Job is a job.

Facebook alerted my last month that it has been a year since I have started work.  I had interviews. I had good and bad ones.  Last one, they just got some one a little bit better than me. It made me sad.  So now I am working  with my husband.  I am a waitress.  (Some ET latte art from bar team) So here is the issue...  Perception of catering is changes very very slowly in UK, but so slowly. My co-workers in a majority are students and are so very young. And only few treat this job as an actual job. Sometimes I feel useless I am 33 and I work part time as a waitress.  But why do I feel like this.

Husband can’t comprehend why people tell me things. Well it’s like my super power, I always had it! I like the flexibility of my working hours and tips.  I recently discovered that one other mum...

I have been a bit busy with everything lately... I finally started working. In the same place as my hubby.

I think I always had plants in my life...  in the summer our balcony was like a little jungle back home. It was the only place that got sun all day long.  So it wasn't a new scandi trend that I am into.  However the love for plants didn't mean that I can pot, prune and put them in the right place... but it all has changed. Thanks to hubby dearest who is also rather greenfingered himself, he showed me how to plant, repot and what happens when he looses interest and forgets to water things...  He doesn't water when I tend to overwater... no middle ground here. Oh and little one loves to water too.   We got a new succulent friend while food shopping yesterday.  But luckily I have started to google and read on the plant subject so my green babies will thrive.  I got to say our windowsill is super pretty  I also learnt how to propagate some plants. It's actually easy and really satisfying. And then I give new plant babies away. With warmer weather our ...
