Very Small Feet

I have been asked recently if I was on any social media. On which I laughted and said “who isn’t?!” ...  My good friend Jess ( here is her blog by the way) tagged my in post of Facebook I thought it might be a picture of a cute kitten. Let’s face it that’s the main reason social media exists. It was a friend of hers looking for some plants and seeds for her garden.  So last week we got some new friends who brought us these beauties  And left with cutting ready to plant of black carrant, some houseplants cuttings and gladioli bulbs.  This lovely exchange made feel very warm and fuzzy inside, our new friends seemed very lovely and Egg took to them, which doesn’t happened very often or straight away.  We also finally went out and got more compost. I’m planning to repurpose old meat crates for veg beds just need a dry day really. Yesterday we also planted this  I truly hope it will survive since Egg watered it so much. Boy loves a good w...

I used to live in London. I didn’t like it. Sure it was always something to do, but it was also super expensive and lonely, hubby was back in Cardiff.  Now I only come for a day visit when I either need a visa for myself like this time or for the boys to go to Russia. So as I said only brief visits.  I always think that Londoners are rude and anoying... however this time.... I hit the dude with my umbrella, caught my headphones on some other fella backpack, we all smiled at each other and all was good.  When I did eventfully get to place I needed to go I as usual asked the security guard how his day was and then something happened. He smiled told me that it all would be ok (well I was applying to Portugal in a massive visa centre) and gave me a small choccie. Then in the waiting room I chatted to the lady from Palestine who was going to Danmark and had whole day alone there. I hope it all went well for her.  So it wasn’t too bad. Even with rain...  after I went ...

Egg is enjoying preschool, well at lea st we think so. He goes here happy, plays and such.  We also occasionally getting a homework... it’s not like actual things, but more like bring photos of your pets or make a family tree.  Family tree is that I want to tell you about.  I am an only child, but I have a step sister and whole bunch of step family. And I know about my cousins I haven’t seen but I know about them and we are probably friends in internet... not all of them of course.  However it is a bit of the different story with my hubby’s family. They know each other well most of them but they don’t really keep in touch. And that is cool too.  But I want Egg to know who his family are... so the big plan is to make a proper family tree one day. But for now I want to tell you about my grand parents and great grand parents...  Here are my mum’s parents. Sadly they passed away when they were relatively young... but I remember them fond...

I have been a bit busy with everything lately... I finally started working. In the same place as my hubby. So I am back in catering and hospitality.  Well it is not my dream job but what is?  Work is work and this is something I enjoy and in a way I am passionate about. I love food and drink and working with people.  And it is relatively easy. I still have a lot to learn but actual work like dealing with guests is like riding a bicycle. I love talking to people. And no day is the same.  At the moment I am still training and we as a family are trying to work out the work life banace. And no one seems to be able to feed the little one but me...  Speaking off Egg he is not sleeping again... but that is another story! Catering is such a big industry here in UK but what strikes me that unless you are a manager it isn’t seen as a profession. That makes me sad and annoyed. But already there is more appreciation for barmen maybe same is coming for waiting. Here is to ho...

You remember how excited I was to start running again . And how amazed I was at the fact that a year off and no training I some how got faster...  (One of my current books, I am all into my running) I even felt brave enough to rejoin the world of fun races and singed up for 10k and 5k races.  However due to poor health, thank you preschool, I didn’t run for over a month. With my new shiny phone that works like magic.  Also due to Snowmaggedon the 10k race is postponed until further notice. Honestly, I will not be signing up for St David’s Day race ever again. It’s second time something went wrong, even if the 1st time around I couldn’t be bothered to get you out of bed. It’s doomed I say! But I did the 5k last Sunday. It was nice little race about 200 people, fun organisation and I almost got lifted by young weight lifting champion. I would have crushed the poor fella!  As for the run it self it was a good route around the park, pretty standard actu...

As you are already aware I am a big animation fan. Sometimes because I have to sometimes because I want to. So Rhian and I went to dinner drink and movie, which was the Pixar’s new offering Coco.  When it was 1st announced I had very mixed feelings, music and day of the dead we had it before in glorious Book of Life! Then I came across the tweet from Guillermo Del Toro saying that any film about Mexican culture is an excellent new addition to he world. Well so true!  I believe that at Pixar after making Coco they started celebrate day of the dead. Which is frankly the holiday we all should have. You set up the photos of you deseased relatives and their favoured food, maybe their favourite things and objects. (That’s what I gathered)  There were a lot of wonderful songs and very funny jokes! I especially loved Frida jokes.  This film was also very emotional. We are yet to see Good dinosaur, it’s seems a bit pants, and only seen Cars 3 once, it made me...

If you don’t live in UK you have probably seen it on the news... whole country is snowed in and actually stopped.  Schools been cancelled so is St David’s Day and World’s book day...  and it’s stay inside read a book and cuddle with pets kind of weather... unless you have to brave it and go to work like my hubby for example. Even if only for an hour... or you have a small child who turns out is a very big fan of snow!  The joy of running into the snow drift. Jumping! Picking it up and throwing high in the air!  Wonderful!  And we are properly dressed, these trousers are suitable for Russian winter acually. And speaking of Russia, don’t think Egg remembers the snow when he was in Russia. He was far too young to remember.  But I have mixed feeling about it all...  I understand that UK is unprepared to deal with snow, and that equipment is super expensive. Like we have winter tires, but it would too expensive for here. While back in motherland it’s a lega...
