Day 28 of 28.

Day 28 of Three Things February. Monday 28th February.

Oooh its the final day of Three Things February. Well done to everyone who took part for the whole month, whether it be through blog, twitter or blog comments. Remember it was SarahRooftops who came up with the initial idea. I await to see what her next blog plan will be. My final day of February has been spent indoors. I haven't left the house once.

01. Bunting.
The Hello Kitty bunting I've been making today. I ran out of fabric before the last flag so might be a while before it is finished.

02. Remote Control.
Makes life so much easier. Pathetic I know.

03. Twitter.
Have spent quite a while on Twitter today. Just 5 more minutes turns into an hour each time.

Goodbye Three Things February. See you in 2012.

Forgotten Day. Three Things.

Ok, I missed a day yesterday. I blame SarahRooftops though, as she made me lose time, and as she is the creator of Three Things February I get away with missing a day. You're welcome.

Three things for yesterday. Day 18. Friday 19th February.

01. Garlic.
Garlic cloves, garlic bread.

02. Visitors.
SarahRooftops from Among the Chimney Pots fame came visiting for the evening along with Steve her lovely boyfriend. Food, garlic, wii.

03. Ice Magic.
Mmmmm far too much of fake Ice Magic on far too much ice cream.

Three Things February.

I've tried listing a product a day. I failed. I've tried eating a piece of fruit a day. I failed. I've tried walking at least 1 mile a day. I failed. Pretty sure I will be able to manage this. Unless I have some sort of finger catastrophy, my brain falls out or I lose all interweb connection I will manage to do #3thingsfebruary every day this month.

It's all the idea of Sarah Rooftops and the idea is to simply find joy and good things in every day life. Sometimes days are long, drawn out and full of stress but there must always be something that can make you smile. In the case of this project, there must always be 3 things that can make you smile.

In Sarah's words (she explains it better) "These can be big events or exciting news; they can be silly little jokes or fleeting, seemingly insignificant moments; they can be pretty sights, nice smells, compliments, ideas, anything at all as long as they put a smile on your face."

Tuesday 1st February. Starting off a bit bus themed.

01. All Day Bus Pass. Today I loved my all day bus pass from Lothian Buses. I don't often hear people praising the Edinburgh bus services but their £3 all day pass is excellent value. Today I went on 9 buses so it saved me a massive £7.80. I like this.

02. People Watching. One of the advantages of travelling by bus is sitting on the top deck and people watching, I could people watch all day and never get bored of it. I particularly enjoyed looking into basement offices on Queen Street and seeing one guy with a picture of Jedward on his desk?

03. Being Thanked. Getting on the bus on Lauriston Place there was a lady struggling to get off the bus as the hoards hadn't waited for her to leave before cramming on. She had a pram with a sleeping child in it, and was also carrying a baby. I took the pram to the pavement for her while she carried the baby off. She thanked me and told me that I was the first person to ever offer her help since she had been in Edinburgh. It's nice to get thanked although I felt quite bad embarrased the rest of the bus just sat and watched her struggle.
