║today my way║

little things that attract
drawing with children


















































I like to do a little bit of everything - amazingly at the same time so never an ordinary activity remains as such for long periods. It obviously creates some unintentional whirlwinds that probably will continue to occur so I apologize for not posting and keeping quiet but I promise we didn't laze about (only when needed). On this day it looks like it was hot and summery but it wasn't. It was windy, a little chilly and fire training at work called for total comfort (flat shoes, tee and a pair of jeans). 

Damian took the afternoon off so we had no obligations to anything than venture our shopping mall. We didn't just browse but bought a couple of items (my first pair of ripped below and above the knee jeans which I could put my hands on a little but I guess that's enough of bare skin in this moody weather and also the first pair that fits perfectly. I love H&M jeans, there are a couple of pairs somewhere out there in the mail to me and can't wait to actually CUT THEM! I find only a few pairs {and not those I'm desperate to wear!} that are right for my petite size, all the summer/white/patterned rest is passionately adjusted to my short needs), indulged in delicious comfort foods like pitta bread with sun-dried tomato and basil marinade, grilled chicken and chunky chips, something we almost never change (oops!). We also shared a raspberry cheesecake. It was already a high calorie day, so I just went all out!

In other news I haven't been able to enjoy some of the week because of a nasty ear infection that hurts like no other. I'm the last person to turn to antibiotics or painkillers so I guess I made it worse just by procrastinating taking them, trying to see how long I can survive. The pain was unbearable for the first two days waking me up at five in the morning and I can only wish the antibiotic to clear this up soon.  

Also do you remember when I spoke of being on a friendship edge? Almost slipping away. Well, the helping hand has reemerged, building blocks of communication and trust are slowly piling up (we're past the foundations so it can only get better) through little chats here and there. For many good reasons my cousin and I have found ourselves open for knowledge and understanding and will let things happen naturally on a short trip to Cracow (Kraków in Polish) later in July (it is my beloved Polish town I secretly dream of buying a whole tenement house there, merge two floors to live on and rent the rest. I'm pretty certain about it). Tickets booked, sweet hotel right in the middle of a Jewish quarter designed in a vintage, very sentimental and romantic style chosen, theater and event guides bookmarked. I can't wait to slip into whatever is next in this friendship for us but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a bad dream about us going separate ways once everything is said and misunderstood. I'm not going there to tell her I will change, I'm hopeful for a new path we will both happily step on as grown up women with different points of view and experiences.    

Have a great weekend! x

English weather can kill the mood sometimes so you have to outpace it by making the most of the sunniest of days. One never knows how soon we shall see the bright skies. So we packed things up as if we were going away for a week and headed off to countryside to have a picnic on the grass. I'm so excited to be sharing what we overdid (ball games and freesbie to start with) and who accompanied us for the entire Mad Hatter day! 

It started off fabulously with picnic only crumbs of bread were left as a result. Because spring sandwiches with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and pepper thrilled the eyes and exhausted from badminton bodies had to satisfy their craving. Relaxed feel, fresh air and sunshine stimulated our next activity of running, cycling, playing football until there was no breath left. As kids quickly adjust to the scenery looking for some sneaking out, we decided to pack our belongings, use our men as carriers and walked trails of lawn afterwards loosing track of time. Felt like we were a million miles away from nearest town! While the boys got into their own dialogue I chatted with my sister-in-law about recent more and less important things (with less important being over talked about). Due to our busy work schedules we tend to see each other on far too less occasions, I definitely want more so girlie night out in mind for sure. Melody is much younger then me (let's not concentrate on that part of the story ;) but we get on really well sharing similar views on parenting and fashion (I admire her black and white styling moods) and not so identical on hair styles but I couldn't be happier with anyone else in tow. Nadia loved every minute of the sweaty adventure playing with her cousins tirelessly (after first half an hour of trying to posses every piece of equipment we took along not allowing anyone to put a hand on them). Nothing’s better than days like today. Or maybe a little bit more of them.

Used of all our energy we became hungrier than we could cope so delicious grilled chicken and chips at Nando's saved the evening. You need so little else when tummies are full and fabulous people sit around. Thank you guys for a fun time to remember!

 ♥ It's Damian's birthday today!!! Happy thirty something, baby! ♥
