Spring! So over Winter, am enjoying Scotland's attempts at sunshine and warmth, longer days, some beautiful sunsets over lochs in beautiful Argyll, daffodils everywhere, the first blossoms on the trees in our street, not having to wear enormous coats and hats, tadpoles in the pond, blue tits in the garden, seedlings and catkins and bright colours popping up all over the place.

Charlie Brooker - I'm rather obsessed with Mr Brooker, undisputed king of misanthropic TV criticism. In fact he's kind of become the third person in my relationship, my boyfriend and I spend an inordinate amount of time either watching old episodes of Screenwipe online, looking forward to the next episode of Newswipe, or reading his rather brilliant journalism collections (yes, we are all kinds of tragic). Trust me, Charlie Brooker is right about everything.

Tumblr - Loving Tumblr right now, especially just browsing images that other people find inspirational, I could do that for hours (heck, I've been known to do that all day long!), my tumblelog is over here and is a bit of a mis-match of images, quotes and poems I love, a few of my own photos there too - more on my flickr - really want to get into photography more, will have to convince the boyfriend to lend me his DSLR.

Honourable mentions - // Italo Calvino's dazzling Invisible Cities // Carmex lip balm in a tube // finding old letters // super-cheap g&t's with good friends in Glasgow pubs // Belgian fruit beers // this cocktail // these hats // crunchy organic peanut butter // dreaming about living in treehouses // bamboo knitting needles // DIY Moleskines //


...wondering what Things I Love Thursday (or TiLT) is? Well, it's a chance to remind yourself of all the good things that have been putting a spring in your step over the past seven days, and for someone prone to a certain degree of prematurely jaded curmudgeonliness, I thought I could do with a weekly dose of enforced positivity! Take a gander at blogger-extraordinaire Gala Darling's site (who initiated TiLT and is the definition of fabulous).
