A year of self indulgence

January 27, 2009

So, it's 2009 and I'm deciding again, to make this a year for ME.  The original premise back in 2007 was to have a year of indulgence while living in Europe.  Well, I'm still living in Europe and the idea of living independently and indulging in myself and my interests is still alive and kicking.

Friday night bliss

January 23, 2009

Cyn and I have decided on a mellow Friday night in.  Dinner and groceries at Whole Foods.  Now we’re sitting at the kitchen counter, drinking red wine, in our PJ’s, listening to Vanessa Mae and doing email.  =)  We have blueberries and toast, the lights are on, the candles a flicker and everything is just […]

Aphrodite Taverna

January 11, 2009

I know I’ve said this a million times before but again, I will have to say it tonight.  London is like a magical little tickle trunk of people from every corner of the globe.  Tonight, we went to Aphrodite Taverna, a tiny little Greek restaurant just up the block from my flat.  There were 19 […]
