Spruced-Up Friday!

Cherry blossoms in Dublin, Ireland

Hey, friends! How are you? It’s Friday again! Sometimes it’s a little shocking how quickly those weeks fly by. This week was much less wobbly than last week, thank goodness. The weather didn’t get the memo, but we managed some walks along the sea nonetheless.

First things first, I wanted to point out FCV’s new look! If you look at From China Village on a reader, like Bloglovin or Feedly, you might not have noticed, but FCV got an update! I’m still tweaking a few things and trying to make navigation to the most useful and popular posts easier, but it’s vastly improved. I had had the old look for over three years! It aged well, but Google was demanding some changes with its new responsiveness rules, so I finally made it happen. I’m pleased, and I hope you enjoy it too! If you see anything wonky, do let me know.

Now, on to the weekend! What do you have planned? Michael is coaching his dad’s team in a tournament and I’m going to use the peace and quiet in the house to take some photos of our living room to share with you and working on the invitations for my sister’s bridal shower this summer. Then on Sunday, I’m spending the afternoon with my friend Ruth exploring her neighborhood. I’ll have a whole bunch of One Day in Dublin posts for you coming up!

Ready for a few places around the internet to explore this weekend? Here goes!

I’ve watched more Foyle’s War this week than I care to admit. It’s so thoughtful and an interesting insight into how World War II affected all aspects of life, from a British point of view.

Have you seen these sad animal facts? They’re a hoot!

Wet dog, dry dog is also equally a endearing and entertaining.

Life with eight rescue dogs and Bikini the pig. Yes, a pig named Bikini. It doesn’t get better.

Michael and I reference this talk show appearance by Taylor Swift at least once a day. #RIPme

Happy weekend, friends! See you Monday!
