It's another year, again. I know it is cliche, but the years do seem to go by quicker and quicker. I don't think I achieved a lot of my resolutions. I had even forgotten that I made any. That doesn't bode well. So let's see which ones I actually managed to stick to.
Health
Keep losing weight. Another 10 kilos this year would be great. I don't want to lose it fast, I want to keep it off, so Judithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14798164541996236110noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703326660174738322.post-24316034367312986662013-01-06T21:38:00.000+00:002013-01-06T21:38:12.509+00:00Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Hey everyone, sorry for being quiet over the holidays. Hope you all enjoyed yours and were able to re-energise for the new year.
I really enjoyed mine. I was in Canada for two weeks at the bf's family. We met up with lots of his friends and family and also managed to squeeze in some lazy time. We did absolutely nothing touristy or note-worthy. All family and friends visits. A little party forJudithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14798164541996236110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703326660174738322.post-13579714719556718382013-01-03T13:29:00.001+00:002013-01-03T13:29:18.963+00:00Distant Worlds
Back in November I attended a concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Distant Worlds - music from 25 years of Final Fantasy. I must admit that I did not play most of them. But I have fond memories of number 12. It turned out to be a brilliant concert. The Royal Albert Hall is so beautiful and they had these weird floaty mushroom things under the ceiling. Rather bizarre. Anyway, enjoy some of the Judithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14798164541996236110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703326660174738322.post-31071647686786795632012-12-27T14:04:00.000+00:002012-12-27T14:04:50.878+00:00Remember that boilerOh remember the boiler? It's all fixed now. We had some nice workmen come in to fix it. Local guys. Very funny indeed. Bf has some Arsenal stuff lying around the house. So of course the guys are fans and from the second they come into our flat it's Arsenal this, and Arsenal that. Have you seen this news article/ statistic/ gossip etc. WOW. Men, just so simple.

Dear Starbucks employee,
If you really need to ask for my name at the till, could you please at least get it right? And if that is too much to ask, write something less insulting than Judas.
Cheers.

Aha! I am not crazy. Boiler did give up this morning (or sometime during the night). When I wanted to hop into the shower this morning the water was freezing cold. And did not get warmer. Luckily I just needed to restart the boiler (too much software in them now) and then it worked again like a charm. But it's only a matter of time. It just cannot handle heating the water and the rooms.

It took us a long time, but today we finally turned on the heating for this winter. I remember last year we already turned it on in November. This year we were able to hold out a bit longer. It has been freezing at night and I couldn't get my feet warm any longer. So heat is on. And it's still working. I am always a bit worried when it's been off for so long if the boiler will break down.

Autumn has hit us properly. It's really cold in the mornings, I can see frost on the rooftops! And it tends to be windy and rainy as well. Awful weather really. But it of course also means that I took out all my winter clothes (I love winter clothes, the colours, how cozy everything feels). This is when I noticed that my boots look worse for wear. I had them for several years now and the sole isJudithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14798164541996236110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703326660174738322.post-81485425997714209742012-10-14T12:33:00.000+01:002012-10-14T12:33:10.735+01:00Running off the Cake
I ran my first 5k this weekend! I am just a little bit proud of myself. I know it's not a super huge achievement. There are people who run marathons, but I still can't help myself and feel a bit proud.
As I did not really have any idea or feel of how long 5k was I ran it super slow because I didn't want to run out of steam. As a result it took me forever, but I enjoyed it. Was a great day to Judithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14798164541996236110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703326660174738322.post-6622629091877297182012-09-29T17:13:00.000+01:002012-09-29T17:13:14.683+01:00Hello, I'm Back
I had no intention to stop blogging over the summer, but for some reason never felt like writing anything. Ever since coming back from Japan I just have this weird feeling. I am still not sure what it is. I think it partly sparked from being disappointed in not being able to speak Japanese. I know, I know I don't study properly and am absolutely aware that my language ability is very low.

No idea if the heading is correct, but I'm going to Japan tomorrow. Hurrrraaaaaaaaay!!!! Cannot wait to get on that plane. Well, get off the plane.
I am well prepared and even got me a swell pair of compression socks. Look at me, getting old and all. Also got a new backpack as the old one had its bottom ripping off. I got the same one again, just in a different colour. North Face Isabella.

Feel like I just survived my first crazy week at work. It was London Book Fair. Even though I only attended one day and one party I felt absolutely crushed the rest of the week. I was there on Monday standing for the most part of 5 hours. I don't know about you guys, but standing is the worst. Walking is fine. But standing around just makes my back hurt. The party afterwards was fun, but more Judithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14798164541996236110noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703326660174738322.post-74819397500006369472012-04-16T07:20:00.000+01:002012-04-16T07:20:08.468+01:00My new love
I'm not sure why but recently I have started to crave ginger. In any shape or form. A few weeks ago, when we went for Chinese tea I had a ginger beer at the pub we were waiting at. I loved it! I think that must have started it. When I went into our local health store, what do you know, they carry it! So I got myself a bottle and enjoyed it in the sun! Ginger and sun.

This Saturday I had a table reserved for the bf and I at a Chinese tea place. Because of some football game going on in the area we ended up getting there about an hour early. There was a lovely pub close to the tube station where we disembarked. We shared some nachos and had a couple of beers. Well the bf had beers, I had some cider and ginger beer. Ginger beer just screams summer/spring to me Judithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14798164541996236110noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703326660174738322.post-23976101123145455732012-03-30T07:46:00.001+01:002012-03-30T07:46:23.971+01:00Tea time!
A couple of weeks ago the bf and I went for afternoon tea. I love afternoon tea! I think it's one of the greatest inventions. So relaxing and so yummy. I had looked up this little place in Soho, Soho's Secret Tea Room. Little did I know that it was actually secret. Well, at least hard to find. It is situated on top of a pub and there is only a tiny sign pointing you towards it.

This is a lovely picture from Tuesday evening. We had some emergency building works in our area and when I came home from work water, phone and electricity was not working (man, never been so glad in my life that I went to pee before leaving work [tmi? apologies]).
Bf was staying out for drinks, though I instructed him not to drink too much as availability of water was uncertain.

I couldn't put up with the winter colours any more so switched to a brighter colour set. The weather is a bit up and down at the moment, but clearly heading in the right direction. We had some gorgeous days last week and it can only get better. I already started looking for a new pair of sandals and am waiting for my new glasses and sunglasses to arrive.

I did not finish the meme as intended. When the post about my workplace came up I felt uncomfortable posting anything from work, so just planned on skipping it, but instead ending up not posting for almost three weeks. Big fail on trying to post every week. I will do better from now on. No more memes, just plain posts.

Probably about two years old now. I loved that shirt. It's a pyjama top now as I wore it to death and now has holes all over the place. But I still don't want to part with it.

My beloved swatch. They make them in so many colours it was hard to choose. If I were rich, I'd get more colours to wear them according to my mood.

Yes, it's a book. I picked it up today. I read one of her others which was really good. Very excited to start this one.
