So, the football Champions League has reached the last 16 stage.
Which of the cities still involved have you been to? Which one would you like to visit,if you could choose one?
London, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Madrid, Barcelona, Bergamo, Munich, Leverkusen, Lisbon, Istanbul,Paris,Bodø.
I’ve been to all of them except Leverkusen and Bodø.Though I’ve been through Leverkusen and nearby several times,I never got off the train there 😉
I’d definitely like to visit Northern Norway though,so my choice would have to be Bodø.
Another amazingly sunny and warm day. I am so happy <3 Finally feels like spring. There are snowdrops everywhere.
My husband was telling me yesterday that since I am so hyped about figure skating whenever it’s on, we should see a live competition sometime. I think this year it’s not great, since many of the people who did the Olympics aren’t going (and it’s in Prague, I have been to Prague not too long ago). But I saw that in March 2027 it’s going to be in Tampere. I wrote a reminder in my phone to nudge me a year from now to get tickets.
Soooo job talk today. I was a bit tense yesterday but today I feel very good. Let’s see.
February is kinda slow, My job contract is ending this week which sucks, have to find work again.
Yesterday I made the most incredible slow cooked pork adobo. (5 or 6 hours I think) It was so damn tender. i added some boiled eggs to it this time to absorb some of the sauce. It’s a good bulk meal prep option and then I have Teriyaki chicken with broccoli or cucumber which i’ll make sometime next week and thats good too.
I think I’m having my period soon, I gained 2kg this week.
Apart from that my 10K run times and pace are improving. (Went from 8:00 to 7:00/km) and I’m gonna get started training for the Half marathon distance soon.
I didn’t go outside today until about 1 pm when I had go downtown. Not only had I gone outside, I hadn’t even looked outside. I just looked at the temperature, which was -1°C. Pretty warm considering, so I dressed relatively lightly, only to find out once I stepped outside that it had snowed about 15 cm. So I had to survive out there in shoes not suitable for that much of snow. The struggles of a modern man, but I survived.
Last week I listened to an album called The Apple Tree Under the Sea by Hemlocke Springs. It was released earlier this month. At first listen I didn’t really think much of it. It was alright, but I didn’t particularly care for it. Then today I listened it today and my opinion is completely different all of a sudden, it’s the best new album I’ve heard in a few years. I already listened to it twice today. There’s bits of it that really remind me of Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love.
I have to call in sick for today and tomorrow. It is a bit shattering, because I was starting to getting better.
On the good side: I can hang out with my cats, which imo is time best spent.
For some reason I’m now interested in monetary slang. Not just various forms of English slang for money, but slang in other languages.
