Ok, so here's the thing. I've been wondering whether to keep up my Friday Fives at the moment - only due to the two following sections which I included before: "5 highlights of the week" and "5 things to look forward to next week". The truth is, I've been feeling a little melancholy lately due to recent events in my life, and I thought it would be hard to find 10 things over the period of about 7 days which I could actually feel positive about.
Turns out I was wrong, though... and it's actually a very positive and worthwhile thing for me to focus on and appreciate the good things that have happened over the last little while, instead of dwelling on some not-so-great events.
So, with that said...


5 highlights of the week

1. Seeing three of my closest friends for a girly weekend in London
2. Afternoon tea in Liberty's on said girly weekend (loose leaf tea, in a beautiful tea pot, with chocolate cake - heaven)
3. Going out dancing on said girly weekend
4. Enjoying rather too much wine with an old friend after work one evening; an old friend who has the ability to make me feel better whenever I see her
5. The ongoing, amazing support from those around me


5 things to look forward to next week

1. In a word: ROME. I'm flying out on Thursday and staying there until Monday - should be amazing and I really can't wait.
2. A friend's housewarming party on Saturday evening
3. Seeing an old, close friend all day Sunday, and doing some shopping and a lot of chatting together
4. A lovely long lie-in on Saturday morning
5. Am I allowed to say ROME again? (I am just so excited...)

How has your week been? What are you up to this weekend?
