Things I Love
It’s raining cats and dogs. Again.
They say it’s the worst summer on record (and the Queen’s Garden Party was definitely a damp squib).
The wet weather has drowned a large portion of puffin hatchlings, wiped out the breeding season for the already struggling butterfly population, and hit farmers hard. The season of bounty this is not.
BUT, I hear it’s bound to get better. So to lighten up grey skies, here are some things that make me shiny-happy.

A-step-by-step-dorable.
Unusual Words, beautifully designed
Enantiodromia is a very interesting word. Hamartia is wonderfully rendered.
The Project Twins are very clever.
Cosmic by Frank Cottrell Boyce
We read bedtime stories in our house. It’s a nice way to unwind, even for grown-ups . It all started with serious, adult things but right now we are reading the book I give to every dad in my acquaintance.
Sure, it’s aimed at 9 year olds. That only makes it better, trust me.
Claymation fish in a bowl of noodles. What’s not to love?
Awesome 🙂
