Back to the UK I go

Last time I posted was about a month ago but a lot of things have happened since, it seems as if my life is getting more and more chaotic and unpredictable. The joys of being young and free!

Starting back off from Romania, came back to Barcelona for my final month, that was simply amazing! Made some more friends, had some more office parties and outings, went to London for training and had an amazing time, then following week off to Berlin to catch up with friends from Germany and UK! I will do a small stop at Berling, because I was blown away by how much I enjoyed it!! I was really excited and I was right, everything about the city excites me, from the food and markets, to the shops and techno parties everywhere, to the photobooths and art present everywhere, to the AIR concert and general people's vibe of the place! I got to see the Berlin wall that was hosting a Syria war exhibitions and reminded me of Amsterdam and the photo exhibition I was at with Fanni!

Also, Fanni came to visit and we had some time to catch up after I flew in from London! So after Berlin came the ending soon, also Pride BCN was amazing, luckily my company has a double decker that participates in the parade and a pre-party which were just beautiful! My last week was somewhat challenging as I got some new projects and I actually felt as if I might not be able to do them all, but finished well ahead of time and got ready to come back to the UK!

Now I am in Oxford, writing from the arms of my gianormous teddy, and I feel good, exhausted but good, and a bit anxious as I managed to lose all of my cards and documentation in my first day back. It has been stressful and everything is starting to settle, but I can assure you it is no fun, especially as I need to go to London to get a travel certificate because on Tuesday I am moving to Glasgow. So not the best of times! I have done everything I could, but now it is just a waiting and hoping game, that someone will hand them in... The more time passes the more I doubt it but hope dies last!

Until next time, love and light, and much needed rest!

10 things I love about summer

Summer  is a lovely time of year,  you have the long days and with a little luck longer, warmer days and sunshine. Why wouldn't one love summer then!? I was contemplating how much I enjoy this season and how busy the days seem to be, of course the British summer isn't as sunny but there are days when it's warm enough and it doesn't rain. Therefore, here are my 10 reasons for loving summer: 1. The feeling of freedom it gives. I know will fade with time because school will end and when you work you don't have 3 months of summer vacation but for now it feels so good to know you have such a lengthy amount of time off every year. 2. The repeating cycle of big changes preceeded by it, every 4 years I start a new chapter in my book, passing from one school to another, from one city to a new one, so I anxiously wait for these rare and random summers. 3. The wonderful hot weather perfect for all those trips and relaxing walks, though it isn't true for all the

Day 17 in Zambia- Chikumbuso again and the Southern Sun Ridgeway Hotel

Yesterday was an interesting day as I got to go back to Chikumbuso and we went through all the projects identified at the previous visit, therefore, we moved on into making a clear list with items needed and then to assigning who will get the quotes, the project is progressing and hopefully, soon enough we will be able to move forward and start writing the project plan, in order to have it approved by the RI Foundation. I am back at marking essays and it is wearing me out a little, but today I had a more relaxed day as I couldn't make it to Chilenje and had to postpone it for tomorrow. Did go and do some shopping and have a lovely lunch with Sid. We went for the Southern Sun Ridgeway Hotel as he wanted a burger and they make some pretty darn good ones, as I got a taste of his. I went for a mediterranean lunch with a toasted roasted veg and humous sandwich, that was simply delicious. While we were eating, we sat on the terrace and there was a very nice artificial lake, that had,

Another year has passed, with ups and downs

Funnily enough, seems like spring is a time for reflection. I always seem to come back to my blogging during this time, even though I think about often and miss it. I was looking at buying a typewriter and having a go at more regular diary blogs. That is for another time though. Since the last time I wrote, a lot has happened. I will start with the passing of my dad, he aged in a year enough for an entire life and unfortunately left us way too early. He was only 54, I left 3 days after my last post last year, on the 8th April, early in the morning after going to the Easter mass and saying goodbye to him, telling him I would be back in May. A week later on the 16th April, he decided it was time, even before my mom called me, I knew it happened and a sharp pain went through me, even 2000 km away, something broke when he left this physical world and he took away with him. That has been probably the most important event of this year for me. I think about him all the time and I miss
