Onwards and upwards

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Thank you for your lovely messages, it really made me smile. Things got more cheerful and last week’s drama is over.

We have snow in London! Of course as soon as it hits the ground it melts but the view out of my window is so pretty. We may even get proper (read: 10cm if we are really lucky) snow for Christmas, wouldn’t that be nice?

It’s busy at work and we are still unsure whether we are working next week or not. Usually we close for almost 2 weeks break.

My house is decorated now and I did all the gifts and cards apart from the hubby. All that’s left doing is the food shopping and a bit of baking. Having said that I really don’t feel like thinking about food at all, this is due to a mountain of biscuits and mince pies on the desk next to mine that keeps diminishing and I am the only one in this room! New Year’s detox is essential.

Last weekend I went to Sadler’s Well to see Swan Lake. I didn’t hope for much as it is Matthew Bourne’s production and as I suspected it was very commercial and not my cup of tea at all but for £10 I shall not argue. Beforehand we popped to Harlequin for a drink, it is a very small and cozy pub in Arlington Way, they serve very good mulled wine which was such a perfect thing to have on a cold night. Sad it is bit too far to become my local.

Now, how am I going to cycle home if it keeps snowing??
