- Booking flights to Istanbul with a guy I hardly know. I already like 2015 so much better. Adventures!
- Accurate.
- Tartufi al pistacchio from Antica Torroneria Piemontese
- Being the last one in the empty swimming pool at night. Practising handstands and somersaults.
- Reordering The Secret History - my copy got destroyed in Crete because some stupid Brits kept splashing water on me while I was reading at the pool.
- Amazing lunch ideas - in fact they made me so hungry that I just had to run into the kitchen to make an avocado wrap.
- Freshly cut hair.
- Perfectly ripe pineapples which actually taste a little bit like Pina Colada.
- Finding the solution to a problem in a dream.
- Drawing something. For work. But woah, DRAWING! Something I like! What's going on?
- Getting better with my Indian flavours.
- Paare / short films from Berlinale
- Clinique's All About Eyes - I'm a massive fan. I also treated myself to the Moisture Surge face cream and now kinda regret all my Weleda years...
- Booking a trip to Marrakesh! Staying at the most beautiful riad, thinking about renting a car and driving to the Atlas mountains.
- Mangoes.
- Imaginary flirting with Josh in front of the copying machine.
- Spending a great morning doing my students' make-up and dressing up as Madame Esmeralda (with tarot cards, little crystal balls and a turban!)
- AirBnB
- Indian food, always. Sitting in a restaurant for 3 hours, talking, sharing dessert.
- Alnatura spelt flakes, fresh butter croissants and I know I'm so late on this but yeah, coffee to go (I'm not a big fan of coffee but ugh, a warm foamy drink in winter is really nice)
- Discovering the area (graveyard, secret paths and shops)
- Passionfruit and sour cherry macarons from Chocolat
- Ending up in Oslo instead of Istanbul because the flight was cancelled.. I think it was supposed to be like this. So many happy coincidences! I met a great Norwegian on the plane who took me to an Änglagård concert on Saturday. I could even sleep on his brother's couch before going to the airport. Time with Lexi, two ferrets, a dog and a cat, climbing Holmenkollen, super nice Norwegian dudes, Indian food, amazing art at the Astrup Fearnley Museet. The Weekday stores and all these old songs they kept playing everywhere.
- Getting a 150€ KLM/Air France gift voucher. So... where do I go next?
- Eating pineapple without horribly burning your tongue.
- MAC Lush Life lipstick and the Stormy Pink paint pot. So. Nice.
- Praise at yoga class. I'm super flexible which seems to bee a good thing. Namaste - "Verneige dich in Dankbarkeit"
- Happy coincidences. Feeling that things are exactly as they're supposed to be. Finding an answer just like that, in a dream. Weird times. Joyful and weird.
- Chilly Gonzales' pop music masterclass
- A clear night sky with a bright half moon behind black tree silhouettes.
- An evening alone at Haus der Kunst, spending as much time as I want to wander around the Louise Bourgeois exhibition. Afterwards: Buchhandlung König. Too bad Goldene Bar was so crowded.
- Being proud of my sage advice on other people's relationship problems.
- Getting some beers with my students. Wildly inappropriate, but hey.
- Reading M. Scott Peck's The Road Less Travelled
- Favourite songs this month:
- Skero feat. Joyce Muniz - Kabinenparty
- Om by Bilderbuch. Managed to listen to it four times on repeat on my way to work yesterday.
- Wanda - Bologna / the whole Amore album
- Sleater-Kinney - Get Up
- Panda Bear - Boys Latin
- Änglagård
