Spring is in the air!

Dont you just wish that everyday was a day off... and a sunny day off. Wish also that our boiler worked and it was warm, but hey one cannot have everything.  Luckily we live next to parks.... Walking around and not thinking about work, stress of it all just enjoying is a truly rare occasion. Dont think I like being a grown up but what are you going to do:)  We made friends with some dogs, I almost climbed over the wasp nest, thank you for sings wood people! I loved outside today.  Now we are cozy at home watching some Jonathan Creek and eating a home-made chilli with nachos.  Jonathan Creek is amazing, watch it now if you haven't seen it! Netflix is good for it.  And chilli was a joint effort but nachos are shop bought!

I have been hearing a lot about Pre-Raphaelite's in Birmingham museum, then I found out, thank you Twitter, that they also have new exhibition of Grason Perry. So I thought, I know a lot about pre-Rafs and Grason Perry but I am yet to see their art... Not as a reproduction but as a real thing.  I loved Cardiff National Museum so I guess I have expected something similar to B'ham museum.  I was after work, actually it was a late to early shift and then I went to museum. To say I was pooped is it not to say anything, but hey life goes on and one shall remain magical unicorn!  I loved loved the first room you walk into... And the picture of penguins.... And impressive halls and rooms.  With music throw my head phones I began my wonder.  I have managed to get lost in all the endless rooms and halls. I didn't visit the all of it, think it is a project for a day off next time. But I saw who I came to see... And found more things on the way.  I sa

Oh fishy fishy!

Owen came to visit. And as he always said I am better in organising fun and such in new cities. Like in Bath we had cake and went around giggling at the funny shops names, yes Knob Connection I'm thinking of you. This time we went to Sealife Centre. Oh and it was fun... We seen many many fish tanks full of wonderful and weird fish. Tiny sharks, Nemo world made me want to go home and watch cartoons, seen my very favourite sting rays. I just love the way they swim, gliding like throw water. There were even some jelly fish... Now that's  something one can watch forever. They even have some otters!!! Three little dudes called Kiwi, Mango and Apricot. Excellent otter's names! Unfortunately when we got there after the feeding so the otters been sleeping... One of them clearly had a dream and was moving all of its paws. Such cuteness!!  One thing for sure, the belly is here and its growing! ... Boys though this pi

Magical Unicorns

So, so far so good. No morning sickness feel most of the time good, just an occasional pain here and there, mainly my tail bone and near buy ones. Especially if I was up and around all day, or busy standing up at work all day long, I can barely move at the end of the day. I was insistent of leading normal life, and for 1st few weeks it was just good, I was fine active as usual.... At current state I'm not... Luckily I'm pass the time when all I wanted to do is sleeping and sleeping. But I still find it hard to bring my self to do anything outside the house. Shops make me sad, I cannot get anything since I really do not know how my body will be after the birth, shoes never fit anyway, gym seems like too much effort, so is the cinema. I have been spending time nesting and tiding, and having baths!! About this I feel very very guilty! How could I just give up like that... so at this very moment I am sitting down with Jonathan Creek on tv and head ache so strong that I m

on being pregnant...

I discovered that we were expecting just few days before my birthday and I was shocked I guess... Pleased but still it came as a shock. You hear about people trying to get pregnant for months and maybe years, we were lucky enough to get baby from the very 1st time we had a go at this. Hubby is very proud of his "handywork". Funny right. Well after having a 1st scan it all now is real and I didn't just put on bit of weight. There is a baby growing inside of me. And I am 13 weeks pregnant... I am going to be a mother.... Now that is a title I don't think I will get used to. Things did not change much really... Or have they and I just did not notice? We went ice skating for my birthday and I already had tiny something growing in me. Also got to say restaurants and bars should make more booze free options.  Well I am lucky enough not to have morning sickness, I just was tired most of the time and I find my self being very unmotivated. I was going

This weather really makes us all depressed... I mean if it was snowing it would have been not as bad, but its just freezing, windy and wet. So no wonder I have a terrible cold... had to be off work and everything. Now I still want to hibernate until its warm, but the live goes on... And we will have a year full of changes. Just look what we did.. After having the scan today I do realize that this is all very real and I m not just putting on weight and feel funny. Baby is due mid August. It is all very exciting and very scary at the same time...
