Rainy Season

Ugh what an icky rainy and windy day it's been. And the forecast for the rest of the week doesn't seem to be much better.

Say it with Colour

I accepted a job offer. Stu brought me flowers to congratulate. :)

Désolée

Blossoming

Everything seems to be blossoming suddenly. How lovely.

Park Life

Went for a walkabout in Richmond park. It was a bit rainy but it didn't matter. It was just nice to enjoy the open spaces.

Home by Sunset

The sunset today was such a lovely rich orange. Delicious.

From Your Valentine

I got a gorgeous bouquet of roses from my husband today, clearly the bestet husband in the world. <3

I wish you all a lovely Valentine's Day! - Ja Hyvää Ystävänpäivää ystäville Suomeen!

In Bloom

It's been a lovely weekend. What a difference some sunlight makes!

Spring in Her Step

The children in Marble Hill Park were running around with spring in their step. I hope the sunshine is here to stay.



Riina, Elli and Noa came over to see us today and we made good use of the lovely weather by walking to Richmond for a lazy lunch.

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

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)

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.

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.

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.
