I didn't go out today, since it's still really cold.
But I start learning Ruby programming code, which I like so far. I moved the firsts steps on CodeAcademy.com and I can't wait to learn some more!

Last day of work! That would be a good enough Daily Good Thing.
I told a guy (who was a speaker for one of the conferences) he was cute and when I was about to dash off he stopped me, asked my number and invited me to have a drink with him tonight.
It was so natural telling him "Hi, sorry, I just wanted to tell you you're cute" I can't believe myself...

Second day working as a hostess for BETT. There was a very cool astronaut bear who, when I hugged me (because COME ON, he was a very cool bear!) lifted me up and walk a while as he was trying to kidnapping me.
Everybody laughed, I laughed, he was very pleased with himself and I absolutely adored him - hope to see him again tomorrow :D

First day of work at BETT 2016. Short shift on the release team, so I went around replacing team members so they could have lunch break. At least you don't get bored, like this.
And I was helping for a Meet and Greet with Robert Winston and I have been asked to serve wine. I chickened since I was afraid of making a mess (slipping the bottle, broke glasses, make a fool of myself) so I let someone else do it. But after watching him, I had a go. It was stupidly scary, but I kinda liked it :D

I know it's absolutely pathetic, but my Daily Good Things is, without any doubt, me finishing this year's Tax Return in time, without being forced to pay a fee like last year. Happy Face :D

I spent the last two nights awake till 4am or 5am so I decided to stop drinking litres of Coca Cola past 9pm. And it worked. This morning I had to wake up early and last night, despite falling asleep tired (2am...like I normally do) I manage to NOT falling asleep again after my alarm clock rang. Happy face! :D

Some days ago I joined the website ConversationExchange.com and, as it's clearly obvious, allows people to exchange contacts so they can learn from each other. Since I speak Italian and English I have received many requests of contacts from users whose mother tongue is the ones I want to practise with: Japanese, Korean but mainly Spanish.
With one of the latter I had a videochat today. He was a very interesting guy, we had some fun and we learnt a lot in each other's languages...he even spoke Italian :D
So there will definitely be a second conversation :)

Pretty boring day today at home so I was about to forgot to add my Daily Good Thing.
Definitely definitely DEFINITELY is the fact that I'm getting so much better with my ukulele, and today I had this distinctive feeling when I was practicing Hakuna Matata and I'm finally getting the hang of it - so proud of moi!

Today's Daily Good Thing was an adorable puppy that was wearing a cute sweater and was wobbling walking with its human.
It was absolutely adorable and I wanted to take a picture of it but it clearly was rushing toward the near park

Thursday 14 January 2016

Despite the vegan breakfast eaten at my friend's (some kind of greenish porridge with chia seeds, banana and something else) and the devastating death of Alan Rickman (which caused more pain and tears that I'm willing to admit) I arrange a meeting with my dear friend Alessandra currently working at Disneyland.
She will pay me a visit during her 2 days off next week, I will go to her as soon as I can (February, probably). Honestly I can't wait. I have to refresh my French, zut alors!

Wednesday 13 January 2016

Finally today I was able to arrange a date with my friend - last time I saw him was almost one year ago. That's the problem when you have super busy celebrity friends.
We had a nice dinner with burritos (my first burrito) and drinks - lots of drinks :D

Tuesday 12 January 2016

Today it was the first day I actually took the tube since I came here from holidays.
Shame on me.
But there are quite a lot of Daily Good Things.
First, according to my doctor, my health is getting better (yay!).
Second, I stumbled across the Earth Angel tutorial video for ukulele and it was super easy to learn.
Instead of the hour planned I practiced for 2 hours without even realizing it.
I am definitely becoming addicted to the ukulele.
AND I have done 2x50 squats and...well, much less lounges and I will probably regret it tomorrow...

WHAT IS THIS?
Is it the ukulele chords for the extended opening theme of Steven Universe?
Yes.
Yes it is.
And I L O V E playing it, and again, and again, and again.
