From a hotel in London

I am veeeery happy to be spending this weekend in London before I go to Mexico! It feels like I haven't spent quality time in London for a while, so it's good to come back for a little while. My family and I came to London to see the stage musical, Les Miserables. We got back from the theater just over an hour ago, the show was amazing, really spectacular! We were lucky enough to get pretty good seats too, which made the experience even better.

Before the show we had high tea at the Wolseley café, which used to be a car showroom. It was all black and White and gold everywhere, kind of old-modern style, if that even exists?! I had my favourite tea- jasmine, with finger sandwiches, cakes and scones <3. Generally I am anti-anything British, but scones with cream are my one exception, they're just too yummy! On my cake plate I had this most amazing pistachio and cherry sponge cake, with a swirl of cream on top. It was so sweet. Aand... I tried a macaroon for the first time- I had half of my mom's passionfruit, half dipped in chocolate macaroon, and it was out of this world delicious! I can't believe I have gone all my life without trying them till now <3 ah. So tomorrow, while I'm still here, I think I will be dragging my mom along on a macaroon hunt :)

Hmmm all this lovely food and no pictures :( the café had a lot of signs up saying 'no photography', which my dad said was because they frequently get celebrities visiting. Sadly no celebrity sightings this time, but last time just me and my mom went and we saw director Martin Scorsese! Soooo no pictures, but enjoy this postcard I picked up from the café, with the very tasteful hotel patterned blanket as the backdrop :/



Tomorrow should be another good day because I'm tagging along with my mom to the Pure London Fashion Industry Event! I am too excited :D

I hope you're having a woonderful weekend!

Where I reside, in the countryside.

I don't particularly like living here.


But a country walk when the air is perfect- warm but with a breeze- I guess I can kind of come to appreciate it.

I can blog from my iPhone so much more easily than with the computer. Thankyou Apple.

Brothers are great.

Hey. So this is a mini post from my iPhone to tell you that my computer is basically buggered. This is all thanks to my lovely little brother who managed to spill cheerios and milk all over the keyboard. Ever since the keyboard has gone, my computer has also been holding a grudge against life, and doesn't want to work with other keyboards. So, no posting from me for quite a while now! I'm away in Mexico after this weekend where I can't post either!

Blogging is a kind of therapy for me, a way that I can express a feeling, and be myself without having to worry about what people may think of what I'm saying. It's basically a habit now, to blog, so I don't know what I'm going to do over the next few weeks with all the locked-up thoughts that will accumulate in my mind. Hhmmm maybe I should actually write these thoughts down? It's probably better me writing things down as they come to me, as I am the kind of writer who as soon as they've set themselves up to write, the words get intimidated by the build up and just kind of run away. This has been easy for me to write becase I'm just chillin' in my room, not sitting in a chair or anything, not in front of a big scary screen that demands that I compose a blog post. Don't get me wrong, blogger is wonderful, just a bit hmmm computerish? Duh. Using my computer feels too restricted to use; it's a PC, and I find that I feel more free with macs. Is that a reallly weird thing to think? I don't know, PC's give me this kind of I-am-too-good-for-you vibe, they work in a set way and you kind of have to work the way that the computer wants you to. However, with mac products, they're kind of built around YOU- they are just kind of perfect to use, using my iPhone for the first time, it was like I subconsiously already knew how to use it, 'cause the way everything works is the way that you think it would. I don't know if that made any sense there, but at least I know what I mean!

Wellll you probably weren't expecting to read a debate of mac over PC when you started reading this post, but I didn't expect to be wrighting one, to be honest! But that's what a trail of thoughts does to you. This post didn't turn out to be particularly 'mini' either, as promised it would be at the start of this chain of words. But whatever, c'est la vie!
