2020

Image
I don’t remember us getting excited at 2010 and shouting ah new decade! But then again the social media wasn’t what it is now and well ... we just weren’t us then.  I didn’t actually realised that I didn’t blog in December at all but it was a very stressful month with work, school and life.... We both even work New Year’s Eve. Which isn’t unusual but it is unusual since we had to drop off the offspring to grandparents and such... and then we did realised that we didn’t spend much time together at all.  So in 2020 we are very much hoping to change that.  In other things I m doing good with my zero waste swaps, stop cutting my self with a razor! Egg is thriving in school and we did get official diagnosis for him. Many doors have opened to get help.  (And boy, he loves glitter and school so much) Steve is a naturally very stubborn and can run half marathon in under 2 hours which is truly amazing!  I run that race in the worst conditions ever and didn’t melt or died...

A good day mumming

Yesterday was a good day! Firstly we managed to nap for decent amount of time (read more than 40min). Then I discovered that Amber  necklace   for little one has arrived. We are giving it a try, it won't make things worst. It's super cute and from Baltic source, I got it from Etsy .  (and Edgar had some jelly... it also was amazing!) Out pool adventures have improved. I guess it has something to do won't is being on holidays for such a long time and haven't attended the swimming classes that Egg Man decided he doe t like it much... But slowly we are improving!  And then in the park we met Emily and her Russian mum Kate! It's so cool to meet some one just out of the blue and I think we will get along well!  As I mentioned previously mothers need other mothers... Not only to keep us  being alto to communicate to other adults but to keep us sane...  Oh and I won some tea from Pukka teas!

getting into a spirit of all of it...

It will be just us with pets for Christmas.... Less responsibility and bit less stress. No crazy wrapping frenzy... It is actually nice, but we will be heading to Sunny Wales in January. Actually cannot wait to see everyone!! I was feeling bit down lately work been really stressful... for both of us. And pets can only cheer you up that much. Besides bunny doesn't like to hug much:) So today we had a little stroll throw the German market...   the warmth of the mulled wine:)     But I am actually almost done with Christmas shopping... Oh the stress of it... Now I m just shopping for my bday presents for my self:) Best kind of present really.   Also the tree is up     And both Molly the Cat and Daisy the Bunny had a go on brining it down or eating it. Don't they know it's not real and won't do them any good. Silly pets:)   I also have a box of baby oranges (baby oranges any satsumas, clementines and other similar...

too many shops...

So I still do not know many people here in Brum so girl gotta do something....  Really did not feel like cinema lately. So I went to look in the shops....  Absolutely loved this hat... Wish I could wear hats all the time. But only hats like that.  I'm mainly now in my hood trying to hide from this terrible weather we been having here in UK. How Dolce and Gabbana are these earrings?! I died!  But these aren't exactly my cup of tea, but still these are awesome. River Island. Now this I wanted to try on... But was too lazy. Not that I have space or need for a pink 80's party dress. but it's just too cute... right? And returning to Dolce and Gabbana .... £37 for this beauty!  Bead-tastic... I do not know if I want these things but I really thought these were really awesome. And picture taking quality.. Yes, there is such quality. It is this time of the year when I become a bit grumpier... as I will get older in f...

Training.. Sticking With It & Staying Motivated.

Image
Last two weeks I only worked, slept, eat and went to the gym and back... it was good. Hard. And a lot of timing. I was waking up at certain time and leaving the house at the certain time.  The sun was shining, and it was fairly easy to do...  This week not so much. It suddenly got cold. And windy... and I started to feel all this hard work at actual work is tiring me out and all I want to do is drink red wine, eat cheese watch films and read books....  I had few days of rest... Today I woke up with slightly runny nose.  I was not going anywhere. So while in bed I checked my emails, social web sites and came across this video...  And then I got up laced up my trainers and went for a short run. Better then nothing right! 4.80K in 17 min I think it is really not bad.  It is super hard to stay motivated, especially if I know in few days we will be heading on holidays! But you got to find something. Turns out to me it is other people. Like ...

random things found in Bath

Image
Thank you camera phones for helping us remember all these fun things we saw.  I do enjoy sharing these things with everyone... So this pink thing is in a window of art gallery in Bath. This awesome vintage car was park just near our house. I would love to have one of these... I guess I will have to learn how to drive 1st On my break from work I wondered down to Waterstone's... This book caught my eye. It's is such a fun and geeky idea! Bling-tastic belt! Holla!! Bit trashy for me but really fun accessory... I actually want this Owl art thing... Look how cool and so delightfully Victorian this thing is Is a fish? Is it a glove? A very small hat??  First time I left our new home in Bath and saw this retro beauty...  I think I really need to learn how to drive! Timer... Almost bought this little guy since he looked so lonely! Christmas tree graveyard... Holidays were over then Mo...

random...

I got a collection of random and interesting pictures on my phone... so I though hey, I will share these! So object number one is a book chair... It't just so cute, looks like a real deck chair but still a book stand. I think I might want one for Christmas. It is really tricky to read and eat at the same time... Super bad habit of mine! Number 2 is a hair cut mug...  I thought it is just very funny! There are a lot of tash mugs, but why not a haircut mug? Number 3 is a window display of American Appareil in Camden... by far is my most favorite thing I have seen in recent weeks... very Gothic and dark, yet fascinating  Couldn't walk past without snapping a picture. Number 4 massive fire escape sign.... it is just soo huge!  I wouldn't seen it if I was not sat in the window of the restaurant...   Number 5 is a goat's behind...  Sometime is not the object but the angle one's lookin...

Oh... Plans I've Made

Image
Remember how after my last race I was going to do lots of things, make stuff, tidy the flay and watch films... My plans were so exciting!  Well another epic fail!  Somehow that days just went away from me.  Me and my friend Owen went to the cinema and beer after.... We saw Lawless... Well he saw it again and me for the 1st time. Before you watch the trailer got to tell you its a bit... well graphic! It is a very very good film... But I don't think I will be watching it again. Too real! I like to think that the world is full of rainbows and unicorns! This was too real... It's like film with Casey Affleck (coincidently my favourite Affleck brother) Killer inside me. It is a very very good film but too graphic and too real.  Both of the films a must see... but just be prepared...  So after this I did not do much...  I was going to make a make-up bag for Dessy so she can stop walking around wit...

Things... Strange (unusual) things...

Image
I had a day off and I went for a wonder around my local charity shops, popped into fruit and veg place for some supplies... But things I came across were just... well I haven't seen anything like this.... So here it comes... Strange things and some of them are very cool: Some one put a sticker of the pink cat on the sing... It was very high up, not only for 5ft self but for normal hight humans too... I wonder how did the do this?! And where can I find some of these stickers?? Strange coloured Mini... It was just there changing colour like petrol stain... Would this be petrol colour? Very cool and unusual! I was walking I think from work... looked to the side. And there she was just chilling... After I took the picture this duck looked at me in a "what are you looking at?!" kind of way....  Really? A record... of Bruce Willis? What?! I was very tempted to get it... but then again I don't have a record playe...
