Latest Favourite Things

It's almost Friday, at the end of another week of writing (a poem and first draft of an essay), work (report writing for a research project), running, dancing, skating and sceptics group. I just can't ever seem to get enough sleep and am about to cry with tiredness, so to get through to the weekend, I thought I should post (a la The Sound of Music) some of my latest favourite things:

1. Morning runs on writing days.
2. My giant sun/rain umbrella with clouds on the inside.
3. My latest acquisitions from Nude Footwear, being some subtly shiny Endless Love peep toes which I shall pair with my Collette Dinnigan frock, and Silverdrops in pink which I will wear with my floaty Sacha Drake dress. Every time I find a new Nude style on StyleTread my heart beats a little faster.
4. The silhouette of the kentia palm against the cream blinds when I stagger up at 6am. There has to be some kind of reward for a non-morning person getting up this early.
5. My new rollerblades. It's hard to look like a girl in skates, helmet and knee, elbow and wrist pads, but I have sourced socks with tiny bows and stripes, and I'm looking for a cute t-shirt to match.
6. My KeepCup from A&S, so I can drink coffee and do a little for the planet.
7. My new phone which, according to H, is like having a Ferrari and driving it around in a paddock. He said the same thing about my laptop and I ignored him then too.
8. Smelling of chocolate when I use Palmer's cocoa butter moisturiser.
9. The hullaballoo of fruit bats along the creek as they unfold themselves for evening flights.

Almost the weekend …
