Shrove Tuesday
I fell down this morning walking from Moorgate to The Gherkin. Bruised my knees and my elbows. Scuffed my ankle boots. My trousers gotten dirty and my winter coat too. I didn't hurt myself badly just my dignity. Slipped.
Embrassed myself instead.
Isabella is poorly. She stayed home from school. Pawel has moved into the flat and hopefully started demolishing.

Breakthrough
He is an accessory in my life. He can accept my terms and if he tried to dictate his terms he can now shove his terms up his perverbial.
Relaxing Monday
The weekend had been hectic. Found myself walking up and down Hampstead 4 times on Saturday and walked home from Kentish Town. It was hilarious though.
We bought Isabella her first adult bike on Saturday. It has 21gears, its mind boggling. She kept looking at the bike, ogling it and kept repeating the sentence, "its big, its huge". It has not hit her fully yet, that she is no longer on those Barbie bikes. She loves her bike, needless to say.
Her birthday party was on Saturday evening, a murder mystery dinner at a hotel in Russell Square. All her friends showed up and dressed up appropriately to play the role they were assigned to that evening and it was based upon The Curse of Soloman's ring in 1923. Chris and I went out to dinner at a local restaurant with some friends of ours, whilst the party was on.
Isabella later that evening proclaimed that it was one of her best birthday party ever. But she didn't realise how much work went into organising it all.
Sunday was more at a relaxing pace. I went to our local fishmonger, French/Japanese. He gave me tons of fish heads all free. How kind of him. We got chatting about him setting up a cookery school in the basement and his freebie Japanese tasting fish dishes this weekend. It was fun. I had fun, chatting about cultures and cuisines and living here.

Happy Birthday
Today is Isabella's birthday. She is 12. I feel that parent versus teen angst coming, is already happening but will increase in frequency as the months progresses.
What does she want to do for her birthday? She wants doughnuts, cakes and peas and rice tonight. So thats what it will be.
I had a quick coffee with Chris this morning, I was down his way buying Krispy Kremes, so we walked over to Starbucks and had a quick chat and coffee. Went over to Gherkin and bought her a cake from our favourite baker - Konditor & Cook.

Springy Tuesday
I like sitting at work where I am currently. It had taken me at least 6years to get another seat. I still have my office and I am happy about that but I spend the better part of my day here now. The dealers find it disconcerting but it livens up my day.
Parent teachers meeting this evening. Will it tell me something that I do not already know about my daughter? I doubt it.
Rumbling in the background is the organising Chris's surprise birthday party in April, a few days before we fly home. I am trying to get a few of his friends round for a meal. Chris being Chris hates a fuss being made. He never minded before. Old age, I guess. lol
Friday is Isabella's birthday. Saturday is her party.

Flat
Spent most of Monday chasing around. Went to Wickes, ordered 50meters worth of white walls and floor tiles. Bought some door knobs, I am hoping merely to transform the kitchen without spending too much money. So I bought 2 packs of silver door knobs. I had to purchase a new washer dryer as well as a new dishwasher, bought all Bosch products and from John Lewis. Bought new lighting, track halogen lights for the hallway, kitchen and the 2nd bedroom as well as wall lights for the living room and master bedroom.
Will have to buy some table lamps either for the living room and new lamp shades for the maybe a burgundy shades for the master bedroom as the have really dark wood fitted wardrobes. Throughout the flat the furniture are off a dark wood, so I will be having the flat painted in white; floor and ceiling. Accent colours will be in bold colours but thats only in cushions and maybe lampshades.
I am considering buying a nice sofabed for the second bedroom, once again white in colour. Once again thats due to the fact that fitted furniture is once again dark wood.
We went to a bike shop too and paid £300 for a new bike for Isabella's birthday. My little girl is nearly as tall as me these days, not that I am that tall, still. She will be 12 on Friday. Imagine, I am have 12year old.
