Things to smile about this week:1. Going to see Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows: Part 1 tomorrow. That’s right people. My name is Nell and I’m a Harry Potter nut. A serious nut in fact. Luckily I have a partner in crime in this passion. My Mum. We’ve both read all the books about 6 times, we stood in line at midnight to buy them and I booked our tickets to see the film about 2 months ago. I can’t tell you how excited I am.
2. The prospect of getting to meet our newest nephew on Sunday. We’re heading off on a little day trip with B’s parents so I’ve been busy knitting up some treats for him.
3. Seeing the Coca Cola “Holidays are Coming” advert on Tuesday evening. Yes, I know it only reflects the commercial side of Christmas, but I can’t help but freak out when I see it. A text conversation ensued between my sister and I exclaiming how awesome it was. Thank goodness there’s someone else out there as lame as me.
4. Receiving two lovely emails from the two lovely ladies who received my letters at the beginning of the week. They made my day, proving this letter writing malarkey is totally worth it.
5. And it may be a bit soppy but you know what, the royal engagement made me smile too. B’s far more cynical about the whole thing and thinks it’s only been announced to butter everyone up before yet another week of budget cut announcements, but I can’t help it. It’s the old romantic in me. Plus I can’t get over how big and bouncy Kate’s hair is. Sod being the future Queen of England, I just want her hairdresser please.
Enjoy HP! We'll probably see it when the crowds die down so no spoilers please :D I too am fascinated by this royal engagement but Mr. G (who is a Brit) just rolls his eyes! It looks like we still have weddings on the brain afterall :D
ReplyDeleteAh! Nell you're so cute ! Once again, lovely post... I'm excited for you about Harry Potter and meeting your nephew...babies are so sweet :) and then yay the holidays are coming and I'm with you on that one, it's the best time of the year, I love it. Lastly, I was really excited too for Williams and Kate, I don't know, they look really cute together and somehow a normal solid couple...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend xoxo
Oh, the Harry Potter covers are so different-enjoy the film! I can't wait to watch it either!
ReplyDeleteAnd as for Coca Cola holiday commercials-I'm so excited to see them!
Yay! I absolutely cannot wait to see HP. Of course, I am working all weekend, so I'm just going to have to be patient! I was also very excited about the Royal engagement, poor Kate must be just sighing in relief after 8 years! I secretly wish I was in England right now to soak up all the romance, it just isn't the same here in Australia!
ReplyDeleteI hope you love Harry ... my friends went to the midnight session and LOVED it.
ReplyDeleteMy Hubbie is from England and when I told him that their was a Royal engagement he laughed and said "as if anyone really cares" Well ... I personally am looking forward to getting my hands on a Royal Wedding plate or teaspoon ... and I have no doubt that I am not the only one! Have a great weekend!!!!
i think perhaps we'd be fast friends in real life...I LOVE YOUR LIST!
ReplyDeletei cannot WAIT to see HP! omg.
Ooh, Harry Potter! I've fallen behind and haven't watched the last two movies. I must remedy that so I can see this one on the big screen.
ReplyDeleteLetters in the mail are such a pleasure! Nothing better than a handwritten note.
Wills and Kate - I think the news is lovely. They seem so perfect together. I too couldn't get past how great her hair looked and how slim she was in that gorgeous dress. Can you imagine how she must feel now? "One day, I'm going to be the Queen of England." How surreal.
I hope you get to meet your nephew! Babies are the best. Have a great weekend, Nell.
I really hope you enjoy Harry Potter tonight! I thought it was amazing! I'm looking forward to seeing it again in the week sometime, I just need to find someone to drag along! Haha :) Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me of the coca cola's holiday thing :) I had forgotten about it - i think thats one thing i'm missing!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of things to look forward to. And you know what? I am way excited about the royal engagement too. It's ok to be romantic :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, honey! xoxo
Oh dear! We are so alike! I am seeing Harry Potter tonight. And I'm giddy about the engagement :)
ReplyDeleteWasn't Part I amazing!! I saw this midnight showing, and just like you got our tickets a few months ago!! How could we not be so obsessed with books as amazing as these!
ReplyDeletethose are lovely things to smile about! happy weekend!
ReplyDeletei love letter writing too! glad that you still believe in snail mail, i think we're in the minority now <3
ReplyDeleteIf I saw that commercial I would have gotten really excited too! I love holiday commercials :)
ReplyDeletei am the only person in the world that hasn't read Harry Potter (yet!) and i admit i loved hearing about the royal engagement! x
ReplyDeleteYou`ve just inspired me to buy the Deathly Hallows as I still hadn`t got around to reading it. Im now up to the 8th chapter and can`t put it down. Man, i love these books! x
