Things I Love Thursday
- My new nib, my new nib, my new nib! I’ve always liked italics, but this is the first premium quality one I’ve had: it was definitely worth it.
- Montblanc ink - the ones I’ve tried have all shaded nicely, behaved well in pens, and come in rather cool bottles
- Getting letters
- My wonderful Mother, for many reasons
- Having all my hair purple again

Things I Love Thursday
- Two day ‘working’ weeks, although of course I do way more work when I’m not at university because I can work in longer blocks, and eat biscuits.
- Chocolate covered Hobnobs
- Taking the rats for a trip out for no real reason
- Book sales
- My ‘poetry shelf’ now spanning three shelves
- Foggy mornings
- Suddenly noticing that at some point over the last few ( Read more... )

TiLT
I wrote it on Thursday, mostly, I just didn't post it. It still counts.
- Being me again - by which I mean going to university during the day, reading for most of the night. I don’t have to try to be something I’m not any more. On a superficial level, that includes having my hair dark purple again (although I redyed it last week, but it still ( Read more... )

Even in darkness, there can be happiness
This will be another short TiLT, I think, because I’m quite tired and again, not much has happened this week.
- That I’m feeling better today than I have been most of this week.
- Writing long LJ posts, even if nobody reads them.
- That it’s finally October
- That it’s Freshers’ Week next week, and then the official start of term
- That even though I eat ( Read more... )

TiLT
Short list of things I’m loving this week, as I can’t think of very many new things. I don’t think anything’s really happened this week.
- The fact that I’m getting quite good at being invited to interviews now. I must be doing something right, even if I do struggle to prove that I’m British*.
- The fact that I actually know where my next interview’ ( Read more... )

Things I Love Thursday
This week’s TiLT is an interesting one, because it’s a Thursday on which I actually feel cheerful (for some reason, Thursdays usually aren’t good for me, and never have been, although conversely, a lot of the best things have happened to me on Thursdays. I first met FL on a Thursday, for example).
Anyway, this week I’m loving:
- Basil and Phlebas ( Read more... )

Things I love Thursday
This is likely to be a mostly superficial edition of TiLT, but a bit of superficiality never hurt anyone, I figure.

My giddy aunt, is it really Thursday already?!
TiLT for this week: it's been a good week, surprisingly, so this might be long.
- Mega love to my New University for giving me a departmental postgraduate award - it's wonderful to be thought worthy of these accolades, and even more wonderful to be given them before I've even started there!
- Having an extra layer of purple shininess setting on my ( Read more... )

Trying to remember to love my life
I think this is my first TiLT in a couple of weeks, as things have been hectic and generally unfun in TTK-land recently. It's amazing how much time and energy it takes going to the hospital every day, as well the amount of effort looking after the house and household effectively alone, so I'm usually far too tired to do anything other than ( Read more... ) -
TiLTing it up, baby
- Finding my travel mug and taking a travel mug of tea everywhere with me
- Downloading new music and playing it on repeat
- Watching the hens getting tamer and tamer
- Making my own food - the cupcakes are now perfect, and the scones were nice, but needed a little work.
- Hearing from my favourite person ever, especially when I don't get to see him any more ( Read more... )
