What are you doing this weekend? Tonight we’ll have people over for pizza and green salad, and on Sunday we’ll go to our friend’s baby’s baptism. (What would you suggest bringing as a gift?) I hope you have a good one, and here are some fun links from around the web…
Who wants to hang out This fishing hut in Scotland???
My spring essential for bike rides, night walks and lounging at picnics.
Banana with chocolate chips cake.
have you seen the teaser for Dolly Alderton’s new Pride and Prejudice? Digging the soundtrack of birdsong.
We desperately need a new living room rug. (The current one has been destroyed by children). I’m thinking about Ruggable washables —Which one do you like more? blue either plush?
I wasn’t planning on watching. Love story – the Hulu series about John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette – but people are raving. Have you been looking?
Plus, two styles with Carolyn vibes: classic watch and very cool headband (either This).
If you want a good song for the weekend, here you have a great cover from “Such Great Heights” from the Postal Service.
How cool are these commercial illustrations? From the 1960s and 1970s?
This headline It made me laugh out loud.
Also, four comments from readers:
Jasmine says about what inexpensive things make your life easier in winter: “I have a trick to increase comfort: I keep my hairdryer near my bed, then I turn it on and drag it under the covers right before I get in. So toasty!”
Sarah recounts how her weekend was: “My mom once received a fortune cookie that threatened, ‘CLOSE YOUR DOORS TONIGHT.’ How sick is that?!?!?!”
What Deb says about this new cookbook is crazy: “Years ago, I heard about a family whose mother was suddenly admitted to the hospital. The caretaker decided to simply cook the dirtiest pages of the mother’s cookbooks, and the kids were happy.”
Colleen says, “My father died almost 27 years ago, a week after his 60th birthday. When my husband traveled to Florida to see him for the last time (my father was in hospice care), my father could barely speak, but he looked at him and said, ‘Please take care of my baby.’
