Magical Monday

Hi Friends and welcome to another Magical Monday! I hope these share posts are bringing you a little bit of joy at the start of the week : -)

This Monday heralds my second week at my new job - I was at my last job for four years, so I've not been "new" for quite a while! It's been a whirlwind of battling on tubes, early mornings and lots of learning. For a long time now, I've not experienced "Monday Dread" (or "Sunday Evening Dread") and I hope that if any of you feel glum the night before or the morning of the working week, you can remember that a day is just a day. And how wonderful is that? The possibilities are endless...

Monday's Music Share 

I LOVE Florence and the machine. I remember the year before she got big, I saw her on the BBC alternative Stage at Reading Festival. I had followed her on myspace (remember that?!) for a while and was really digging her sound and vibe. None of my friends were that keen, but I was super excited so I just went and watched her on my own. It was fantastic, there weren't that many people there and I had a front row view and just danced and revelled in what I knew would become very special music to me. The following year, she performed at the Radio One stage and it was rammed to the rafters ; -)

I'm loving Florence's latest album, How Big, How Blue, how Beautiful. After several listens, I think Third Eye is my favourite song so far on the album... Load it up, listen in and enjoy your Monday!

Mummy Moose and her babies having a right old jolly time.

I came across this adorable video on Bored Panda - it's of a mother moose and her two calves being cooled down by someone's sprinklers in their garden. I never thought moose (mooses?!) could be cute but oh my gosh - you cannot watch this without getting the serious feels! This really made me smile, their frolicking and joy is definitely infectious.

Watch the moose water dance here!

Dragons!

South African artist Lynton Levengood has created a series of quirky and cute illustrations of dragons in the modern world. With everything from dragons befriending alley cats and sneaking up behind garden gnomes, these beautifully detailed pictures are very much smile-inducing. My favourite one (although it was a tough call1) are these chaps chowing down on some eggs:

Check out the rest of the dragons here.

Baby bunnies - what's not to love?

My last MM share is of a photographer's project of keeping tabs as his baby bunnies grow up. It has everything you could need with regards to small cute fluffy bunnies - tea cups, yawning, fluff. 5 years ago, I accidentally bred rabbits with my housemate (we thought my rabbit was a girl so she bought a girl... Turns out mine was a boy!) and had the pleasure of watching 8 baby bunnies grow up, so this post made me feel very nostalgic!

See more of these gorgeous cute baby bunnies here!

And here is my bunny when he was a littleun at 2 weeks old:

This is him now!

Thanks for reading, chaps! Have a wonderful week - Next Monday, I will be in New York for work! Exciting!
