I had a stroke in November last year and struggled obviously to turnover afterwards, but I need to know the time so this projection alarm clock is absolutely amazing so so much so I ordered a few for other rooms. I have it projected onto my ceiling off my bed, so all I need to do is open my eyes at night and I immediately know what the time is.

My £19.99 kettle. It's transparent and lights up blue as it boils. I've had it about 9 months now and it's still entertaining me.

I've got some supplements capsules in little glass jars on a shelf and they look so decorative. (Jars and supplements from Nothing Fishy).

I recently bought some socks from Lands' End. They are plain and nothing special to look at but they are lovely to wear.

Books. Recently read two fantastic novels: American Dirt, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Luxury food. I recently went to a fancy butcher and bought some beef and made it into a casserole for DD1 and I.
She loved it.

I think we have this kettle too! Given it by my in laws, I would never have picked it myself but I do find it amusing to watch
