Two months of winter down and only one left to go! The weather hasn’t actually been that bad, there’s been sunny and rainy days. July has seen some changes, I bought a car and started learning to drive, I’m getting new glasses, and I feel like there has been a shift in my mood and personality. In some ways I am more guarded and I’m very cautious but then there is another part of me that shouldn’t feel ashamed for what happened and be okay with moving on. They say time is a healer and I hope that’s true!
Here’s what made me smile:
July 1: Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer is super catchy!
July 2: Hot chips and Big Mac sauce.
July 3: Cream bun for afternoon tea.
July 4: Phone call with my brother.
July 5: Getting the blog back on track, planned this month’s posts.
July 6: Yummy pie for lunch.

July 23: Put a hold on Still Me by Jojo Moyes at work – I’ll finally get to read it.
July 24: I chose new glasses!
July 25: Nice spot of afternoon tea at work; bread, crackers and bacon and egg pie.
July 26: Dungaree day.
July 27: Much needed sleep in.
July 28: Simple things make me happy.
July 29: Compliments from strangers are so kind.

How did you find Eleanor Oliphant in the end? I still haven’t motivated myself to pick it up, I need to take it on holiday I think to try and finish it!
Sounds like you had a lovely month overall, bargain on the MAC pigment too! x

I liked it and I appreciate how the character was written but it’s not one of my favourite books out of the ones I’ve read in the past year. It is memorable though and I will be curious to watch the film when it’s out xx
