Weekend Reads

YAY! It’s Friday! This week has felt LONG. I’m still working on my Washington guide, I can’t decide whether to do one long one or a couple of shorter posts. This weekend involves some lazing time and some DIY (is it even the weekend if you don’t DIY?). What are you up to?

Anyway, here are some great posts from across the web.

The story of tolerance and the Moomins

Here’s what happened when I quit drinking.

Women get picked on for every little bit of their appearance when in the public eye. SO I don’t feel bad sharing this illustrated history of Donald Trump’s hair.

First up, I have to share the above picture with you. Spotted whilst walking the dogs, I LOVE it. I’m not normally a graffiti fan (mostly, because it makes zero sense and where I live 9 times out of 10 is vulgar) but this was such a nice, positive message, beaming out in quite a secluded and grubby area.
