Bits of my everyday


Roundwood park (the closest to home)

Hi everybody :)

so this time I will try share some of my everyday life :)

I come to their house in the morning and have breakfast. The little girl is usually very happy to see me and likes to sit in my lap when I'm eating. And to have some of my brakfast:)) She is so sweet :) Then I do some tidying and prepare her things and her for going out (believe me, that takes a lot of time..). Usually we go to some playgroups or storytelling or singing... there are lots of stuff like that for free, in a walking distance!!! It is very enjoyable to go out with her, ppl are always smiling at me and her, helping out, telling how cute she is....and in the playgroups everybody's so nice to each other:)

Then she sleeps and I eat and do sth at home and prepare her lunch. Feeding is not easy, she is not eating, I have to invent all the tricks. After lunch it's time to pick up the boys from the school. Sometimes we take a walk in a park before [there is one near the school]. When boys are home we play some games with them or they do sth like patining or TV/PC, but not much. They rarely have homework.

When parents get home they start cooking diner I get more relaxed,... sometimes I go home and come back just for dinner, but usually I stay and have some fun with the boys, as the girl is usually with parents.... The dinners are the nicest - food is delicious, everybody eats and talks and its just the happy end of a day.

The work is kinda easy and relaxed, just being around and doing things... I do enjoy it a lot! Of course, sometimes the kids are misbehaving and it can be hard to cope with that but I think I am doing it alright. And the boys are understanding and do the right thing finally and apologize for misbehaving.

And then I have three days off a week. I always go the Indian temple, I usually go the center meet somebody and see sth new in London. Also do some shopping for food and things :) its kinda strange to walk around without a buggie :))) I have also started to study Arabic (on my own) which is very exciting....

Autumn...

There are some birds in the park. That's the list with illustrations :))

This means the house is ready for trick or treat!

It's just one of many weird things which are very usual for the British.

A weekend in Bath



The Royal Crescent
Hello everybody,

Firstly I want to apologize for not writing for so long - sth was wrong with my camera and I didn't want to make posts without pics, as they are usually very important. Now that the camera is well again I will try to make more posts.

This one is gonna be about my weekend in Bath. I went there to visit Karina, my classmate, who is studying at Bath Uni. It is a very cozy, though small place. The weather was nice and we were walking around all day. We visited cemetery - its was soo gorgeous, and no ppl in there!

In the evening we went to a Nepalese restaurant which was probably the most amazing restaurant I have ever been.... So calm, so cozy, tranquil, with soothing music and the most amazing delicious light food. No wonder you have to book in advance.... On the second day we went to visit the uni which is a nice big place with fields and a pond with ducks in it :))

Of course, I also met Karina's housemates and watched some movies, did some chat. I was happy to see that she's enjoying her time in there.

I attach some pics from there...
