I'm alive!!!!!

Well it's been so damn long since I've been able to write anything here, I think the bookies were taking bets on my probable demise. Not so. Since coming back at xmas work has been busy, weekends full of kiddie things like tennis and swimming... and then miss Sienna's 4th birthday. I've now scraped my self from the pankake-like (run over) shape on the floor and I've taken up a new hobby... It's all about the shrink wrapping baby! I know, not but a few posts ago I was extolling the virtues of posh bin... and now shink wrapping. I have reached a new level of geekdom.

So yes, shrink wrapping or actually vaccum packing I think is more of an apt description. I bought a set of bags from Amazon and wow, live as I know it has now changed. I think the feeling of compacting away all of your skinny jeans the don't quite fit you just now is a feeling second to none. I think I'm going to start my very own vaccum packing therapy sessions. I tell you, it will be all the rage in LA before you know it!

Why am I vaccum packing you ask? Well, after a year long chapter of life back in London and doing the what I know now is possible but perhaps not sane thing of raising a 4 year old on my own and working full time with no support network... I've decided to vaccum pack my life and head back over the pond and for once make my life a tiny bit easier. I know I know it's almost acomplete 180 to my normal modus operandus but hey, I'm getting old folks... and if the fact that this blog is over 10 years old now doesn't do a job of convincing you, I'm not sure what will. So yes, life will be so much easier and better for little miss with a bit of help from my family.

So miss Sienna jetted off with my mum who was over visiting earlier in the week. They're nestling into things back in Canada and I'm here wrapping up my job and flat. I love love love this flat. After living in such a horrible place for so many years in Barcelona I've been so spoiled by having this place. It's big and light and airy and perfect for miss Sienna and I . I will miss it. I'll also miss the beautiful family who moved in upstairs in Sept. They've been so kind and lovely to us both. I hope one day they'll come out to Canada to visit us.

So while I finish up things at work I also have a bit of work to do on me. Living this life that is so full-on has reduced the 'me' down to a faint concept. When you're spread so thin and never have any time to yourself it's amazing how quickly you lose yourself. I've got a month here now with only work and packing as my obligations. Do I know what to do withmyself? Well apparently not. I think I have mild agoraphobia of being me. I think I've forgottne. So in an effort to remind myself that I can woop it up for a bit I've got to get myself a London bucket list so I can cross things off and get stuff done before I go.
On the list for now are>

Tate Modern
Portrait gallery
Hayward Gallery
Harvey Nicks
The long bar at the sanderson
Oscars at the charlotte st hotel (best cocktails in the world)

Any other suggestions?
