Celebrate the Small Things

Celebrate the Small Things is a weekly bloghop hosted by Viklit over at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author. The idea is to post anything you want to celebrate from the last week.


This week I'm celebrating:

- Porridge. I've never appreciated it so much before. I usually get the pots that you only have to put hot water in, since they're so convenient for taking to work, but I made home-made porridge on Tuesday and it was delicious. It's just what I need with all this wintry weather - it warms me right up. 

- My new favourite drink, a nutella, banana and oat smoothie from this recipe. I've never had a blender before, but Joe (my mum's boyfriend, who we moved in with last December) has one, so I've been having some fun with it. This recipe is by far my favourite, for now at least. 

- I spent some time with my sister on Wednesday, making flapjacks and watching Shrek 2. I love spending time with her, but I don't get to much since I moved. 

- New work hours! Remember my last post, where I said that I was getting really tired because of my 5.00am shifts? Well it turns out they need someone to start later and work later a couple of days a week, and that someone is me! I start at 9.00am on Monday and I'm ridiculously excited about it. That's a whole four hours after my usual starting time. It's only a couple of days a week, but three 5.00am starts a week is far better than five.

  1. Glad you got a later shift!
    Your first experience with a blender? That's wild. I guess we've just always had one.

  4. I have a blender, but I don't think I've actually ever used it.

    My shifts usually start at 9am. I love the earlier ones, though, because when I get out of work, the sun is still out and I have time to do other things.

  5. Yay for your shift change! I think I'd be a bot at 5 am. Granted, it's been a long time since I HAD to be anywhere at that hour. If I pull an all nighter its not so bad...

  6. Sounds like an interesting smoothie. I got a blender for Christmas years ago, and I've never used it... Glad you got a change of shift. Having to be at work at 5am is inhumane. Leaving work at 5am is inhumane too.

  15. I probably should know but is porridge like oatmeal? I think I used to know. I just started cooking oatmeal instead of pouring water in it and sticking it in the microwave. It just tastes so much better and I sprinkle it with cinnamon. Post the recipe for the smoothie. I like bananas.

    I'm a MJ tech too.

  16. Great news about your new shifts, it's no fun starting work at 5am. And the smoothie recipe looks intriguing, may have to check that one out.

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend :-)
