"Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence."

David Byrne

Sleep is a luxury the last few nights. Must stop thinking about anything.

All the Penroses and future Penroses are in the building! Had a beautiful second Christmas, feel lucky all over again! Ready for a fun filled weekender with Team Penrose!

• DIY Christmas: Embroidered T-shirts

I'm thinking of some things to do throughout the year, as a challenge. Haven't thought it through fully yet.

"Holding people away from you, and denying yourself love, that doesn't make you strong. If anything, it makes you weaker. Because you're doing it out of fear."

This time yesterday I was in Cambridge, meeting up with Mum's side of the family. Had such a good day, and Cambridge is such a beautiful place. Was really lovely to see family I don't get to see very often as well. Just waiting for it to be Friday now, so my Brothers' and their fiances are due to arrive at Birdie Close!

Daisy Eau So Fresh

Opened Daisy Eau So Fresh yesterday, it still smells delicious.

So lovely!

Massive Cath Purse

Got this beautiful, massive Cath Kidston wallet for Christmas! So now I won't lose my purse in my massive bag, as you don't know how many heart attacks I've nearly had! So massive keys and massive purse, heart attacks should be less.

Percy Pig the Blackboard aka Chalky

And naturally the first thing I decided to draw on it was glasses and a scar, so it looks like Harry. Loving it!

Ozzie Owl

Say hello to Mum's Christmas present: Ozzie Owl the puzzle!

Took us about 2 hours to put it all together, seriously loved it though!

I had such a good Christmas yesterday! It was really quiet, but still a laugh with only 4 of us. Big thank you for my presents! Really love them all. Now Christmas is over though, its all about my birthday haha! Only 3 weeks away!

Seriously having issues with sleeping at the moment. I don't know if its because I'm not doing work, but I generally cannot sleep until about 3am, which means I sleep most of the morning. Very weird sleeping pattern... And still can't handle the heat of a non-student house.

But its Christmas day tomorrow! Doesn't really feel like it though.

Happy Birthday to my Pops!!
