Little April Shower

Drip, drip, drop, little April shower - more like April deluge you mean!! The last few days really have been extremely damp haven't they? So much for my sunshine and lollipops post, that one is going to have to go on the back burner until the weather finally clears long enough for me to get writing!

It's on days like today when all you want to do is curl up on the sofa with a cup of hot chocolate, a stack of magazines and a movie to keep you occupied, whilst occasionally glancing out the window in smugness. Sadly I'm at uni, soaked through, with a 4 hour wait until my next lecture, with no hot chocolate and a stack of reading to do (and not the fun kind either). Oddly enough I'm not all that bothered though, which perhaps has something to do with my particular penchant for daydreaming about all the lovely things I can spend my time doing when the sun shines / when I get a spare moment to myself / when exams are finished and it's the summer holidays rather than actually doing any work.

Never mind, it's time to stop procrastinating - onwards and upwards! I would say it will all be worth it in the end, but the fact is the lecture I am waiting and reading for is 100% assessed via essay, so it's rather difficult to get together much of a work ethic where this one is concerned, especially given the fact that I may never need any of this information in my essay!

So I thought I'd leave you with this and hope it makes you at least smile today, if not do a little heel click or a twirl with your umbrella next time you're out in the rain. Come on, we've all been there...

Countryfile for a country bumpkin

Since I was a little girl Sunday evenings have always been reserved for watching antiques roadshow and songs of praise whilst munching through a pile of toast. Sadly as I got older, that tradition became slightly neglected as Sunday evening rehearsals and homework took their toll.

However recently, since being at uni and working on Sundays, I have begun to reclaim my Sunday evenings for relaxing, watching tv and you guessed it, eating toast! Since restarting my own little Sunday evening tradition I have however developed a new and altogether extremely uncool soft spot for countryfile. I know, I know. I'm getting old aren't I?

Now I have to say, I'm not so obsessed with it that I plan my time around being able to watch it, or feel the need to catch u if I have missed it, I just enjoy watching it when it's on. It must be the country bumpkin in me or the fact that it reminds me of home. Whatever it is I'm hooked and will continue to watch it accompanied by a plate of toast to wind down at the end of the week, no matter how uncool that may be. Im a Dorset dumpling and proud!

So what incredibly geeky, uncool, or terribly trashy programmes do you admit to having a soft spot for? I've told you mine, now you tell me yours!
Anyone else got any Sunday evening traditions?
