Make new friends
Some progress..?

I realised I can probably say now I have 3 or ‘friends’ who I’m seeing about once a month now and chat with a bit online. It would be nice to be able to catch up with some of them more regularly for a coffee but we’ll get there!



visit new york
dates chosen

This is going ahead for next Jan, I know it will be COLD! But I’m hoping that going in Jan will make it a bit cheaper and there is some sort of restaurant festival on which should be good.
Next step: book flights



Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful. (read all 207 entries…)
17th Nov

1 – We managed to find D a suit that fit well yesterday without too much trouble
2 – It’s not too grey or cloudy today
3 – finding interesting ways to use up stale bread – yum french toast!
4 – getting out of the house last night to a talk and wine & cheese night
5 – finding the courage to decide to go away for 2 days next week with my days off. I usually don’t like travelling by myself but I definitely need a break and I’m not going far. I think it will be fun!
