Sunday Smiles #1 - Sherlock/Cumberbatch Goodies!

Welcome to the first ever Sunday Smiles! I'm so excited to get this weekly post up and running and I'm also pleased as punch that I have something to share so soon!  

But first, I’ll tell you what Sunday Smiles is all about. Like I said in my last post, I'm really keen to write about the little things that make me smile because I think it’s important to remember them. So, every Sunday (hopefully) I’ll share the thing (or things) that have made my week a happy one. Nice and simple. So lets get cracking!  

This week has actually been a bit stressful what with work and bills and all of that other grown up malarkey that makes up my life nowadays.

But yesterday my dad popped round to the flat I share with my sister. He doesn't visit very often and I usually get quite anxious when he does because typically we have a rather strained relationship. To be honest yesterday was no different on that score.

However, my dad does have rare moments of genius and when he says he’ll do something you can trust that it will be done. Never have I been more grateful for that then when I got home from work and found this in my living room:

Yeah. That’s right. It’s a giant Benedict Cumberbatch face. It’s the most brilliantly insane thing I have ever owned and it’s safe to say that I am completely chuffed.

Before you start to think that my dad is some sort of hugely talented artist (to my knowledge he is not) I should probably clarify that this was once on the side of a bus and that my dad works at a bus garage. When the time comes for promo posters to go to the big skip in the sky (as it will for all promo posters) dad gets a chance to rummage through them and save some. Giant-Cumber-Face is the most recent survivor, and the first for a while.

I know exactly what you’re thinking, and you’re right, I'm balancing on the line between sane and bat-poop-crazy. Oh but what’s this?! Turns out dad bought me another present:

The several hundreds of thousands of ‘Sherlock’ fans around the world will know exactly what this is. If you don’t then I strongly suggest you find out before the third series starts. Just trust me on that one.

So this week I smiled because I was given a Giant-Cumber-Face and a Sherlock hoodie to wear whilst admiring it (which is also super useful because it’s sodding cold here.) Thanks daddi-o! 

Well, this was fun! Catch you next time internet!
