Very Small Feet

According to my lovely hubby this was my very 1st real gig. For me it was a happy place. Happy loud place! It has been now 2 days but I'm still dazed and remembering bits.  But let's start from the beginning... I never been that far north in UK. It was rather exciting to go away for a bit, see new places. To see Bush I was not as excited as my hubby, he was counting hours all day long, for me it was a bonus. Things to have to suffer for love :) Having a drink in the pub across from the Academy I could easily spot people who were going to the gig. Somehow you just know... They all had this hard rocking amigo look about them! People in the queue are all so different! If you saw my tweets you know what I mean. Hubby actually talks to strangers, just like me:) 1st guys we talked to went to the same gig about 12 years ago in Newport Leisure Centre as Steve did... we met them in Manchester and they are from Birmingham... There were people...

Well it was one of the points on my resolutions list is to see more live events... theatre, gigs, comedy shows... anything really. So far this year we have been to see amazing Billy Connelly. It was mother in law's Christmas present, we all had tickets! he was so amazing, non stop with no support act for over 2 and a half hours. He was just soo funny!! I was also very amused to see (rather hear) him in Brave cartoon! from  this web site . Also there is a short review... check it out! And go to see it! Super cute! Then as a Christmas present I got tickets to see amazing Imelda May. Also this event is known as my 1st gig ever. All very proper, sitting down in St. David's Hall in Cardiff. She was very preggers but nothing would have stopped her to rock on stage in these massive heels!  And then it was a present from my manager tickets to see Mumford and Sons... I have  blogged about this already According to husband it was not a real gig...

Everyone always says that hubby must cook all the time for me... Well it is not strictly true, he cooks all the time at work and gets a bit tired of it so I cook most of the time.  I have actually did not cook much till I met him... And dear god how terrifying it is to cook for a chef!? So we do have arguments about how I under-season food and get annoyed if he won't it. But when hubby cooks... oh he cooks....  I really don't remember all the things he made for me but look at these... Its not the restaurants, its our kitchen! I wonder how I still stay size 10 :)

Catering and hospitality is a different world. We all drink, eat junk, socialise with others on weekdays or Sunday nights... If your friends don't work in catering chances are you don't really see them. Most of my friends are people I worked with at some point in life. We do not work together any more so it is hard to get to spend time together. But we manage to meet up at least once a month with some of them.  This time it was just me and Dessy. Oh we went shopping and didn't buy anything, that passive shoppaholic thing... Then we went for food to this new Cuban place... Very mexican food. Home made salsas, tortillas! It was nice. The pineapple and chilly salsa is to die for! Then we always should have wine...  We ended the evening with trip to cinema. I finally got to see Magic Mike... You know the one about male strippers...  And it was as I expected... plot was a bit.. well not very good. Some questionable...

Well I am being lazy and do not think I am training enough. Definitely not enough if to compare to Annalie... She is doing a real training, runs for miles with better timing each time. Her fiancée runs a running club so he supervises her workouts... and my husband works all the time and does not want to go for a run with me...  Last year the Cardiff 10K was super hard on me. I was stressed at work and actually didn't have any energy for anything. I did not pace well and got a stitch on the 3rd K... it was terrible! My knees were killing... and there were a lot of smelly men running next to you :)  Well this was after the race....  Next day I could barely move...  However this year I do know what I am up against... Horrible race with the hill at the end! But I am looking forward to it. I will not let this race to beat me! Besides I have so much space on this  Yeah I finally got a cool ...

When I feel down I watch Sex and The City... it makes me happy, all of it, jokes, clothes, NYC...  In one of the episodes Carrie says: "Shopping is my cardio"... Well in my case I guess it's not true, since running is my cardio... But shopping is either a very happy time or very frustrating...  I have been wondering the shops the other day... These things I liked...  Statement jewellery from Zara...  Loved this bag at Topshop Retro looking clock at John Lewis New Marc Jacobs perfume...With super cute name Dot!  Moschino.... Pink Bouquet... Smells like bunch of flowers. Funny thing is, just coz I liked these things I probably will not get any of these... well I will get Pink Bouquet after I use up my Escada Taj Sunset.  Oh how I love strong perfumes! Escada, Moschino and Mont Blanc are my favourite brands... Oh and Skin by Trussardi which is really hard to find! But I really do...

Hot town summer in the city.... Know the song?? Well I can tell you it is not about Cardiff. I truly miss heat and cold of air cons... I want to go on holidays somewhere where I can soak up as much vitamin D as I can, drink, swim, and maybe dance.... and eat sea food... But the home office has different plans for us this summer... We haven't seen our passports since January. I am changing my visa status and it takes a lot of time. So here we are... Most of hot few days we had I was at work... My uniform is jeans and long sleeved shirt.... or we got together and got the park!  Mum keeps complaining how hot it is back home... but here the heat is different, its moist and very uncomfortable in jeans! think in total we had only about 2 weeks in space of 3 months of summer when we had heat sun.... I need a holiday? At the moment we are watching the Olympic closing ceremony.... Don't think I have seen one before... on TV I mean... no...

Nothing beats watching the film on the big screen of the cinema... As you know I have this special card that allows me to see as many films as I want!  Well me and hubby saw The Amazing Spiderman... Oh I thought it was very good, entertaining and so much better then the other spiderman film. Emma Stone was lovely also Andrew Garfield is funny, he seemed very good hero type one can sympathise with. Haven't seen it? Watch it. It is entertaining. Husband didn't like it! And then we went to see Ted... Oh Seth MacFarlane... All I could see is cross between American Dad and Family Guy. But it was very funny! Mila Kunis is lovely!!  So in the end I have treated my self to the men candy ... the genius of Chris Nolan. Dark Knight Rises...  I do like my men candy... Lots and lots of it! Joseph Gordon-Lewitt, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy and Sir Michael Caine.  Also fantastic Anne Hathaway and Marion Cotilliard! ...

Well as we all know its Olympics time! Everything is very exciting... Here in Cardiff we only got bits of football both girls and boys.  But it's a very special atmosphere... and super busy at work.  I also singed up for the next race... it will be another 10k, despite what my friend Nora says I do not feel fit enough to do half marathon. A girl from work doing it too... but she is like super fit, don't think I will be able to outrun her.  Husband finally agreed do go for a run with me. We will be doing 10k together for Movember.  Well after our run around the park we have discovered that he cannot pace (well it took me almost a year to learn to pace myself) and that he is rather unfit. But training together we can do it!!  Wonder how his legs are feeling today, he was complaining all day yesterday!:) But it was really good to run with him, I'm sure together we can train better and do a marathon! .. one day Speaking of...
