So, I'm stealing her recent doings post idea and slightly adapting it to me (because I don't do cross-stitching and do other things instead!).
Eating: All the food! Today, I ate THE most exquisite Pain au Chocolat from Milanese, Italian bakery in Soho for breakfast and then a sort of olive, tomatoey bread thing for breakfast! And then a free-Lasagne in Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho. And last night, Chinese takeaway at our friend Nath's house- I had my favourites: Salt and Pepper King Prawns and Singapore Vermicelli, having eaten fruit for breakfast and a left-over Foccacia and a bag of bacon crisps for lunch! On Friday, I ate a delicious Scrambled Egg and Pancetta breakfast at Stop the World Cafe and then ate Delia's Thai Salmon in Filo pasty at my Dad and Step Mum's house. This dish is delicious- I requested it as my first meal post-living in Bali when I was 22! Too much eating out this week!
Drinking: A watermelon chill at Pizza Express, Earl Grey tea in my Thermos and a Earl grey in Gail Bakery after our gig!

| Reading at the cafe |
Watching: The Sarah Jane Adventures on DVD and the Crystal Maze on Channel 4! I love that it is back on!
Celebrating:
The wedding of our music camp friends last week (mentioned in Peacock post), celebrating the sun on Friday and a successful gig today!
Making: Numerous cups of tea. Sadly, not done ANY making this holiday and I was planning to!

Playing: played my viola in a gig with a Jazz ensemble, Cold Light Ensemble at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho today! Very cool to play in this venue that we recently saw the brilliant Joey Alexander play at!
Also played my flute with my quartet on Tuesday.
Buying: Hmmmm, many things! 2 dresses and a top this week. Also 2 dresses last week in Northumberland. And a Clara skirt from a French girl on Vinted! All charity shop except the pink dress. And about 20 books in charity shops and some in Forum Books in Northumberland. Luckily, many of the books were presents for my sister. But still.
Booking: Not really anything...yet!
Burning: Nothing. I'm terrible at actually remembering to burn candles. I quite fancy burning some Eucalyptus oil in our bedroom though as I love the smell!
Also seeing cars!
Hearing: Music I have been playing!
Exercising: 20 miles cycling yesterday- my muscles feel it today! Also went to the Grand Celidh club on Wednesday night with my friend Anne. Amazingly good fun and only 6 mins on the train from my local station!!!!
Moaning: about cycling downhill without the brakes on. Cannot do it and CBC gets very cross with me over my fear!
What have you been up to recently?

Cycling downhill with the brakes on! I share your nervousness on that one
ReplyDeleteOh and I have been busy at my daughter's wedding!
ReplyDeleteWhat????? Did Steph get married?????!!! Congratulations!!!
DeleteYou my dear, live a lovely life full of diversity. I'm so happy for you that you are having such a good time. Here my life is really dull in comparison. The food sound so good. Enjoy all the good things that you can.
ReplyDeleteGoing down hill without brakes can be a bit dangerous in my simple opinion. It's a good thing you wear a helmet.
Have a great week. Hugs, Julia
What a cheerful post! Can't wait to see you in that pretty vintage frock! xxx
ReplyDeleteAll that food looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid to even get on a bike never mind cycle down hill without braking. (Well, I would get on if you could guarantee I wouldn't have to cycle on a single road!)
I change my verbs based on what I've been doing. "Burning" is a relatively new one.
I love this post, Kezzie, giving little peeks inside your life. Love the frocks! How cute is that pink one! I've only recently bought a new bike and, being completely out of practice, I feel a bit wobbly even thinking about cycling downhill! xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a post... you'll be shocked to here I've mostly been doing house-related-things! Though we did all visit a pond full of toads over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love the watermelon chill from Pizza Express too.

That looks yummy!!! I would love to try your cooking.
ReplyDeleteSpeedy death seems like an interesting mystery. I've been reading a lot lately but somehow I can't find the time to write proper book reviews.
If you are to afraid to go downhill without brakes, they you probably shouldn't do it. I used to cycle a lot when I was younger and I got in all sorts of accidents (nothing serious but I did ruin a bike or two) because I was too adventurous and sometimes plain stupid. For example I went down an outdoor stairway because I thought it might be fun- I accidentally touched the brakes and ended up flying off my bike and landing really badly.
What a busy bee and a really fab way to round up all that's been happening. I think I may steal this idea for when my birthday year posts come to an end and I go back to 'normal' life.
ReplyDeleteLove the new dresses and well done on the bike ride and all I can say is brakes are there for a reason!

You've been up to a lot! The food looks amazing, and I think your new clothes are just adorable, especially that pink plaid dress. You are so brave in your dressing habits, and I admire that so much! Be brave when cycling also, haha!! :)
ReplyDeleteMe? I've been puttering around in the greenhouse, doing church things, and chatting with my soon-to-be-married daughter.
Wow, you have been up to a lot ...
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying the sunshine recently.
All the best Jan
