Even More Stuff I Like
Feb. 22nd, 2016 09:03 pm16. Chocolate. With apologies to those who are abstaining at the moment. I am not averse to receiving a box of chocolates, but by preference I will have straight milk chocolate: bars, Aeros, Twirls, Flakes, Chocolate stars, Chocolate buttons, Freddos.
17. The colour Blue. Given the choice I will always head for blue clothing. Apart from when I’m deliberately choosing something bright – see point 8, socks. Also point 6, raspberry drinks – but then raspberries should not be blue. Most of my work clothes are blue. A lot of my leisure clothing is blue. My favourite colour has always been blue.
18. The colour Red. There are certain items of clothing where I don’t choose red. My winter coat – wool, duffle-style with hood plus zip – is bright red. Cheerful on a dull day. My waterproof is red – I had to buy a man’s because women apparently don’t wear red. Cheerful on a wet day. And so are my winter pjs. Also cheerful.
19. Animal Bags. I have a handbag, generally for when I’m away somewhere and just want to carry my phone and wallet (and passport if it’s that sort of place). I have a bigger handbag for going out for the day in the car. I have a cross body bag (satchel style) for going up to London or where I’m going to need to carry stuff all day. And I’ve just bought a new backpack for overnight stops.

20. Returning television programmes. Mostly American, so technically I suppose shows. Person of Interest and Sleepy Hollow are both back this week. Hooray! And Grantchester is back the week after. Although it’s scheduled to run immediately before the double episode of PoI, which isn’t idea. I may have to watch it on catch up.
21. Earning badges on Fan Flashworks. Now up to 58. Here are the four I’ve earned this year, included the Gold SBIGTTS (Writing) which I’ve been trying to complete for ages.

22. Call the Midwife. Perfect Sunday evening viewing. A strong female cast and although there is a feel good nature to the programme, it doesn’t hesitate to include the realities of life. And there’s humour too. This week Briony Hannah was brilliant.
