Things I've started enjoying since coming to London:

-Cheese, and all kinds of cheese! I like going to the open markets and buying a slice of something new, getting a red apple from another stall, and eating them together.

-Red wine. It use to make me sleepy, and I didn't like the taste, but I really enjoy having the occasional glass when eating with people now. Merlot and Shiraz are my favourites.

-Random bands I had never heard of before, like Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons, James, and Colin Hay.

-Converse shoes. Enough said.

-Wool cardigans.

-Fresh flowers in a vase in my room. It helps make the grey days less blah. :)

-Playing tennis! (see June 11 post for complete details)

-Walking in cow pastures... Always loved hiking, but didn't have many opportunities to walk through fields with cows and bulls (maybe that's a good thing).

-Pottery... I've really started to like things made from clay.

-Mochas!

-Gas stoves... They're great. They still kind of scare me, but they cook very fast and reliably (Yay for efficiency! My German great-grandmother would applaud me, I'm sure).

-Iphones. I don't have one, and I'm not sure that I want one, but it's very handy working with people who have them.

-Sticky Toffee pudding. Amazing.

  1. I LOVE sticky toffee pudding...and I think it loves me, too, since the sticky toffee pudding I ate when we visited in March has stuck with me. :)

    We walked in a cow pasture on Saturday...only the cow was giving us a stare-down, so we decided to turn back.

  2. We can have some more sticky toffee pudding when you come back to visit, Mom. Was the cow black with horns?? :)
