A wee catch up

Flippin heck. I am the worst blogger ever aye!

Let me do a quick catch up to present day then I'll do a bumper birthday one (fuck, I turned 29. and the weird thing is I actually feel 29....urghhhh)

- Conor had a birthday so we went to a nice Thai restaurant where a random guy on another table put a penny in my wine and tried to make me down it. I wasn't impressed. Someone in his group then bumped into a shelf full of beer and smashed them all on the floor....they had to pay for it all. haha. Conor lives in a house with a sunken hot tub in the conservatory. Amazeballs. The sad thing is it doesn't work.





- Me and Matt went on a weekend down to Port Waikato.  He kite surfed and I watched - I managed to fly a little bit on his back on the land which was fun but hard.  It was a nice weekend - the weather was a bit miserable but I embraced it and played in the shallows like a big kid.  On Sunday it was too windy to surf (though it didn't stop Matt from trying) so we left Port Waikato and headed to Pokeno market which was quite cute, had lunch then drove to Manukau Heads again because he hadn't been there and it's awesome.








- It's the month of birthdays - Clemence also had a birthday.  We went to go see Macklemore and Ryan Lewis which was pretty awesome though I did feel a bit old, he's nice live and had lots of peace loving messages to give throughout the night. I only knew 3 songs but it was good nonetheless! At the end we had our photo taken with one of the support acts who was outside roaming the crowds practicaly begging for people to take photos with him. Bless. She then had a party on the weekend which was good fun but I was suffering from a rubbish cold so was a bit of a bore.






- I got hit by a bus. HAHAHAHA such a sensasionalist bullet point. My car got nudged by a bus and when I got out and asked the driver for her details everyone on the bus started shouting at me and saying it was my fault (I don't think it was - I was stationery and she was moving and hit me) but never mind. Luckily there's only a little mark and it was more the shock of people shouting at me but I survived!

Umm so really there isn't much to talk about....I had a nice weekend away just gone but I'll save that for another post. I have picked up extra hours at work doing data entry so I have been working mad hours, plus I signed up for another yoga thing so I have basically been working or yoga or hanging out at Matt's house, nothing particularly exciting.  I am excited for the weather to start getting better and evenings less dark so I can do more things - currently winter here is like winter back home!!!

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

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

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 -
