I've just returned from the ice rink and I'm currently snuggled up in my winter blanket, eating a delicious fruit salad and watching The Muppet Christmas Carol, which is my favourite rendition of The Christmas Carol so I'm as happy as a clam.

Happy 1st Advent! I've had such a great weekend. I visited my father and little sister and we went to an advent market, did some Christmas shopping, walked around my hometown, ate some very good food, watched some Christmas films and just generally had a marvellous time. I also managed to get 7 hours of sleep for two nights in a row which was ( Read more... )

I've had an incredibly productive week. I've managed everything on my agenda -- and I even got to take a nap this weekend! I hope I'll be able to keep up the pace for the next couple of weeks.

It was the first National Theatre Live production I've ever ( Read more... )

This week has been a bit of a mixed bag. Overall, it was a great week that went by really quickly. There was one hiccough on Wednesday, though. I had sort of an incident with a student who behaved really disrespectfully towards me. I won't go into detail; it was very unpleasant and he is no longer my student ( Read more... )

4 working days this week.... I could get used to that, no doubt. It made me feel like I had a head start for the entire week. Lately I have been trying hard to keep my Sundays free. I really need them to catch up on some minor cleaning, picture editing, blogging, cooking, napping and other things I don't usually have time for during the week. ( Read more... )
