yesterday i had one of those ‘my brain won’t absorb any information no matter how hard i try’ days whilst in a university. i ended up drifting off in my lecture, and coming up with a list of things i’d rather be doing instead of sitting in a chilly lecture room, like…
- drinking hot chocolate out of my favourite mug
- watching lovely childhood films like 101 dalmations, mrs doubtfire, and elf
- taking a trip to a zoo or an aquarium
- sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea, watching the cooking channel
- shopping for candles, lipsticks, and bubble bath
- selecting sweets for a bag of pic and mix
- taking a trip up to the big pond to feed the ducks
- rereading the harry potter books for the fifty millionth time
- wandering around the british museum
- filling the house with fairy lights and candles, and turning off all the other lights
- baking cupcakes, and then letting loose with the frosting, sprinkles and chocolate buttons :)
- picking out a christmas tree and decorating it, even though it’s only october!

what’s on your ‘instead of being at work/university/school, i wish i were…’ list? :)

wearing a brand new cream coloured cardigan out on a dog walk is basically the worst idea ever. learn from my mistakes- don’t do it!
on that note, you’ll suddenly understand why seasoned dog owners have ‘dog walking clothes’ in dark, mud-proof colours ;)
sometimes pups have ‘demon’ days, where they forget everything they once learnt about housetraining, want your undivided attention 24/7, and eat all sorts of disgusting things that make you retch (big juicy slug, anyone?) these days aren’t your fault, and you just kinda have to weather the storm…:)
puppy teeth and knitwear are not the best of friends…
you basically won’t ever need to sweep your kitchen floor again, because dogs = furry vacuum cleaners. and it’s brilliant!
7am at this time of year is pretty dark and chilly, but the sunrises are beautiful :)
puppies smell like popcorn and milk and cuteness 95 percent of the time, and bum the other 5 percent of the time…
squidgy puppy rolls are the cutest thing in the world :)

dog owners, please feel free to share your best ever tips for stress free dog owning in the comments below! i wear brand new clothes out on muddy puppy walks, so i quite clearly need all the help i can get ;)…

p.s. i know i’m his owner and so am totally and utterly biased, but i think this photo of little ted is basically the sweetest thing ever to have existed in the history of the world…;)

…his sleep talking is comedy gold! :)

jase went to bed before me on saturday night, and when i joined him i had the following conversation with my snoozing man:
jason: what was that banging noise?
me: dunno. it was outside.
jason: i think it was a potato falling from the sky.
me: was it really?
jason: no. it was a bald eagle. lost on its way from america.
me: hahaha!
jason: don’t laugh. 
me: are you being serious? you are actually asleep aren’t you, you’re not mucking around?
jason: it wasn’t a bald eagle, i made that bit up. it was just a sparrow.
oh that man, he does make me laugh!
