Wrapping up the year by checking off and delegating some tasks. Whoo hoo. Vacation is almost here. Love how concerned my hairdresser is about my happiness. Same hairstyle, slightly shorter and just the volume I like. Been appointed as travel guide to India. Makes me laugh so hard. Whiskey trouble. A surprise visit to wish […]
A gift of a box of Manolitos for the fantastic work done… Absolutely yummy! Just 2 things to finish with before I’m on vacation. So glad that there are no major fallouts from all the migrations I’ve been playing with. Decided to catch up with A and T and boy, did I love being around […]
Gone live. Hiccough, but through. Found a few lovely restaurants… Chueca be interesting. Christmas lights…. 11 meter 500+ lights or little Christmas tree lights… Love them all!
Tiny issues that we were prepared for, but yet not prepared for. So glad we managed to fix everything. The wisdom of the elephant whisperer – If the trunk faces downwards, it’s bad luck. My ex-boss was gifted one and he got a corner office and a promotion. Couldn’t stop laughing at whoever came up […]
Wore my strange, new coat today. Doesn’t keep warm, but does get a lot of attention. A surprise invitation. Strangely things fell into place for me to be in a position to accept it. Glad I did. Found the perfect pair of boots… counting down to the sales already 🙂
Getting to use terms like “kebab mein haddi” and “zindabaad” in Spain … ah the joy. It’s amazing how 3 South Indians can meet in a church, speak different languages and yet understand each other. A willing “yes, I’ll join you”, from 2 church-mates on hearing that I’m going shopping alone. Nothing beats finding something […]
Went shopping for gifts, trying to come up with something for the long, long list of people back home that I will be meeting. Huge task — check. Feeling calm after getting most of the list covered. Maybe even a bit warm for going the extra mile to get something for a lady who doesn’t […]
A bad week ended with a bad day that just got worse. In desperate need of coffee and peace, we decided to stop trying to force things to work. Found a new pre-Christmas market. High quality and gorgeous items from around the world. This one gets added to my yearly traditions! Learned so many different […]
Finished a huge part of my project. Whoo hoo. Finally put a date to the last bit of this phase. Had to bluster about walking out if them dates weren’t honoured. The joy of being the only one willing to work with 8 different teams. Decided to start the day doing a good deed, stepped […]
6 of them in one go … and nothing anyone can complain about. 4 more to got for 100% closure. I finally found something that’ll get me into the kitchen. The smell of veggies and spices blending together as they fly in olive oil. Am glad I didn’t run into this guilty pleasure before. Create […]
