LEGO! I adore Lego, always have. I’m the kind of adult who will sit down with a box of Lego and go nuts. I’m the kind of auntie who secretly wishes her neices and nephews will get Lego for birthdays and Christmas so that I can make it for with them. So getting this Ninjago Lego set was the highlight of my week.

My desktop, but not the computer screen kind. Earlier in the week I moved some things around and now it looks like this:

Except there should be a blue lamp on the right, but we have a guest staying who’s using it.

And lastly, my new pencil case for university. Originally I was going to sew one but when I saw this I had to get it. OWLS! It came with a matching swimming bag as well, though it’s kid-sized so I don’t think I could even fit my beach towel in it, haha.

I hope you’ve all had a great weekend! Anything exciting happening? Or ordinary, whatever really.

I used to be a bit anti-Valentine’s Day. Well, anti-the commercialisation of Valentine’s Day, which ultimately clouded anything that was actually nice about a day for celebrating love as opening and as cheesily as one wants. But what can I say? I’m crazy in-love with an amazing guy who treats me beautifully every single day. So even without a day like today, I would still feel like the luckiest woman in the world to have such a perfect man! I still wanted to do something a little extra-special today though, because I’ve never ever celebrated Valentine’s Day before. Fortunately he didn’t scrunch up his nose about it.

Both of us are pretty broke at the moment so I came up with the idea of not spending any money. We’d basically have to be creative and use whatever we had on hand to make gifts. I decided to write him a letter and make it look a bit fancy with some fun folding. He wrote me a beautiful poem and made a funny and cute Venn Diagram. We actually ended up giving them to each other on Wednesday because we couldn’t wait and weren’t entirely sure if we’d get to spend today together, which we’ve actually been able to do. We’ve had a really relaxed day, watched TV, made food, etc.

I hope you’re all having a wonderful Sunday and a thoroughly gorgeous Valentine’s Day if you celebrate it. V-Day shouldn’t be just about romantic love, but every kind of love, so we shouldn’t forget to let our friends and family know how much we love them! Much love to all my readers. ♥
