Definition of love

Imagine this...Bear walks upstairs to the bedroom with a beautiful cup in hand and says, "Darling, would you like a cup of tea?"


And it's not just any old cup of tea that he makes. He knows how to make the perfect cup of tea (and has picked out the prettiest cup, my favourite pink one with pink hearts on it, that always suits my mood). Tea just the way I like. English breakfast tea with just the right amount of milk.


And, on top of that, he emptied the dishwasher and took Sean when he woke up, changed his nappy and gave him his bottle of milk, and have played with him, all during the space of 1 1/2 hours, when I've been snoozing under the weight of my protective duvet!

Thanks, Bear - I love you!

music

I so love music. It very much depends on my mood, my emotions and my state of mind. I listen to very different types of music. At times I go wild with electro and progressive house and some good old trance music.

Every now and then I tune in to some RnB, hip hop radio station, and sometimes I immerse myself in slow and deep tunes as well as classical.

Apart from a lot of new contemporary music, I also really love 50’s (and 60s and 70s and country, not so much 80s though) like Patsy Cline, The Everly Brothers, The Drifters, Elvis etc, and there are days, weeks, months that I can listen to one or two tunes like millions of times and I will never ever get bored. Some mornings I also put on youtube.com and I listen to my favorite artists live.

This is my playlist at the moment:

Pixie Lott – cry me out

Jackie Wilson – higher and higher

Sugababes – about a girl (produced by Red One)

Jay Sean feat Lil Wayne - Down

Disco Decay - Neelix (live mix)

Robbie Williams – you know me

David Guetta (feat Akon) – sexy chic

Etta Jones – At last (you might now it from Beyonce singing it on Inauguration Day to Obama)

Michael Jackson – This is it

Madonna – celebration

Kings of Leon – Sex on Fire (still not tired of it!)

Dionne Bromfield (Amy Winehouse’s niece) - Mama said

Steve Angello – Tivoli (original mix)

Jackson 5 – who’s loving you

deadmau5 - ghosts n stuff

Cheryl Cole – fight for this love

Stupidity and sarcasm

Here is something I noticed today, crossing many streets this morning as I was walking from home, all the way to Piccadilly Circus:

You know when you go and push the button at the pedestrian crossing. PLEASE tell me why, even RIGHT after I push it (and people around me see me push it) do the same people feel the need to push it it again?

We are all walking the same way across the same crosswalk. Do they not think I know how to push a simple button correctly, so they push it again? Same scenario applies to lifts (see above).

If the floor you are going to is already lit up, why push it again? I know it is probably just a habit or human nature, but still. It annoys me. Please enlighten me....

Hermes auction

Yesterday I went to Christie’s South Kensington for the viewing of an auction of historically important handbags, Hermes Birkin and Kelly, which are otherwise know to have a waiting of more than six years.

Besides the handbag sale they also offer a selection of vintage jewelry. The auction is on Thursday 19 nov and you can view it here

The Sunday lunch

Outside Cafe Laville - one of mine and Bear's many favourite places for Sunday lunch. It's a romantic little cafe which has beautiful views overlooking the canal. Good coffee, tea served by the pot, soya milk available and the food is yummy.

I think the Sunday lunch is the best lunch of the week. The weekend is well underway, the sleep-ins have helped, relaxation is foremost on the mind and the day is still well ahead of you.

And on glorious days like this, there's nothing better than spending hours doing just that, Sunday lunching!

Good morning Sunday!

Baby Bear and I in our comfy gear, cuddling up in front of Baby Tv (excuse poor quality but very dark outside at this early )

A quicky this early morning... Here's my current motto that I keep repeating to myself:

Affirm the positive, visualize the positive and expect the positive, and your life will change accordingly (I sincerely believe in that, and already positive things are starting to happen :-)))

Early rise and worst storm this year

Morning! Today is the 2nd early 5am rise this week *yawn*. Baby Bear woke up screaming like a stuck pig. At first I thought he had got his leg stuck between the cot bars, but he hadn't.

All seemed ok with him except the screaming, so I'm beginning to think he might have had a bad dream, woke up in the pitch black room and got scared..

He's back to sleep but Bear and I, both on our laptops with classical music in the living room, and only a dim light on, have already been up an hour and a half, and it's only 6.30 am!

Well, Wales and Southern & Eastern Britain is today facing the worst gale force winds this year (read about it here), so please take care out there in the storm!

Here's a little number from X-factor finalists, Danyl and Jamie, to get you in the mood this Saturday morning.
