Ups and downs (and mehs!)

Time for some more ups and downs!

Up

Gym

When I was doing my PhD I was quite active because my schedule was flexible, but since finishing my routine's changed and I wasn't getting enough exercise regularly. I joined the gym last month and though it's smelly and in a basement I'm really feeling better about myself and love the endorphins!

Cooking

Tried a couple of new recipes with Bartimaeus recently and am getting more creative again. It's a real pleasure for me, especially baking and watching people enjoy the results!

Glasgow

Going to Glasgow next week for a mini-break with Bartimaeus! I am so excited about this: it's supposed to be a really cool city, I'm looking forward to visiting the art school, and I'm seeing a good friend I haven't seen since March last year. Plus I love staying in hotels and eating hotel breakfasts!

Website

My project website should fiiiinally be going live tomorrow. I can't wait for everyone to see it, it looks amazing! If I say so myself...

Busy-ness

Just the right side of manic; currently making me super-organised and productive. Fingers crossed it lasts a while!

Birthday

Two weeks on Friday to my party, very much looking forward to spending it with my dear dear friends, and seeing a friend I haven't seen in years!

Meh

World Cup, so far

As Bartimaeus points out astutely (link: http://pathik-pathak.blogspot.com), it's been a dull tournament so far and I'm just not into it yet. Plus it's causing havoc to my birthday plans. I mean, HOW inconsiderate!

Weather

I wish it'd hurry up and warm up already! I've been wearing a lot of leggings+ dress outfits as bare legs get too cold and tights too warm, but I don't feel as "me" in them as I do in a pretty sundress and Birkies.

Downs

None today really! I guess my busyness meaning I don't get to hang out with my sister this week, which is a bit of a drag, but it can't be helped and there will be other times.
