Swallows and Amazons: Sunday Smiles ♥

Sunday can be a grim cocktail of a hangover from Saturday evening and the impending gloom of Monday morning, however it doesn't have to be this way! While I am unable to offer a better hangover cure than Berocca and a bacon sandwich, I do hope to bring a small smile to your Sunday, making the thought of Monday morning seem a little more bearable.

Rolling river of truth, Can you spare me a sip, The holy fountain of youth, Has been reduced to a drip

The Killers

Tomorrow I’ll be quicker, I’ll stare into the strobe light, flickering afloat I’ll stay, I’m quite alright hiding today.
Tomorrow i’ll be faster, i’ll catch what I’ve been chasing after and have time to play, I’m quite alright hiding today”

Alex Turner

There’s only a few things in the world that turn me into a giant squid of anger, and one of them begins, ‘My boyfriend thinks I’m too smart for him

John Green

Be bold, be bold and everywhere be bold

Herbert Spencer

Another head aches, another heart breaks, I'm so much older than I can take

The Killers

Where's your passion? Where's your fire tonight?

Twin Atlantic

You will never know just how beautiful you are to me

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart

Thank you very much for reading my blog! I hope you've had a good week, we had the talk about flats for September this week in halls and it has caused some tension. One group of girls came to the table having already decided that they were living together which left the three of us remaining feeling rather excluded.

They don't feel that they have acted tactlessly and personally I find that frustrating but I also know that within my own personality I have the bad habit of sulking and nursing perceived slights to my ego rather than letting go and forgiving. So things are a bit strained here but I don't want our friendship to disintegrate so I am going to have to make a concerted effort this week to forgive and move on.

This is a gorgeous song by the beautiful and exquisitely talented Niki and the Dove, enjoy!
