Hello January

My love and I at Tower Bridge on NYE, before our countdown to 2017 at CY's place

Hello January, you haven't been too kind to me.  Geez I've been working crazy hours since the beginning of the year.  There's just so much to do at work.  To much so that I haven't had time to do much. I need to get my life back.

So what's happening?

Yes you would most probably find us wrapped in a throw at home

...with our winter booties

It's been really cold these days although the cold was compensated with heavy snowfall one Thursday night, which was really beautiful.  I arranged to meet K after work somewhere in Kent and when the train pulled up at Chistlehurst station, I saw a blanket of white all over and I did a little gasp.  I saw heavy snow outside the train and it felt so magical.  I got off at Orpington and wow everywhere was white and I was so excited.  Snow-exciting!  I saw this girl standing near the door and we started chatting about what greeted us.  I went outside and waited for a local cab and even had to use the umbrella to shelter myself - that was how heavy it was.  After 15min I felt my umbrella getting heavier and heavier.  Of course, it was the weight of the snow!  After 2h it soon became a mix of rain and snow and by next morning, most of it had melted which was a little disappointing.  In any case, I was very glad to witness the snow that night.  It doesn't snow too much here in London.

The other day I tried my hand at selling three bags on eBay, I might blog about it next time.  My first eBay attempt, quite exciting :)

Jubilee Weekend | Afternoon Tea Party

http://www.thediamondjubilee.org/ Today is the end of the Jubilee celebrations and how better to end it off than to have an afternoon tea party in the company of friends, while watching the celebrations on our TV.  It has been quite an emotional afternoon, in the good sense of course.  I don't think I've ever seen Queen Elizabeth on TV (and heard the national anthem God Save the Queen) more than these 3 days combined, but this Jubilee weekend has made me grew to love and admire this lady.  She is 86 and reminds me so much of my own granny, and her strength is amazing.  Imagine being sworn in as queen at the age of 26.  (I mean, what was I doing when I was 26?)  On Sunday when she and Prince Philip went onboard the Spirit of Chartwell boat to watch the River Pageant, it was cold and windy but they stood throughout the 3 hours event.  It was said she was offered some hot tea and a seat, which she both said no to.  I love my grandma but I have to say I don't think

Sleep, baby sleep

I had an idea to blog about Isabelle's sleep behaviour the other day.  Before having Isabelle, I had not the slightest idea how big the sleep topic is for a baby, and now a toddler.  I merely assumed that babies will sleep, no matter what, right?  Because they are tired right?  No, of course not.  Isabelle showed me how much she could and can fight sleep even when she is tired.  As a new mum, I did not know how to read her sleepy signs, and more often than not, she would be overtired by the time I catch her signs and by then she is cranky and crying.  Oh the tears.  From Isabelle and mummy. The early months Sleep has always been an issue for me when Isabelle was born.  She cried non stop every evening for hours on end, and we had no idea what to do with her.  Colic was the word most used on such babies, and everyone comforted us that this difficult phase would be over within 3 months.  I still remembered uttering "3 months?!" under my breath.  Not 3 weeks?

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the role of Monsieur Bertrand, a f
