i’m healthy and happy and have always ate normally (apart from bad habit of skipping breakfast now and then) but i have had a few comments in the past which include the word anorexia which drive me nuts… i mean, maybe people should think it hurts just as much to be told your skinny & boney as it does to be told you’re fat! So- i guess i just have to put in the hard work. lots of food lots of weights. But what’s the ideal foods? Thats not going to clog my arteries?? Hmmm.

i think my problem is if i haven’t washed the dishes or made sure i have good food to hand i just can’t be bothered with it! Perhaps all this goes hand in hand with becoming a morning person.

Visas are only going to allow me 6 months but I’d be happy being in Seattle for even a month. I want to get back there – loved it.

Last visit my boyfriend and I looked after a womans condo (and cat!) in Capitol Hill which worked out perfect, so as we rent a warehouse space near Shoreditch in London UK, if any nice trustworthy soul fancies a similar swap for a few weeks we’d be more than happy!

I’ve managed to do it at Karaoke box in soho once, but I’m still in search of the best place in london. I only know good places in Melbourne and Aucklnad NZ.

managed LA – vegas-grand canyon, back along some of old route66, and then all the way up the coast to seattle. Loved it, but want to see more more more!

a beautiul night like most are in the coramandel New Zealand, having cooked and eaten mussels from the rocks by candlelight, laughed and played cards and listened to music till the generator ran out. Then down to the beach to swim in the moonlight and we couldn’t believe it. It was magical. One memory to remain a lifetime. GO DO IT!

living in london and surraounded with vietnamese, caribbean, thai, chinese, indian, all sorts, of food stores.. i want to learn what all the foods I don’t know about are for. Must ask, buy, learn.

I’m AWFUL in the mornings. I’ll get up at 10 or 11 if I am allowed. And then feel rubish that my day is so short, especially in winter. Adn I KNOW that mornings are amazing, and that my days are fuller, but it’s just so HARD! I think singing first thing is a good idea but not sure my boyfriend would agree?!

i think i might try ebay – a friend bought paintings from there so i think i might try my luck.

i really want to get on a good jewellery making and silversmithing course before i even attempt to sell anything though

i need to find good UK supplier of t-shirts and stuff as i’d like to sew and print onto them, but most places just sell awful big thick tees and sweaters that are totally unflattering. I guess I could buy second-hand!

i’ve started a list in a molskine cahier (moleskine US and moleskine UK) and want to do at least one each week, tick them off as I go. cafes, bars, parks, galleries, car boot sales. And it’s all much easier having a bike to get there!

i used to love it at secondary school helping out with reading at the local primary school, but i wonder if schools are a bit over sensitive these days about letting any old person in to help out? I need other suggestions – like helping out in a local park. I like gardening!

mu sister-in-law makes lovely ones, silky on one sife and furry on the other. I need to get my sewing machine back off a friend first though before I can start. One step at a time.

like the world service, and more classical music. i want to be able to get radio on my ipod otherwise i’m going to buy a real old-school radio as I’m not much into online feeds.
