Aslan is on the move

Yesterday was about:
Alarms too early for a Sunday morning, lilac jeans and a cosy cream jumper (a cosy outfit for grey weather outside!), crunching through the Autumn leaves in Autumn boots, daydreaming of Narnia, a trip to Costa, a successful shopping trip, curling up on the sofa with a new book, excitement at Christmas decorations and gifts in the shops, a mince pie and a cup of tea, giggling at An Idiot Abroad, sister time, Mama's homemade Sunday dinner (the first in a very long time!), planning a party with friends, a full tummy, the latest episode of Homeland, sleepy eyes and a long, long sleep.


Today was about;
Breakfast in pyjamas, the Kardashian's on TV followed by a helping of Shrek for nostalgia, tea from a Disney mug, grey skies and drizzle, too many sneezes, blogging confusion, Topshop lusting, wild kittens in the garden, helping in the kitchen, reading and reading and reading, warm cosy blankets on the sofa, doggy cuddles, making plans, nails the colour of the midnight sky (a lazy day)

How to live magically


1. Keep a daily diary
2. Always take a ride on each carousel you see
3. Stop to give coins to every violinist you hear
4. Never pass a lemonade stand without buying a glass
5. Always have a drawing book and pencil handy
6. Take tea every afternoon
7. Scribble down your dreams at dawn
8. Take yourself to the cinema
9. Give a name to all the bumblebees you spy
10. Sleep in pretty nightgowns
11. Read your favourite poetry out loud
12. Write and illustrate your fondest memory
13. Carry your favourite sweeties in your left pocket
14. Wear a locket with faerie dust inside
15. Tie your hair up in ribbons
16. Remember always to be Brave

A list I found on Tumblr a while ago, and have scribbled down in the front of my journal and daily diary. A few words to live by.

For I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and long words bother me


Yesterday was about:
Late starts, cups of tea to wake up a sleepy head, train journeys, an adventure in Glasgow, too much pizza, spending my pennies, a new bag and a new purse to match, wearing duffle coats to keep ourselves warm in the September chill, taking advantage of student discounts, a present for my Prince, a cosy new jumper the colour of pink candy floss and another the colour of pink bubble gum, pretty butterflies to wear in my ears, getting lost in the bookstore, pink lemonade and a giant custard cream (too big for me to eat), stocking up on magazines for the train home, nintendo games like when we were little, sleepy eyes, warming tomato soup and too many sneezes. 


Today was about:
Missing the alarm and sleeping through a lecture, cuddles in bed, breakfast while watching Ugly Betty episodes, a red and white striped t-shirt, competitive xboxing, supermarket shopping trips and full cupboards, cleaning and tidying (a housekeeping day), supernoodles for a student, more sneezes, studying and writing notes, an Amazon order, getting organised, pyjamas in the afternoon, sunshine through the window but grey skies overhead, being cosy, wikipedia browsing, endless cups of tea.

Live by the sun, love by the moon.

Today has been a very lovely day, a day so full of smiles that I fear my cheeks may begin to ache a little if I do not stop soon! It did not start off this way, though, so I for one am very happy as to how it has turned out. You see, I was woken this morning by another early alarm for another driving lesson, which I am getting very bored of! My test is at the beginning of next week, so hopefully all of this driving business shall be sorted very shortly (I have my fingers crossed!). Anyway, here is a little list of reasons why my day has been lovely;

My Prince and I went off for a drive in search of an adventure, and we ended up at the cutest little farm shop and tearoom! Even though it's very close to my house we don't visit enough, but we have made a promise to visit again for milkshakes and cake before we go back to University. After browsing and drooling at all of the lovely treats for sale in the shop we settled down for lunch, hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows for me and a ham and cheese toastie for him (I pinched a bit and can confirm that it was very tasty indeed!). It is always lovely to stumble upon a cute shop or cafe when you're least expecting it.

From the farm shop we also bought a little brown package of animal food and went off to make some new friends! I was a little frightened at one particular donkey who got rather excited at the thought of a bit of food, but I fed him a handful and he let me stroke his soft head and all was well. A little ginger nut coloured Shetland pony didn't want to miss out either, so between my Prince and I we made sure that they both had full tummies by the time we left!

We came home to find that my Mum had baked another of her wonderful cakes, this time a lovely chocolate treat filled with blueberries with glitter and magical stars sprinkled upon the top! It looks wonderful and tastes as good, I have a feeling this one won't last very long at all...!
My sister has come home for the weekend to visit, all the way from London! We went down to visit only a couple of weeks ago but I'm glad that I have the chance to see her again for a while before I head back to Scotland soon (I love you, Big Sister!).
