1. Just ordered a tshirt from Vistaprint with a pic we uploaded, background and text of my choosing for only £2.59, including shipping.

2. Happily enjoying a Candy Corn scented Yankee Candle. Smells good enough to eat.

1. Enjoyed my yoga class this morning.

2. Needed to do a big grocery shop and we were doing it at a new store because I'm over the customer service at our usual place. It wasn't nearly as expensive as I was afraid it would be and the guy at the till was super nice!

1. I went for an unplanned run this morning and saw an hour-long sunrise over the Thames for the entire run (omg! photos here)

2. We spent the weekend in Sheffield so I had a poached egg from Our Cow Molly as my breakfast this morning. Sooooo tasty straight from the chickens! Almost as good as the ice cream, mmm.

How would you begin to choose which ice cream you want? Other than the rhubarb & custard (allergic to rhubarb and it says they use real rhubarb) and liquorice (I'd rather have my head kicked in than taste it) I think I'd want to try them all.  ;D

The sunrise pics are gorgeous!

Heehee! They didn't have all the ones on their site at the shop that day, which made it easier. I had Bakewell Tart and Cora's Chaos, but I also got to taste the cherry cola (omfg!!), mojito sorbet, and lemon & ginger from my friends' cones. My friend was saying he hates licorice but LOVES their ice cream version!

1. Had a gingerbread latte at Costa this morning. Mmm...

2. Friends coming over later and we're out to the pub. Deciding if I want to be a hippie or a medieval bar wench. It mostly depends on the weather, since the bar wench outfit cost over $200 including shipping, when I was still in the States.

3. My book arrived today! I've been getting the 'Clan of the Cave Bear' series from Amazon, free with Amazon vouchers 'bought' with Swagbucks, and the 4th one arrived today. I've been finding them in next to new condition for 1p plus £2.80 shipping, but considering they are free to me, it is an even better bargain.  ;D

1. Flight booked to visit one of my BFFs in St. Louis in December.

2. Flight booked to visit another BFF in Portland, OR in January.

3. Packages my mom sent to me arrived today!

Now I just need to keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't snow when I'm supposed to fly!  :)
