Feeling blue

Hmm... It was a good day today but now I feel a bit... :-( No worries, I know I'll feel better when I wake up tomorrow morning.

Battery Park, NYC

From Battery Park you can see the statue of liberty, but we don't have a megazoon on our camera so you won't see it in this video, unfortuantely. It was a pleasant but grey day in NYC (Me and D went there in November last year). I was interested in the helicopter in the background, but as you can see in the video, D didn't quite see the cool thing about it...

Patience is a virtue...

...and my hubby's got a lot of it! I wanted to try out my new hair straightener but it's kind of difficult to do it on yourself so I decided to play around with it on D. I must say it worked miracles on D's naturally wavy hair, although he wasn't very happy with what I had exposed him to... I'll make it up to him with a nice dinner!

Saturday in Chinatown

Chinatown in London is a curios place. It's so exotic with the marinated Beijing ducks in the shop windows and red paper lanterns decorating the street. We had lunch there - Some Dim Sums - and thereafter going for some pearl tea as a desert. Unfortunately we had to ditch the pearl tea idea, as the pearl tea place were out of pearls...

The second mission of the day was to find me a late Christmas present. We found it at Selfridge's: A hairstraightner. The people who know me more or less know my hair naturally is as straight as a... well I don't have any good examples of anything straight, but it's safe to say it's very very straight - back to my point: It also curls and waves and when the sales guy tried it on my hair it actually didn't go straight again after 2 seconds. That never happens!! I was very happy so I told my darling that THIS intelligent tool was my Christmas present!! The cool thing is that it's actually tiny! Have a look at the photo!

Another thing I found in Selfridge's leftover sales was a pair of Diesel jeans. 50% off! Good deal! C is very happy!

Finally home!!!

Who says some retail therapy doesn't cheer you up?

I know - I'm completely irresistable

Aaaah!!! It feels o good to be home!! Our clients made us get up really early in the morning to monitor a work process, so we missed the breakfast at the hotel!!! :-( I mean, the breakfast is the best part about staying at a hotel!!! Well, we worked hard until 1pm, when I almost felt like eating my own arm... Fortunately I didn't. I settled for a yummy burger instead.

The trip home took 5 hours from door to door, since we managed to finish in time to be at the airport 2 hours before the flight. The flight itself takes just a bit over an hour. If you're me and you have 2 hours at an airport - you buy stuff. I got something for me and a little something for my hubby... It was a great deal! 2 for 1!! I got myself a Thierry Mugler perfume, "Alien - Eau Luminescente" and the old classic Davidoff "Cool Water" for David.

Now I feel so relaxed, after having a hot bubble bath. I also look smashing with the mud mask I have put on my face! I'm princess Fiona from the Shrek movies!

My 1st visit to Edinburrrgh!!!

This is the cosy big bed I'm going to sleep in tonight!

My day started very early - at 5:10. Taxi to Stansted airport at 5:30. Had a nice brekkie in the airport and then on to the plane. As usual I was sleeping before takeoff and woke up just before we started to ascend towards Edinburgh airport.

The work day was pretty tough!! We arrived at the JP Morgan office at 10:00 and were super efficient through the day until 5pm. That's when we kind of ran out of energy.

Tomorrow we're going to have to get up early as well as we have to document an early work process, with JP Morgan again. Thank god it's Friday tomorrow!!!

Now I'll go out for dinner and have a look at Edinburgh city with my colleague! I'll take some more pictures then and upload them if I have the time.

Edinburgh

Edinburgh old town

Tomorrow I have to get up at 5am!!! That's almost cruel!!! The reason is that I have to take a taxi to the Airport to go to Edingburgh, Scotland. I'm staying till Friday afternoon. It's not for pleasure - just business. Well, I've never been to Edinburgh so I'll try to get a bit of tourist pleasure out of it anyways!

At least it's not Monday!

Me in the sun

Wow, that headline really sounded like a "pull-me-down"... No, there's nothing wrong, really. I just feel like having some fun in the sun! London in January is far from sunny and I feel like relaxing on a beach some place hot...

My brother went to Egypt recently and he said he got a lot of sun there... Hmmm... I might have a sneak peak onto some travel agent website very very soon!!

Just a little whish...

...for the shoe fairy! If I had a lot of money I would buy myself a pair of Christian Louboutin classic black heals on a rainy Monday like today just to cheer myself up!!

Camden Town

Latest fashion in Camden Town

"Doughnuts...Gaaahh!!.." (like Homer Simpson)
Me and Papa Englund
Mmmmm!!! Tempura!

The weather was milder today, so it was a great day for going to funky Camden town. It wasn't as crowded as usual. Don't know if it's because of the credit crunch, but it was kind of weird...

Later we had a home made tempura dinner. Chefs: David and my Mom. It was delicious!
