That 40-day thing; 4

In the midst of sticking to (half of) my hereditary messily.

That 40-day Thing; 3

“Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked.

'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat.

'I don't know,' Alice answered.

'Then,' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter.”

I took a different road, I got lost but loved it.

The blessing of anonymity; the blessing of coffee; the blessing of knitwear. 

That 40-day thing; 1

Lent. I never knew what it entailed, apart from the 40 day period where Christians give up 'something'. A quick search online told me more specifically that its a period where Christians give up 'luxuries' and 'practice self-discipline'. I've been a Christian all my life, is it bad that I didn't know this? 

Anyhow, I was asked and asked this year about what I was going to give up this year for lent. And found nothing. I couldn't think to anything I loved so much, it was taking over my life. (Apart from the people I surround myself with. Sorry God, no matter how much of a luxury they are to me, I am not giving them up.) And the two things I love so much are virtually out of my life. Photography and blogging. I can't remember how I thought of this, I think I was on the tube people watching or something inspiring. But I decided for 40 days, I want to post a picture a day (or more), of absolutely anything, no rules, apart from the picture has to be taken by me. 

This is a huge challenge for me right now, my life is all over the place atm, I nearly have no time for anything anymore. But I think I'm gonna feel good and proud if and when I complete this. So here goes instalment number one. 

About time I felt proud about being a londoner. 

I'm Sorry, But

Like, oh my gosh. what. can i cry yet?

Winter Wonders

Winter; by far my favourite season. Of knit wear, Christmas markets, all my family's birthdays, churros, eating fests and the cold. I love the cold, it makes it acceptable to stay at home and snuggle in a onesie. Winter; also the season where everyone develops a new found respect for hot chocolate and roast pork. Winter; the season that allows you to wrap up and hide your ugliness (inner or outer) from the world. 

Sometimes you just need a lil Korean in you

Churros number two.

Left over cake, microwaved 30 seconds later.

Churros number three. Lady selling these felt extra nice and gave this to us free. Best tasting churros ever.

Not London Eye
