Three Things I Love #1

Good day, dears!

Today I want to share three things that I love with you. In fact, I think I might even do so on a regular basis just to spread some happiness on my puzzled slice of life. Let me provide a little context. Imagine a line. Pretend that one side is excitement and that the other is worry. Well. I'm walking a tight-rope on that line, you see and it makes me feel slightly nervous. Especially when fresh news means I don't even know where I will be living two weeks from now but hey ho! Life goes on and I've got bigger fish to fry (and eat)...

1. Tomatoes
Probably not what you expected me to say, right? Well it is true. I am a big tomato lover. As a girl, I used to shine them on my lapel and eat them like apples. I love to pick them. I love to smell them when they're all vine-y and earthy and, above all, I love to eat them! (minus the pips because they hurt my gums)... Mmm...
A turbulent tomato frenzy

2. Super funny pictures from 1960s 'Labores Del Hogar' Magazine
Did I ever tell you about the time I lived in the Parallel district of Barcelona and was chased by a semi-naked guy with a leopard-print blanket? Well, it happened. I had just come across a pile of 1960s magazines and was hoarding them back to my grotto when he took chase. Turns out he didn't want no 'blonde tourist bitch' taking stuff from his barrio. Turns out, I got away and kept them anyway. SUCKER.
3. My new purchases!
Sometimes, just sometimes, a girl has to stop buying her shiz from dirty piles on the floor at the market and splash a little cash. As it was recently my birthday, I treated myself to these two gems...
An 'S' brooch, because my name is Sally and don't you forget it.
Oh and a fox-print jumper because I saw it in a boutique in the Gracia district and fell in love with how soft it was and every girl needs an animal-related jumper next season, apparently. I would have preferred cats but you gotta go with the flow sometimes and let these minor details go.

So there you have it. Three happy things. My friend Leila likes cheese. Rebecca finds that dill pickle from Sainsbury's tickles her fancy. What about you? What do YOU like? You might as well tell me because I am unemployed (except for super cool freelance work with Secret Escapes) and I spend a lot of my time eating cake and reading blogs. Go ahead and knock my socks off.
