Friday Thoughts (on a Saturday)

I am such a naughty blogger! You can blame The Antipodean Man and his insistence that we stay up late and watch trashy TV for me not posting my Friday Thoughts last night as I had intended to! As usual, please do share your Friday Thoughts in the comments or at your own blog. Unfortunately, I've missed out on Flog yo' Blog Friday but do remember, it's the best link up of the week, so go and check it out!

Currently loving my morning coffee expeditions! This week, I've been catching the train with The Antipodean Man to the next suburb (or actually, it's a village) and treating myself to a huge coffee. It not only forces me to get out of bed in the mornings, which I'm struggling to do at the moment, but it also gives me a feeling of what it will be like to get back to the real world, once I'm employed again.

Currently thinking about my work situation. Still. The latest update is that it should be official next Thursday. After that, there's still reference and credit checks that need to be done. I'm hoping I might be able to start by the 30th.

Currently anticipating my week's holiday in Ibiza! We are leaving on Wednesday morning and I'm so excited! We go every year, to the same little beach side town and we have a week of doing not much at all. The party season doesn't start for another six or so weeks, so Ibiza is still a sleepy little island in the Mediterranean Sea where the most important thing to worry about is what side of the beach gets the most sun and has the best cafe.

Currently watching Friends. It's been my "ironing" show for as long as I can remember and I've had a lot of ironing to do this week!

Currently wishing that we could hurry up and get to summer, pay our big deposit on the flat and get a firm date on completion.

It's oh-so-official!

The Sunday Sessions: For the first time

I have been following Thea on her blogging journey for a while now. We have chatted online through our blogs and on Twitter and Facebook and I would consider her to be a good friend of mine. Thea also hosted a great weekend blog linkup known as The Sunday Sessions. I never participated but I loved to see all of the great music that she and her other friends posted on a weekly basis. A few days ago, Thea mentioned that she felt her time with the Sunday Sessions had come to an end. I was so upset and I asked her if I could take it on over here at Oh Antipodes. She said yes and now it's here!

The premise of The Sunday Sessions is simple:

• There are no rules. 
• On Sundays I play music on my blog. 
• Old or new or in between. 
• Related or not. 
• But always songs I love!

Here are my picks for this week. You can play along by linking up below. Can't wait to hear your picks.

Glee Cast - Stereo Hearts

I'm a huge fan of Glee and even though it's in it's mid-season break and I still have another week to wait to find out what happened to certain characters from the heart-wrenching cliffhanger of the last episode, I still find myself listening to Glee songs over and over and over! Stereo Hearts is my most played song of the week according to iTunes and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

Adele - Set Fire To The Rain

I never "got" Adele. I found her first album was overplayed in London and I wasn't at all interested in hearing her new stuff from 21 - The Antipodean Man and I called it "music to slit your wrists by". When I went out to Australia for the summer, Adele was all the rage and I got hooked on this very song. There's just something special about this girl and I'm glad I finally opened my ears to listen to her.

Friday Thoughts

I originally saw this posted on IROCKSOWHAT, who actually got the idea from another blog, Sometimes Sweet and I think it's a great way to keep track of the week gone by and the weekend ahead and I'd love it too if you'd share your currently's as well in the comments or on your own blog.

Currently loving popcorn! I can't get enough of the stuff lately. I've always loved salty snacks but this week I've been hoovering packet after packet and I honestly can't get enough of it. Thank heavens for the 99p store and their mega packets of popcorn.

Currently thinking about my work situation. I wish I had a definite answer on that job. I know patience is a virtue and all that, but the extra money would definitely come in handy and it would be nice to feel like I have a purpose again.

Currently anticipating prices being released in the development where we are looking to buy an apartment. We have been waiting for about a month now and it looks like there is only one more two bedroom apartment to be bought in the current section before they can release our prices, so hurry up, prospective apartment owner! We've got our deposit and mortgage (gulp!) all ready to go.

Currently listening to Adele, Glee Cast & Nicki Minaj. I've also got something rather musical lined up my sleeve for early Sunday morning.

Currently watching Downton Abbey. I was so late getting in to this series and I really only started watching it because it because all of my other shows were on their mid-season break but I'm so glad I did. My favorite character is the Dowager Countess, closely followed by Carson.

Currently wishing everyone a safe & happy Easter weekend.

This post is my submission to Flog 'yo Blog Friday, hosted by the very lovely Glowless @ Where's my Glow. Please do go and check out all of the other blog entries there, because you can be guaranteed a good read.

P.S. I have some very exciting news to share with you over the weekend. I'll be scheduling a post for the early hours of Sunday morning and I hope that you'll all come and join in the fun.
