Hello and goodbye

I made a promise to be better with blogging once The Boy left, and that hasn't really come to pass.  The past couple of weeks have been hectic and I haven't had much chance to take photographs or to sit down and write. 

1. Treating myself to sushi on my day off; 2. A hint of spring in my kitchen;

3. Graffitti on the toilet door in a London pub; 4. Eurostar tickets - yay!

 

 

So what have I been up to? Well, I've...

- spent a fun weekend in London, shopping for my bridesmaid dress with my best friend - and soon-to-be-bride - Cara.  And so what if we did spend half of the ten-hour trip in the pub?  That's still five solid hours of dress shopping, and we were in dire need of liquid refreshment;
- enjoyed sharing meals, cinema trips, cups of tea and DVD nights with friends;
- 'learnt' to crochet at craft club: turns out it is not my forte;
- had a cuddle with my friend's six week old baby boy (always a scary proposition: I'm not really a baby person);
- visited my mum prior to her departure for my Granny's funeral in Cape Town;
- booked my train to Paris in April (I'm already excited!);
- got back into going to the gym, after a long break;
- baked yummy vegan lemon cake and made some delicious vegan curries.  Quite why I'm still cooking vegan food when The Boy isn't here is a mystery.

And tomorrow - snow permitting - I fly off to the Netherlands for five days in Nijmegen, so this is goodbye for a week.  Have a good one!
