Monday, Blue Monday.

So that I was extremely late on my serving for lunch. I had spent too long on cooking the Hot and sour chicken and squid soup. While many recipes that I came across are fine, I was actually looking to make the perfect chicken stock for the base of my soup. Cleaning the squid is a nightmare. You don't usually think about CLEANING the squid like a mindless cleaner. There are just too many fibres to take off, once you start with it. You cannot stop yourself. Same as for many things in life.

I had a lovely conversation with this very Cancerian girlie today. She had certain doubts about someone in regards to the matters of her heart. As I was EXTREMELY late on my thing, I replied even without thinking: Well, it's like shopping. If you don't even like it in the shop, how on earth will you even manage putting it on once you get home?

She was very impressed. I, on the other hand, was in a hurry to get back to my dining area to post my lunch menu. Thinking about it later on; while my hands are occupied with putting things away. I thought it was very funny. True enough, we always think too much. Many decisions are made after many sleepless nights and this is just not the way to do it. We always know what we want and perhaps they are not always the best choices for us. But for desires-simple things- your heart knows best. You might be at fault no matter what. That's a fine thing to learn.

Breakfast wraps! Friday is here!

Just I am often wondering What on this earth that they put into those cat treats? I am going to get some of that and make a new kitty perfum for all of us long suffering cat owners. Maybe it will finally improve human and cat relationships. Until then, I am going to continue giving the excess amount of love and patiences and cat treats to my one and only darling-FIFI.

Really he is a very sweet cat. Like all my previous relationships; I am trying to convince myself that he will one day come around and just be calm and offers me his love- consistently. It is there and I can feel it sometimes. It's just that when he is hurting (scratching!) me, I think I have a very good reason to have some reservations. We have our moments and we have our frosty days, often straight after he draws some blood of mine. I cannot help feeling that it's a lot like a real love relationship. We are still learning about each other. For my sake (and his) I hope this is going to develop itself to become a better one.

 I enjoy very much walking home after a long day at work. Partly it is because of my lovely i pod music selections and partly it is because of the wonderful parts of London that I must walked through.

Not that I don't enjoy shopping on the New Bond St. So many shops that You could possibly spent the whole day there and still have to come back for another 1/2 day just to finish it off. My favourite part of my journey is straight after that and through St. James park. I have some pictures to prove just how wonderful it is.

I love walking down Horse Guards Rd and crossing the Birdcage walk. So very pleasant!

My street. What a lovely place- I enjoy living in Westminster! Just like how I was( or rather my parents are), living in the central of the city. I am just around the corner of the Random House- where I always watch their milk delivery man dropping off their dairy supply while trying to catching the morning bus to work almost every morning (unless and this is becoming "too often" that I had to take a taxi at Iron Lung!).

I am so very inspired by my area and Barbra's music- we will have some hearty food recipes tomorrow!

A long day.....

So very tired, I am. I simply cannot feel about my legs. Thursday the stock take day. On top of it; Elena has gone on holiday back to Spain and I had forgot to make the birthday celebration cakes last night for work. The only good thing is that I finally received "Love is the answer by Barbra Streisand" cd.
It's comforting music. Great for what had happened recently. My dear FIFi is loyally sitting by my side. I think I will love him always. No matter how many times he has scratched me.

I read "For the love of Norton" recently. I think they do this book under a different name: "A cat abroad" for the US market. I cannot quite explain how I felt about Norton. He simply is a unusual cat: a NON-cat Cat! FiFi is very much the Cat's cat. He attacks me whenever he feels like and he offers no apologies. I can only say that Mr. Gether is a very lucky cat owner. I could only wish that FIFi will one day be inspired to become Norton-like. I would be gladly taking him to all my restaurant visits and order for him lots of delicious dishes. So far, if Monsieur FIFI is happy for my endless kisses, I am lucky already. And I have to admit that I am a very lucky lady today.

Much to Rabbit's delights, we finally did the Mexican day!

Could see how wasted I was. It was a great party. No matter what had happened during the party, we all enjoyed "Pirata" all so too much! Party of four: My lovel neighbour H, my lone suffering ex-assistant B, my present assistant Elena and me.

Posting some documentary pictures to show what I had done while not posting. My lovely Elena. I had forced her to put on my trousers and this is how she looks like. As you could see, she is a much taller lady. Very pretty and I don't know what I have done to deserve to have a such wonderful assistant!

Here she intentionally lowered herself to be on the same level as me. Probably doing so to make sure that my magic phone could take both of us in the picture.
