Mum stayed at Lana’s last night and Dulcie went out with her friend so I had the evening to myself, which I enjoyed. Not that I did a lot; I spent the majority of the evening in my room reading the Perils of Perception book and had Bonnie lying down next to me. I’m determinedContinue reading “Thursday 6th August”

I’ve been teaching myself Polish this morning. I’ve learnt how to introduce myself both formally and informally – Dzien dobry! My plan is to do a little bit every day so that when I eventually meet Marta’s family I’ll be able to say a few things to her grandparents. Ive also read another chapter ofContinue reading “Wednesday 5th August”

I moved out of my Limehouse flat on Sunday – the cleaner cancelled on us last minute so the four of us (plus Lana and Marta) did the deep clean ourselves. I felt that we did a thorough job and actually enjoyed doing it. After cleaning, the four of us and Marta went for TurkishContinue reading “Tuesday 4th August”

We are going up to Lana’s today for Dulcie’s birthday. We are having dinner at a restaurant at 5pm then heading to a cocktail bar in Soho around 7pm where Marta will meet us. My back still hurts a little but I may try to do the pressups workout. I move out of the LimehouseContinue reading “Friday 31st July”

I wasn’t able to exercise today as I’ve got lower back pain. I’ve had a pretty uneventful day spending most of it on FM20 and reading the French Revolution book. It’s shocking to learn of la terreur and how it stemmed from populist politicians “out-populisting” each other to the degree that if you did notContinue reading “Thursday 30th July”

I have been reading more of my book on the French Revolution this week and have found it fascinating now that I’ve reached the 1790s period. A strong parallel with today is the wide distribution of fake news/conspiracy theories which rile up the masses. It is also interesting how the different factions of the NationalContinue reading “Wednesday 29th July”

On Friday we went up to see Billy and had a Shepherd’s pie with him. Mum then dropped me off in Limehouse where I had a few beers with Remy and Maia while I waited for Marta to come round. n We ordered a couple of pizzas – one had ricotta and apple, the otherContinue reading “Tuesday 28th July”

Uncle John open’s the Gardener’s Arms pub up today – I’m really excited for him and Sarah. I briefly spoke about this with my mum yesterday and we both feel proud that John is running the main pub in Higham. Mum said who would have thought that when they moved to Higham in the 60sContinue reading “Thursday 23rd July”

It has been a long time since my last post and a lot has happened! I had an offer accepted on a house with Dulcie, secured a new role, got made redundant from my previous company and have spent a lot of time with Marta. I have also discovered Philosophy Tube on YouTube which hasContinue reading “Wednesday 22nd July”

What has happened in the last 7 days? Yesterday Tao left to go back to uni in Norwich; I can now do the concentric and eccentric parts of the diamond press ups (not for many reps) and I watched the most recent Star Wars film. Strangely, I actually enjoyed the Star Wars film even thoughContinue reading “Wednesday 20th May”
