10 things that make us happy
Velouria is made happy by:
- Paris - every single last thing about it, even the bad bits.
- Cocktails, especially daiquiries
- City lights at night
- Stained glass windows with sun shining through
- Stationery - much and varied
- Big funky Orla Kiely patterns, especially on handbags.
- Sunshine
- Finding a pound in your pocket
- Strictly Come Dancing
- Having nothing to do but lie still, eat chocolate and listen to my ipod.
- Inventing long and witty conversations in my head and often letting the associated thoughts show on my face, to the confusion of passers-by.
- Putting my feet into the cold corners of the duvet
- Staring out of the window on trains (especially in tunnels)
- The sound of rain falling on the outside of tents in the middle of the night
- Sudden hail storms on bright days
- Writing, especially if I can crack out a quality pun.
- When my son gets words wrong
- Cheese and onion pasties
- The smell of my own skin on warm days
- Adventures late at night in big cities
Spot the linguist, spot the scientist.
