Three Beautiful Things

...
Since I posted the news update from Zimbabwe I haven't felt very inspired to write. Every time I come here I feel wordless, but today I realised that life goes on regardless of wars, deaths or natural disasters.. and so should my blog.

Finding a topic to follow on with is hard, so I have decided to keep it simple.

Three beautiful things that I am very grateful for this week..

#1 You lot reading this. Yep, you! :-)
Your caring replies about the situation in Zimbabwe were greatly appreciated. I have no words to say "thank you" big enough. Knowing people still care helps a lot.

#2 Jelly Beans. :-D
I haven't had a decent jelly bean in Northern Scotland in five years, BUT.. this week I found a shop that sells my favourite jelly belly beans. Admittedly it's 50 miles away, so I'm not going to get a regular "fix", but at the moment I am the ecstatic owner of a 100g bag of beans. Cappuccino, coconut, lemon-lime, peach, strawberry parfait.. all my favourite flavours. I could die happy right now.

# SUN SUN SUN
This week summer finally arrived! We have had sunlight since Wednesday. I have walked outdoors, gardened AND sat outside and toasted myself for three whole days. Today it is a little cloudy, but still sunny enough. I'm going gardening and will not be back here until the rain starts. ;-)

    Garden on, Michelle! Enjoy! I used to find it such a theraputic activity, back in the UK. Can't do it here in Oklahoma - too hot (100+ today)too buggy, too dry.
    Dig a little for me!

    I must try jelly beans one of these days. :-)

    Sounds wonderful. I'm nearing the three year mark of being unable to leave the house for any reason - have become that fragile. Blinds always closed because of migraines. The best things in life are definitely the "little" things -

    Try the fancy flavoured ones. The others are a big sickly sweet, but the fancy flavoured ones are glorious (especially the coffee and cocnut, although the peanut butter and popcorn are a bit weird)
