And other things that make me happy.

A goodnight of sleep has helped my mood considerably, also I suspect deciding to take the weekend off from any farm/work activities is also a part of that. I’m doing wonderfully mundane housework stuff, a few loads of washing, sorting the pantry etc. but mainly what I’m doing is giving myself permission to nothing if I want. So far I’ve played some video games, read a comic, eaten too much cheesecake, and pottered about in bare feet… and not wearing boots and work socks definitely makes me happy.

I’m also still in the honeymoon phase with my new sofa that arrived yesterday.

It’s gloriously impractical and strikes fear into the hearts of those that want “a nice practical seat to get in and out of”. It’s plump and white, and has more in common with a bed than sofa and it makes me happy.

And the bouclé upholstery fabric is a great match for these original 70s floor cushions I purchased at an estate sale years ago. I’m less concerned with colour than I am with texture these days, and these irregular woven loops are definitely making me happy.

Everyone needs a soft place to land or to quote the Cornershop classic: Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow…
