A NEW HOME IS A NEW BEGINNING they say

 

IT has been a week since your beloved LDN Girl changed her dwelling place. Her humble self now occupies a cosy bedroom on the second floor of in a three bedroom house in the lovely area of Gants Hill. Close to various shops, cafes and mostly pubs she finally feels at peace. It is not with regret that she remembers the days spend in Brussels with one of her most beloved and admittedly craziest friends of all… the ladiest ladybug of them all, but with love and betraying giggles of remembrance!

 But today I will not write about my homesickness ( if my friends defy my home) but of my newest adventure which included decoration, cleaning and most of all saving myself from a shower of squirrels who are now the friendly occupants of my backyard. I shall not even think of the aggrieving way in which I was forced out of my old “home”. People with thin souls make me sad, but it is to their loss not to mine.

 So there it goes. My charming new home has everything but book shelves and lots and lots of candles, but soon amends will be made. The last two days I devoted to refurbishing and decorating and in two days’ time my faithful knight in shining armour would help me to build my own bookshelves to fill with the adventures of other heroes and heroines, for now, I am doomed satisfy my hunger for dreams with movies and with books from the library. I have been reading about witches and moths and had given one too many nights to modern drama and of course philosophy of making popcorn with extra butter.

 I joined the nearest library and the medical centre just in case the neighbours want to keep my insanity under strict observation and not the least I have trained myself in the mysterious art of lock-changing and fixing toasters, and fridges. What can I say I am a bitch, I’m a lover, I’m a warrior, I’m a mechanic, I’m a painter, I’m a cleaner… I do not feel ashamed! And what is more I have bettered myself in losing my way around East London. Although the close vicinity of Valentines Park tempts me to lose my way around the park I still do not possess the courage to do so by myself.

 I did some jogging and I have put my mind on swimming again, but one step at a time… Do not rush me into life… Have patience as my life goes more and more exciting…

So here I am:

Same LDN Girl

Different post code

Ever thine

Ever mine

Ever ours

I HAVE TAKEN UP CARTOONS :P

LAPTOPLESS TO LAPTOPFUL

THERE is nothing I love more than a rainy day. And luckily enough London has a lot to offer on that bit :) It is the only time when I get to cuddle guiltless with a book and tea and have some me time. And I admit, almost proudly,  I have embezzled my coach for quite a while recently... I am a villain, a scoundrel and mostly a book addict, sue me!

Yes, yes, I know there would be a lot of scolding on your behalf, because it has been ages since I last blogged, but please, bear with me for a while until I tell you my latest and my not so fresh stories from the last couple of weeks. 

No longer than to two days after my last blog, my laptop - my dear, poor, old Chekhov (don't laugh it is one of my peculiarities: I name my technology and you are in no need to hear how I named my camera and my phone) fell under the vicious spell of a virus and lost all its video, internet and audio drivers. As a person devoted to her online activities it is surprising to admit that I took it quite calmly. I didn't rush fixing the damn machine, because I decided to embark on a journey of simple living, away from technology and closer to nature and people.

I am not a sociopath you know, I do love communicating and mingling, occasionally. Besides as the end of October was approaching I was all excited about my first Halloween here - pumpkin carving, Supernatural marathon, cupcake baking and of course the casual Trick or Treating. Nothing magical or extraterrestrial, I promise, but I ended up with a new hair color and plans for transforming myself into a pink-haired mystical book lover, or better yet a librarian.

I haven't gone totally bonkers, have I? I do admit having one too many hot chocolate drinks, but still I am pretty sure sugar has no hold on my brains, yet :D

And now almost a month later I am back to "normal" and catching up with my cyber-self and most of all continuing with my blog. The one thing I am really pleased with from my month away is that I finally got back on track with my sleeping habits. I am no longer an owl, I am a regularly sleeping gal.

So this is it, my friends. Keep following my blog for more of the stories of a LDN Girl with a working laptop...

xoxo
