Pizza on a bus

In the interests of keeping the blog up to date and keeping Lisa and Leanne satisfied, here's a mini slightly unadventurous update...

Friday I met Gad after work and we went on an unintentional pub crawl.  I wanted to take him to the 'sexy bar' as I like to call it, however drinks are quite pricey so we started off in the cheaper pubs (Wetherspoons! classy bird!) before heading to the sexy bar, The Old Bengal Bar, in Liverpool St.  It's very dark, has exposed brick work, mirrored walls and red leather seats. Plus the piece de resistance - free peanuts! What more could you ask for!! After our fill of peanuts we headed to Pizza East but the queue was a crazy one hour long, so we ran for the train back to Peckham and stumbled across The Crust Conductor and the Brick Brewery.  I highly recommend both!  The Crust Conductor is an old red London bus with a pizza oven in the back and seating on the top deck - I love a gimmick and this is a great one!!! The pizzas were on the pricey side (circa £8 - not the largest either) but very nice, and the beer is fresh as it's made on site.  There's also fairy lights, home made seating, a barrel that's on fire for warmth and enough hipsters to knit an extra large snood with their beard and bun hair.  It's good!





Saturday I was ever so slightly hungover (don't down cocktails, kids!) and dragged myself out of bed to go shopping with Bex. Embarrassingly I had forgotten my purse and she had to pay for everything all day - love her! Spent too much money and still haven't managed to get any walking boots for my impending USA trip, whoops!  In the eve (after a power nap) we went to the Old Blue Last for Kim and Stu's birthday. I like it in there - nice music, nice vibe, but manky toilets.



Sunday I did the hardest hot yoga session yet - it was a real struggle. I think mainly because it was a variety of holding poses for a long time added to very quick sun salutations so it was much more of a work out than previous ones I have been to - achey today!  I then met Gad in central where his company were having a meet up with past and future volunteers, joined them for dinner, went for a few drinks and headed home tired but happy! The weather was pretty miserable which was a shame as there was lots of festivities on for Chinese New Year, but all the lanterns looked a bit bedraggled under the weight of the rain and wind. Roll on Summer!!

    Haha lisa, if I did a daily update it would read 'got up, went to work, went to yoga, went to bed' - absolutely nothing exciting happens daily! Except I did sit on a wet bus seat the other day. That was quite exciting. I did the stoic British thing of just pretending like it never happened and continued to sit until my stop. eww. xxx

Yoga

Alas, my month trial of hot yoga has come to an end. I am really going to miss it.  When I come back from the USA my plan was to pick up swimming again, but I am wondering if perhaps I should do the yoga again too, except it's so bloody expensive. I have learnt lots about my body this month.  I learnt that I can put it into all sorts of weird positions, and then hold the position.  Balancing is all in the mind - it requires focus.  If you think you can do it, you can. Deep breathing helps - it distracts you from the task (and usually the pain and discomfort) at hand and focuses your mind on something else.  Half pigeon hurts, but is bloody good for you.  I love Shavasana.  I am not as self conscious as I thought I would be.  Trying new things is good. I always thought yoga was for hippie types and I just didn't 'get it'.  The "ommmms" put me off, the weird pose names put me off, the deep breathing put me off and I thought it was just a fad.  But I really

I haven't written in AGES.  I have been pretty down in the dumps and haven't felt like writing.  A variety of things, starting with the stress of trying to find a job and not knowing if I could stay in the country or not, followed by moving out and cat sitting on my own for 6 weeks, followed by being led on and rejected for the 2nd time by Morrison followed by some family stuff at home making me feel a bit anxious, followed by moving back into my house and not feeling part of the flat anymore, followed by my new job being utterly ridiculous put me in a pretty shitty semi-constant mood, and it was a vicious cycle as I come home from work grumpy and exhausted and not want to join in flat festivities and hide in my room, which meant I only isolated myself further and made me feel lonelier than I already did. And with my impending birthday - the big THREE OH, being in a state of flux, realising that I was in the same place I was in when I left London 2 years ago - flatting, in a jo

End of year roundup

I thought I had an entire year to update on, but I forgot I did a post back in July - to be honest not much has changed since then.  It's currently 10am on one of the most beautiful weather days we have had in ages, but I can't enjoy it fully as I'm laid up with a sore throat, achey body and cough - annoying timing! I've been beating my body the last few months so I guess it's to be expected - my first proper break in a long time and my body's like nah- enforced rest, lie in bed all day.  So where did we last get to...   I went back home for August, which was an....interesting....experience. I never quite feel like I belong now - the UK doesn't feel like home, but it used to be home, so it's not like a holiday because you're stepping back into a life you used to live but it's moved on without you, just as you've moved on without it.  It costs so much money and takes so much time to go back that it should be a holiday, but it just isn't -
