What are you up to this weekend? We are having people over tonight for pizza and green salad<\/a>, and on Sunday we\u2019re going to our friend\u2019s baby\u2019s baptism. (What would you suggest bringing as a gift?) Hope you have a good one, and here are a few fun links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n

Who wants to hang out at this fisherman\u2019s cottage in Scotland<\/a>???<\/p>\n

My spring essential<\/a> for bike rides, evening walks, and lounging at picnics.<\/p>\n

Banana chocolate-chip cake<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have you seen the teaser for Dolly Alderton\u2019s new Pride & Prejudice<\/a>? Digging the soundtrack of birds chirping.<\/p>\n

We desperately need a new living room<\/a> rug. (Our current one has been destroyed by children.) I\u2019m thinking of Ruggable\u2019s washable ones<\/a> \u2014\u00a0which do you like most, blue<\/a> or plush<\/a>?<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t planning to watch Love Story<\/a> \u2014 the Hulu series about John F. Kennedy, Jr., and Carolyn Bessette \u2014\u00a0but people are raving. Have you been watching?<\/p>\n

Also, two styles with Carolyn<\/a> vibes: classic watch<\/a> and very cool headband<\/a> (or this one<\/a>).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like a good song for the weekend, here\u2019s a great cover<\/a> of The Postal Service\u2019s \u201cSuch Great Heights.\u201d<\/p>\n

How cool are these commercial illustrations<\/a> from the 1960s and \u201970s?<\/p>\n

This headline<\/a> made me laugh out loud.<\/p>\n

Plus, four reader comments:<\/p>\n

Says Jasmine on what inexpensive things make your life easier in winter<\/a>: \u201cI have a trick to increase coziness: I keep my hairdryer close to my bed, then turn it on and blast it into the covers rights before I climb in. So toasty!\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Sarah on how was your weekend<\/a>: \u201cMy mom once got a fortune cookie that threatened, \u2018LOCK YOUR DOORS TONIGHT.\u2019 How f-ed up is that?!?!?!\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Deb on this new cookbook is bananas<\/a>: \u201cYears ago, I heard about a family whose mother suddenly was admitted to hospital. The caretaker decided to just cook all the most stained pages in the mother\u2019s cookbooks, and the kids were content.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Colleen: \u201cMy father died almost 27 years ago, one week after his 60th birthday. When my husband traveled down to Florida to see him for the last time \u2014 my dad was in hospice care \u2014\u00a0my father could barely speak but he looked at him and said, \u2018Please take care of my baby.\u2019 It killed me. It still kills. It will forever kill me. But he meant it. I was married, I lived in Alaska, I had supported myself for years but still, until the end, I was his baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
