Lit's Celebrating the Small Things bloghop.

Celebrating the Small Things - 31 May

Once again I am taking part in Vik Lit's Celebrating the small things bloghop ... So what am I celebrating this week?

Recently I have been concentrating my efforts on my new Career Development Blog and I have not been writing on this blog too much. However, the upside is that it is because I have been productive both at home and in my writing.

I have managed to maintain a regular writing routine each morning with my cup of coffee (usually starbucks) and I sort out my to-do list and write a few draft pages.

When I started I was concerned about the cost (and addiction) of the coffees (and I still am). but somehow I have developed a rather enjoyable and relaxing routine before work that sets me up for the day. So the main reason I am celebrating this week is finally establishing a productive writing routine.

On a more personal level I am also celebrating:

- new lighting in the flat (Yay, I can see to write)
- first dinner in the garden this year (and hopefully more to come as the weather picks up)
- enjoyable catch up with colleagues
- snickers bar ice creams :) yum

Have a great weekend everyone (enjoy the weather)

Celebrating the Small Things - 24 May

Once again I am taking part in Vik Lit's celebrating the small things... So what am I celebrating this week. After a rather slow week last week this one has been a rather manic one. I am feeling much better so my productivity has shot up to compensate for last week.

1. generally feeling better and having a more productive week;

2. giving the house a full spring clean including windows and walls;

3. finishing my gardening journal designs and looking forward to starting my garden;

4. babysitting the dog and having my other half's parents visiting this coming weekend; and

5. my other half enjoying and using my anniversary gift (awesome!). 

Enjoy the bank holiday weekend everyone!

Celebrating the Small Things - 18 May

It has been a tough writing week. I have been feeling lousy all week as I have a cold. I have just about made it through my normal workday of 8.30 - 5.30pm but adding in my extra writing hours before and after work just seemed impossible. I was drained.

Additionally I have favoured hand-writing draft blog posts in a notebook while sitting comfortably with a warm drink and avoiding my desk where possible.

I have been feeling like this week has been a bit of a write off, but luckily there are still some non-writing things to celebrate (as part of Vik Lit's Celebrating the Small Things Bloghop).

1. You may have noticed from previous celebrate posts I have been rewatching the complete battlestar galactica series in my downtime. This week (due to illness) I seemed to speed through the final season in a matter of days. I couldn't remember the final season at all so it was great to rewatch. However there was a certain hole that it left and so I jumped straight onto the next boxset on my list. Next on my list is Smallville. I have previously seen seasons 1-7  but not seen 8, 9 or 10. So I started rewatching Season 7 to ease me back into it this week.

2. I am looking forward to spending time wuth my other half this weekend. It is our second anniversary tomorrow so I am really looking forward to it.

Have a great weekend, Happy Celebrating!

Celebrating the Small Things - 27 April

Once again I am taking part in Vik Lit's celebrating the small things...



Sorry for being a day late - I am blaming the a to z challenge for my lateness this week. I hope you are all having a great weekend so far.

This week I am celebrating...

1.  The release of Iron Man 3 (looking forward to seeing it as my end of week treat).

2. Getting in some writing time with a starbucks coffee - Yes, it is a bad habit to fall back into (and it is not a habit I can afford or sustain) but it does a wonderful thing of blocking out an hour of undisturbed writing each day when I am not in the house with the Nespresso.

3. Getting a "Thank you" from my boss.

4.  Supporting my other half's healthy eating routine. Successfully. (although I have hidden some crisps where he can't see them).
