<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today in clinic, the mother that I was talking was in tears. I had passed on some bad news and it just seemed to break her. It was of course nothing that she did not already know but I think hearing it out aloud made it real. I am not really sure what was going on in her head. I am sure I will never know. I passed her some tissues and sat silently while she wept. Sometimes you just have to sit and wait, sometimes it is best not to say anything but to just wait. I did however offer her a cup of tea - because while I was sitting there - I thought to myself - "I need to comfort this woman now". Hot sweet tea for was the first thing that came to mind.</span></div>

A walk in the grounds of Bower House. Last weekend I went on Christian retreat with my mother. It was interesting. Much revisiting of my slightly broken Christian faith. Much wondering about what it is to be really happy. Much wondering about who had the monopoly on the truth. But mostly enjoying the beauty of nature. Breathing in and breathing out and being at peace for a few minutes. Glorious.Lenzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02232625156957246144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-910709402451643437.post-64194580250594910472015-04-16T03:56:00.003-07:002015-04-16T03:56:59.480-07:00The yoghurt pot of life<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is my new and improved food regime! What you cannot see is the strawberry granola in the cup.<br />
<br />
So this is breakfast when I arrive at work in the morning after a tortuous 90 minute drive along the North Circular. There also a banana that goes with this meal.<br />

Chipping Campden is a small market town in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. It is notable for its elegant terraced High Street, dating from the 14th century to the 17th century. ("Chipping" is from Old English <i>cēping</i>, "a market, a market-place"; the same element is found in other towns such as Chipping Norton, Chipping Sodbury and Chipping (now High) Wycombe.)</div>

A rich wool trading centre in the Middle Ages, Chipping Campden enjoyed the patronage of wealthy wool merchants. Today it is a popular Cotswold tourist destination with old inns, hotels, specialist shops and restaurants. The High Street is lined with honey-coloured limestone buildings, built from the mellow locally quarried oolitic limestone known as Cotswold stone, and boasts a wealth of fine vernacular architecture. At its centre stands the Market Hall with its splendid arches, built in 1627.</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have been using it for the past month and it is gorgeous! I somehow decided that after everything that has happened this past year, I should probably try and take better care of myself. I can then be in a better position to help my family and friends. I scurried off to Westfield and parted with the best part of £20. I have not looked back. I feel calm and refreshed after each shower. It's nice. The smell takes me back to my 'A' level days there was something or somebody in the house that smelt like that. I cannot remember who but it brings back such a pleasant sensory memory that it just adds to the pleasure of the shower.</span>Lenzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02232625156957246144noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-910709402451643437.post-52980333278147615352015-01-27T02:18:00.001-08:002015-01-27T02:22:44.654-08:00Baked Egg Custard puddingThey came out a little browner than expected.

It has been a long time coming. I am doing it because my partner is Spanish and it would be nice to speak to him in his mother tongue. I am not quite sure why I have not been able to do this before. Lack of time perhaps? I did start learning in February 2013, at that point I was away from work and I had much more time on my hands. I picked up a number of words but I never learnt to speak the language. So now it is back to school for me. I have enroled in Ealing School of Languages which is quick frankly a little too close to where I work but it seems to be the most practical thing to do as it means that I am not rushing across town after work.</span><br />
