Travelling around the lounge room this week.

I've not blogged in a while, and while I am tempted to tell you that this is because I have been far too busy mingling with my new incredibly good looking, fun and famous new friends, that's not the case at all.  In truth.. I haven't had all that much to blog about about. Unless of course, anybody is interested me recounting to them the entire first season of 'Game of Thrones'?

Don't give up on this post yet though, because I do have some mildly interesting things to tell you, and I'll even include some pictures.

I told you they were good-looking

My last night in Brighton was better than my first. I danced, I met some very lovely people, drank several G&Ts and stayed out very late! It took me about six hours to get back to Surrey the next day - a journey which really should only take two. I think the issue was a combination of my thudding hangover, my lack of understanding of the transport system, and pure laziness. oh.. was i meant to be on that train..? damn. But I got back eventually, fell on the couch and watched CSI re-runs until I fell asleep. I barely moved until Tuesday.

I can actually see how it would be appealing to climb in at 5am when its cold and you're pissed... 

Aside from watching far too many cliched crime shows, this week has been largely uneventful. I have not been feeling very well, so have been resting and enjoying having a house to myself to do so. I did go for a nice bike ride to buy some books, and I have been going for walks, just so that my muscles don't go completely limp from lack of use. 

Oh, have I mentioned that i booked my trip to Paris? I leave on March 6, and I'm going for 2 weeks. I've arranged to stay with a woman in her spare room, right in the middle of Paris, so that should work well. She is Irish (so speaks English) and seems keen to show me around a little. I found this through airbnb.com which is a cool service for finding short term accommodation. It's not costing too much (for Paris). I'm with her until the 11th, and then have 2 nights at the end where I'll need to stay elsewhere, but that will be easy. I can figure something else out. I'm very excited about paris, there are so many things I want to see there. 

I have also been applying for jobs in London, the practical side of me knows I will have to get one, the travelling side of me wants to kick that idea right in the balls. But there we go, practicality you win again, one must work to support one's travel I suppose. I think I will apply for jobs elsewhere in the UK too, and let fate have it's way with me. Surely wherever the work is, I will find a home, and wherever I find a home, I will find friends, and then I will be happy there, for a bit of time, until I get bored of it and move again. That's the plan anyway, not to stay still too long. 

I have been making some amazing food while living alone. I've loved eating so many vegetables, completely cutting out lactose and not cheating one little bit (that's right cheese, you will not defeat me!!) I made stuffed capsicums, and stuffed eggplants, delicious fajitas, pasta with tuna and capers and lemon and veggies.. Roast chicken with lemon and garlic and thyme.. So many salads... I really enjoy cooking. I have no concept of how to cook for one person though, so I have a fridge full of leftovers, which is wonderful for lunch.

Anyway, I'm rambling now, so here is a picture of me. It isn't recent. 

In fact it is probably about 20 years old
