Scattered Strawberry Summer

If somebody would ever decide to throw me 80s themed suprise party I wouldn't mind. One of my guilty pleasures is some good old 80s hits, makes me want to dance. You should see my moves, they're totally silly and I look like I'm drunk. So for my perfect 80s themed dance party  you definitely need these: Never Gonna Give You Up Living...

I'm in London again. I'm here for two day leadership training. I'm staying at a hotel, though I wish I just went home, even though it would mean I'd be home late and I'd need to get up very early to go back to London. I went to Oxford Street but I have now decided I don't actually like shopping, I just like...

I've been travelling more with work and I spend a bit of time on train, I use that time to read. Time passes much more quickly and I can keep up with my long year project too. This week I'm reading The Secret Life of France by Lucy Wadham. I started reading it and I realised I have already read it, don't know when, possibly not...

Late night pinteristing led me to Thomas Saliot works. I love the colours and modern style of his portraits, some works have that instagram feeling, that's because his works are based on pictures he finds online. When I look at his works, I feel like I should really start painting again. Just purely for my own enjoyment. ...

I got a bunch of books from the library this week, I didn't look for anything in particular, just chose what seemed to be interesting. This week's read is Screwtop Thompson by Magnus Mills, a collection of short stories. It caught my attention because was described as " The Office crossed with Brave New World". That reminds me, I should really read Brave...

My second week in my new job is finished (hail flexi time). I've been rather busy, a bit stressed,  very happy about the new role sitll. I'm getting used to this role but I think it will take longer for other to get used to the fact I am now their line manager. Next few weeks won't be any less busy. I will...

I was away from my office for 3 days and I came back to this, yep  a colleague has sherlocked my monitor. I found it rather funny and thought it was quite  fitting, after last night's episode I'm still living in Sherlock's world. And yes that flag says sarcasm, I needed it to point out when I'm being sarcastic... yep not all British...

This week I'm reading a book my SO got me for Christmas. It's An Appetite For Wonder: The Making of a Scientist - an autobiographic memoir by Richard Dawkins.  As you know, I love Richard Dawkins so I was very happy with this present.   I'm a bit behind this week and it's only second week but hopefully I'll catch up by next Sunday. ...

Just after my trip to Germany, we went to Lisbon to celebrate my birthday and New Year.  We stayed at 4 star hotel,it was rather nice, our room was impeccable. Well, one thing I could complaint about is lighting, it was rather dark despite a number of different lights in the room, it creates a nice atmosphere but sometimes you just want to...

As part of my New Year resolutions, I decided to do project 52. At first I was thinking to do portrait every week but I think I won't be able to keep this up for the whole year and I'd rather actually read a book each week. This week I read Happyslapped by a Jellyfish: The words of Karl Pilkington. I read it on...

I spent Christmas at my parents in Germany. We Lithuanians have main dinner on Christmas Eve rather than Christmas day. We had a lot of food and lots of sweets. It was a bit too much for me. I only stayed there for a few days, so my mum organised an early birthday dinner with my aunties, uncle and cousins. My mum always...

Happy New Year everyone! I met 2014 in Lisbon at Praça do Comércio with my SO, but about that I'll tell you in my next post. My year has already peaked with the long awaited (two years, it;s been two years!) Sherlock series 3. Quality of the site we were watching it on was rubbish and it stopped a few times but thankfully we...
