I spent last weekend in Brighton with four girl friends, celebrating my friend’s birthday and I fell in love. I arrived in Brighton tired, hungry, sweaty, clueless and with heavy bags in tow after a very long day at work. The lively atmosphere gave me an immediate boost. Between the squeals of girls on hen nights, the excitable chatter of everyone around, the yells from … Continue reading No Place like Brighton
I’m sat in the lounge drinking tea. I’m surrounded by Christmas decorations. The fireplace is cluttered with ornamental robins, Santas, snowmen and candles. The darker it gets outside, the brighter the lights on the tree and in the window shine. The whole room looks cheerful. I had a piano lesson this afternoon. It’s been nearly five years since I gave up on my grade 5 and … Continue reading IT’S CHRISTMASSSS
feel like it was only a few minutes ago I was sat on that train writing last week’s post. I had a great day with my friends in London and didn’t want to come home. This week’s not been too shabby though: I spent another two days volunteering and loved it as always. I’ve been to the library to pick up some reading for a … Continue reading A week in the life
Seriously, where did the summer go!? It’s raining, I’m wearing socks and a cardigan, I feel the sudden urge to light candles again, I used my umbrella last night, help! You know what? No need to panic. September is a funny kind of month. It might be raining now, but the sun could reappear at any point. I betcha I’ll just get used to grabbing … Continue reading September already, say what?
This summer, my family and I spent two amazing weeks at a huge resort celebrating my Dad’s 50th birthday. We were spoiled rotten with two pools, a section of the beach, on-site restaurants, a HUGE buffet, a gym, a coffee shop, need I go on? I don’t recall ever having felt so relaxed! It was beautiful. Now, I’m home again and I’m still not sure … Continue reading Spoiled Rotten
This week was a tiring one. In fact, I was so tired Friday afternoon I nearly fell asleep in training at work. Every time I closed my eyes it was almost too much effort to get them open again. The information being presented was interesting and valuable and yet I could not stop yawning. I came home with a tummy ache, because I ate way too … Continue reading Bleary-eyed, still smiling
It’s a funny kind of day today. Not sunny enough for long enough to sit outside, but sunny enough to make you feel guilty for sitting indoors. It’s warm when the sun’s out, but chilly when it’s not. I’m sat indoors, but I’m sat near the window if that counts for anything. *sighs* I’ve got that ‘end of the weekend’ feeling. At least I think … Continue reading British Summertime
