Wednesday Wrap-up

Holy moly! On est mercredi? Déjà???

How time flies when you're having fun. Otherwise known as: how time flies when you're working full time (and aren't used to it at all).

Apart from hanging with the Mouse himself, I attended a wonderful thanksgiving lunch, met some new friends for drinks, enjoyed open-mike night at the PopIn (some serious talent!), tore through more novels, wrote in my diary and rehearsed for my upcoming orchestra concerts. I've received my first pay cheque and think I may spend it on shoes and booze. Pourquoi pas?



Hope you're all having wonderful weeks. There's lots to look forward to this month!

Les yeux

Just a minute in November

Reading... so much! I churned through seven books this month. I just finished Brideshead Revisited over dinner tonight.

Listening...to This American Life podcasts on the train. So good.

Watching... the weeks fly by! Disney parades at work! The occasional gossip girl episode online!

Buying... a Winter coat, finally. And socks.

Wanting... more sleep and more sunshine. Paris Winter gloooooom.

Cooking.... quinoa and corn; japanese eggplants.

Making... plans for next year: I just applied for a post graduate diploma.

Loving... life, pretty much all the time.


Post a link to your Just a Minute if you've also written a summary of the month that was.

A list of lists

Or, amusing lists in my diary.

As a Virgo, I like nothing more than to open up a fresh page in my diary and jot down a neat little list. I choose my favourite ink colour for the day and write out a heading and make uniform dot points down the page. I get a great deal of satisfaction in crossing off items, striking them through.

So here's a sample of lists made in my diary:

• My guide to getting a boyfriend in three easy steps


• How to call in sick for work


• Things I would like to eat in New York


• How to prepare for my Dior interview


• Paris is crazy, or I took drugs last night


• Reasons why it's good I didn't sleep with Noel Fielding


• How to make my life Awesome


• This morning I didn't know where I was. My thought process was as follows

Daily Outfit: Quick trip to the shops

Sunny day. Sequin Cat in jeans. What is happening to the world?

Wednesday Wrap-up

It's late and I'm oh-so-tired. My 'jours de repos' from my new job at Disneyland weren't very restful at all. After working seven days straight (phew!) I had a cultured two days off and attended two photography exhibitions, a stand-up comedy show and saw live music. All accompanied by mojitos.

Other great things have been seeing my friends who were travelling in Africa for eight months (!!), meeting Scandinavian people, buying a Winter coat (finally), home-cooked meals, orchestra rehearsal and filling my belly with laughter.

There's only 35 days left in the year and so much to squeeze in!
