10 things about me



I saw the princess and the frog today with Kristian and Lily. Old fashioned disney animation. Of course in true disney fashion , beings died. The whole time I was thinking. please don't ask me about dying. please don't ask me about dying. she didn't ask me about dying but she enjoyed it thoroughly , as did I.

I am cooking a lamb for the first time in my life tomorrow and you know I think I may be vegetarian. I took ages choosing one that did not make me feel queasy. Don't worry its all free range , very expensive sort of lamb. I think I am looking forward to the choccie eggs more. yum.

less than 2 months till I head out to Cape Town again. So much to look forward to there.

lily is into role playing in a big way. either shes the teacher and i am the little girl, or shes the doctor and I am the patient with a sore tummy and cough, or shes the waitress and I am the customer who orders randomly from a wooden board she has got and then eat anything she brings me WITHOUT complaint. Once I pretended to complain and was chucked out of the establishment.

Planning a trip to spitalfields before i leave for cape town. Its my mission for this year to go to north and west London more and explore. Hampstead heath (hope I don't see George Micheal) is also up there with things to do. On one of those days I will be going to lemonia., this amazing Greek restaurant in primrose hill. I went for our friend , Jason's birthday a few years ago and I can remember the taste of that delicious food.

I am looking for a quinoa recipe if anyone has one. I had it a while ago but was unimpressed , however its so good for you so I want to try again

waterfall cardigans are my new favorite thing. admittedly I only have 1 but i have my eye on 1 or 2 more. they are so handy and look so lovely on. I have also started wearing leggings. They are so comfortable and worn correctly they look very flattering and lovely. FYI some legging wearing people..Long flowing tops are the look. not short tight ones .

Over the rainbow has started on the telly. Andrew Lloyd webbers "casting" for a Dorothy for the wizard of oz. i love it already. if i were a man I would be gay.

I am turning 33 next month. Its got to be a good year. two 3's! i have a feeling a lot will happen to me in my 33rd year. i was playing with my tarot cards a few nights ago and got some interesting things coming up. How I wish I could have my friend Caroline do a reading for me.

its still tulip season and you know how I love the tulips. I will post some photos of the tulips i got for Easter and you can all share in the pretty joy of them.

The Tulips are beautiful as is the blue sky in the park. I love Greenwich. Counting down has begun again...how very luck we are this year. I hope your 33rd year is a great one but that the ones that follow become greater and greater. Love Mum xxxx

I haven't bought leggings yet but did buy my first skinny jeans with a long cardigan last week. Our weather is just too cold for me to wear it now I need 5 degrees hotter.

I didn't know what a waterfall cardigan was, but thanks to you and Google I do now. Very lovely!

Re the Quinoa, I find it somewhat bitter all on its own. So I usually combine it with other grains like bulgur, which we love.

Thanks for the stories about Lily role playing. It brings back such happy memories from my nieces' childhoods - and my own!
