Thank Frock It's Friday! ♥

If you're clicking here for the first time, WELCOME! Every Friday we celebrate the fact that - ding, ding! - it's Friday, and our favourite things (a devastatingly luscious new winter coat? Cat litter?! Okay, it's probably not the latter...) from the week that was. Here's what I'm currently loving!

x Spur-Of-The-Moment Invitations - It's been 1°C here in Blenheim most days. 1°C! It should be illegal to be that outrageously chilly! Finding magical ways to spend your time when it's f-f-freezing outside can be tricky (because what sane person wants to brave the elements in those temperatures?!), but nonetheless, a girl's got to try her best, right?

Last night I accepted a spontaneous offer to go for a ''spin'' in a gentleman acquaintance's new car, and I'm so glad that I abandoned my dressing gown laziness and did! We explored little-known tracks (me, as we pulled up beside a river: ''uh... it's lucky that I know you, because this area COMPLETELY looks like 'Rape Alley'!'' Jeremy: (110% joking) ''Oh, don't worry... you're one of the lucky ones who'll make it out alive. Muahahaha!''), caught up on eachother's recent-history (it'd been two months since I'd randomly met him at a house-warm party), and laughed. It was an excellent way to spend an otherwise-dull Thursday evening!

x Booking Tickets To Christchurch -  May I suggest that when your town/city seems boring... you leave it? No, not permanently (unless you want to, of course!), but at least for a day or two? With zero plans on the horizon for next week, I decided to book a trip to Blenheim's neighbour, Christchurch, and I can't wait! (Psst, Christchurch locals! Although I'll be spending the majority of the getaway with my beautiful friends Craig and Georgia, if you'd like to catch up for a hot chocolate/burger/vodka, let me know!  I'd love to meet you!)

x Other Little Things - Perfectly-cooked salmon (oh. My. GOODNESS. Are you a salmon fan? I can't believe that I spent 25 years convinced that I despised it, when I'd never even tried it! A piece of fresh salmon, oven-baked, no exaggeration, is TO-DIE-FOR); delightfully-daggy music (Smokie's 'Living Next-Door To Alice'. Honestly, how can you not sing along to it?!); cute, daily e-mails from my mother (''are you eating enough? When did you last eat? I know you're unwell, but please make sure you EEEAAATTT!''); text messages from a peculiar (but mostly harmlesss... I think. I hope?!) 19 year-old boy (''face it, Corrine. Whether you like it or not, I'll always be here for you. We are friends for life!'' Oh, really?);  grinning at strangers; silent conversations (it sounds wacky, but I had one the other day, whilst out and about on a morning stroll. I encountered a sweet-looking elderly man; we beamed at eachother, and I swear, PURELY from our glances, we were able to convey ''jeez, it's arctic out here, isn't it?'' ''Yes! Go home and stay warm!''); and vegetarian hot dogs!

♥

Happy, happy Friday! How was your week? I hope it's been an outstanding one!
