I’m that kind of girl.
I’m the kind of girl who makes her own bouillon cube. I’m the kind of girl who makes her own ravioli (albeit rarely). I’m the kind of girl who makes her own IKEA meatballs. With the sauce. I’m the kind of girl who makes… Continue Reading “I’m that kind of girl.”
Reclaimed Sunday
As I was saying in my previous post, today I unexpectedly found myself with time on my hands. Being a bit less than happy I decide to fix me up with some yummy Sunday lunch. Eggs, bacon, crumpets (crumpets!) ((CRUMPETS!!)) and a nice healthy orange-mandarin-lime… Continue Reading “Reclaimed Sunday”
The perfect desktop
I had a good day about two weeks ago. I bought a third-hand IKEA table. Saw an ad for it on a website for Anglo-Saxons in Madrid. Some man named Ben was selling it for ten euros. It sounded like a good buy, and during the… Continue Reading “The perfect desktop”
Little pockets of happiness
Sometimes everything seems to go wrong. And then the cupcakes you make for Valentine’s day come out right. And you make the yummiest duck breast-pear-pine nut salad. And you paint the otter you’ve been wanting to paint for as long as you can remember.… Continue Reading “Little pockets of happiness”
Mind over matter
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
Nesting
I do it all the time. Especially because I’m rarely in the same place more than three months. I do it every time I move and go to somewhere “new”, even though the somewhere “new” is a house I’ve been to and/or lived in… Continue Reading “Nesting”
The Lure of Friday Nights (at home)
It seems as if I am not a Party Animal. I had sort of realized this before today, but I just felt like confirming it officially today. I have been living in Granada for a month and a half and I have gone out… Continue Reading “The Lure of Friday Nights (at home)”
Saturday realization N1 (hoping more illuminating Saturdays will come my way)
Today I was sitting in bed, under the duvet. I still am, as it happens. I had a very satisfying day: chores and food-shopping in the morning (the 600gr entrocote steak I bought was my present to myself for my first payday); meeting up… Continue Reading “Saturday realization N1 (hoping more illuminating Saturdays will come my way)”
Chinese shops and the power of smell
I have a decent sized kitchen, here in Granada. But having two flatmates that are used to living without the third, space is scarce. I have been allocated a cupboard with two shelves and a shelf in the fridge. The cupboard has all the carbs:… Continue Reading “Chinese shops and the power of smell”
Avrei voluto… **** I would have wanted…
..iniziare di nuovo questo blog parlando della disoccupazione. Della difficoltà nel trovare un lavoro, del fatto che dopo due anni dalla laurea avevo solamente fatto lavori non pagati e saltuari. Parlare dell’ansia che mi assaliva ogni volta che aprivo il computer, controllavo la posta,… Continue Reading “Avrei voluto… **** I would have wanted…”
First Days
So. I got here on saturday morning and things have been quite hectic since. I have been trying to keep a diary during the days. Up to now I cuddled a tame cheetah, I met all the residents of the farm including a pack… Continue Reading “First Days”
Getting Started
It’s just two days before I leave, and I decided to create a blog. To maybe get where facebook doesn’t. So, here I am, writing a quick post for anyone who will read this before I finish working on the blog! I hope you’ll… Continue Reading “Getting Started”
Together with Nicole Duplaix, Chair of the IUCN-SSC Otter Specialist Group , I wrote a book all about otters and how wonderful they are. Check it out We Love Otters
