Happened on Friday 🙂 WHOOOO!!!! (edit: oh yeah, and this was the 111th post :))
On shopping successfully
I don’t much like shopping. Food-shopping is bearable, clothes-shopping generally isn’t, although it is marginally better than shoe-shopping, and a whole lot better than bra-shopping. I tend to avoid it if at all possible. However. Sometimes life strikes, and I get invited somewhere that calls for something other than jeans. It seems life has struck. […]

The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself. – Anna Quindlen
On cold coffee
I wanted to talk to you.. I did try. Multiple times. I wrote, I texted, I phoned. But you didn’t answer. I’m guessing you won’t read this either, but maybe writing it will get it out of my system. I missed you, you know. I spent a long time missing you. But you know what […]
On arriving early to interviews
This was a comment on a post about arriving early to interviews. I decided it’s almost worthy of it’s own post, so I’m giving it one 🙂 I arrived half an hour early to my last one too.. Only I then spent 25 minutes trying to work out if I was in the right building […]
On overnight cake-baking
“A work colleague (a nice one) and I are going to visit a super-glassblower for a couple of days and be shown how to do clever things with glass. I want to bring him and his family a cake to thank him for his time and for organising the whole thing.” I did it! 🙂 […]
On First-Person Problems
“This problem only exists because I think it does” Problems are pretty much a given when one’s alive. The way you look at them can change them into more major or minor problems. The particular sort I mean are the sort of problems other people might want to exchange for their own. Problems like the […]
On writing Revision Cards
I have decided to be super organised. Not as organised as I said I would be in October, but still a good sight better than I sometimes am. I have exams in the last week of July. My last ‘block’ (46-50 hours of lessons) is the first week of July. Usually I would finish the […]
On turning down, turning off and turning up
Okay, so I’m [most probably] going to sound either incredibly stuck up or incredibly naiive for the next paragraph or two.. please bear with me. *** I got a phonecall from my skiing teacher a couple of weeks ago. He said he’d just got in from a day of skiing and asked if I wanted […]

The last post was the 100th 😉
On partying like a German
Warning: This post contains predjudice and unfair descriptions 😉 When in Germany, party like a German 🙂 The stereotype/predjudice is that the Germans are a very serious people. I’m not sure that that’s true, they’re just incredibly orderly. Even getting drunk and dancing on tables has to be done in an orderly fashion. Where I […]
On ‘coincidences’ (and Berlin)
On Thursday I decided to go to Berlin. Naja, ish. While it is true that I decided to go, it wasn’t entirely my decision. I was invited to a meeting. The sort that it would be silly not to go to. Some of you know why, some don’t. It’s not entirely relevant. The only relevant […]
On social predjudice
“Why are you fun?!! You’re English!! …and I thought English girls couldn’t dance” “uh..” Gotta love Americans 😉
On swimming in the sun
Once or twice a week I go swimming with a friend. We’ve just started going to the pool near her house instead of the one near mine. Today, for the first time, I discovered it has an outdoor pool attached. It was sunny, and scarily warm, so I went out for the first outdoor swim […]
