Threading Rainbows

I'm in love with my new sewing machine. <3 It was actually a Christmas present but I didn't get it until today. And all the thread that I got with it should last for some time to come!

Sunny Side of the Street

What an unexpectedly glorious day it was today! The forecast has been showing rain for today all day long (it's still persistent in fact), but in reality it was lovely and sunny. Felt like spring!

Lend a Hand

Sunrise Simulation

The street light behind the window at the ladies at Shepherd's Bush Empire was sort of mesmerising to me. Perhaps not quite as mesmerising as the lady on stage however. Her demeanour was restless and fidgety and she kept on disappearing into the dark corners of the stage. But her voice was a gift and I'm very happy I had the opportunity to see Cat Power sing live.

The Way the Cookie Crumbles

Received big tin of home baked cookies from Paul in the post. Apparently he had baked 193 cookies altogether.* I'm not complaining, they are delicious! (*Perhaps I'm not the only one who needs to find a proper job. :P)

Enjoy the Silence

Finally some sunshine!

Takeover

What miserable weather. The Thames and the birds had taken over the street in Twickenham.

Sugar Sugar

Sunday was all about cleaning and getting the flat ready for 'The Mum Inspection'. Her flight was only an hour or so delayed, which was good.

The Circus is in Town

Well, not a real circus. Even if the bustle of Piccadilly Circus does make you feel like you're caught in the middle of one. Had to go up there for an interview of sorts.

Simmer

Chicken with almond and coconut sauce. Mmmm. Oh dear, the pictures are already turning a bit foodie...

Wait in Line

Waiting for them to ripen... gahh... patience is not one of my better virtues.

Who's Doing the Dishes?

Without realising I bought such posh desserts that they came in glass ramekins. Blueberry cheesecake. I have to say it was absolutely delicious!

Victim

I'm finally getting to the last boxes. Look what I found in this one... :( It figures that (almost) the only victim of the move happens to be the most expensive piece of china I own. Sigh.

Colourclash

Saw this building on my way to a recruitment agency. I thought it was kind of... endearing. Who ever put the warning sign up paid no attention to clashing colours though. Tsk tsk.

Lazy Sunday

A lovely lazy Sunday. Walked around Richmond, had lunch in Wagamama's and went to see The Golden Compass.

Pick Me!

I've been trying to get my home a bit more organised today. It's just that nothing seems to stay organised for very long...

A Fallen Star

Time to take down Christmas lights soon...

Bath Time

Bought some coconut scented bath foam today. A hot, nice smelling bath made a freezing day seem warmer.

Where sleep lives

Had a rude awakening this morning with a broken boiler and ice cold flat. Luckily it was sorted and things are warmer now. My bones still ache to go under the covers though.

Welcome 2008!

I welcome the New Year and all it might have in store for me.
