Friday fish n chips in the blissful summer/Fairwell Lockdown

As far as I am concerned you can't beat a plate of fish n chips and today I had my first in a long while. I am so ready for the summer and sitting by the river having a pub lumch like these with a glass of iced cold Lemonade. If you have never ventured into London, but would like a heads up of where to go, then my favourite place is Putney, and they have a lovely set of pubs near the river and I am so ready for those glorious things. 



Putney is also great if you like a shop and there is a mall. It has many charity shops if you like these type of stores, and it has one of my favourite shops a big Paperchase, where if they had a flat next door or upstairs, I would live there like a shot. With Lockdown it has made me miss the little things in life, and there is a lovely park nearby for kids too, by the river where you can grab a coffee or a cup of tea. 

They do have toilets in there too, and has tennis court and football pitches. 

It is good to know we can venture out again, as Lockdown is slowly shifting and I will be enjoying every bit of that, and spend a lot more time out doors again and be able to see my family and friends again, as I have been communicating via the web, but its not he same when you can see them in person.

Roll on the summer and lets get ourselves ready for the blissful days where we can sit happily in the sun again and I hope I get to go to my favourite holiday destination, Clacton where I have spoken a lot about as that is where I went to as a kid and take my son to Florida too,but looks like this may be next year now. 

Many thanks for reading,

Why I like my own mug

Hello sorry it has been a while since writing on this blog. If you didn't know I am doing a life coaching programme "The Summer Project 2023" and is helping you have a better year and happy life, check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com   I have created videos that are on my main Youtube channel for this project and so check it here via this link:  typicallondongal  It is June 2023 and today whilst having my first cup of tea completed the first draft of my book and feels so good to have this done. Having my own mug helps with that and it just something that gives me comfort.  When working in offices you would be asked to have your own mug if you wanted a cup of tea and coffee and thought that this was such a good idea and it makes it a homely environment. Of course if you work in a supermarket not so good because eating and drinking in front of customer is unprofessional, but doesn't mean you can't bring your own mug use it when you take a break...

Finding a decent coffee

Image
I love having a my coffee each day and been trying to not buy coffee from a coffee shop all of the time and use the jars of coffee I have and has made a difference but will treat myself to a Costa Coffee for example, but not all of the time. If you add up the amount a coffee from a coffee shop costs it can really damage your bank balance.  I am choosy when it comes to coffee and Greggs for do a decent Latte and is out of a machine rather than a coffee maker, and is cheaper than a coffee shop.  When it comes to a cup of coffee you want it to be smooth and not bitter. Cafe Nero for example I find their coffee too strong and so will go for a Chai Latte or a Hot Chocolate.  They say that Coffee can cause Anxiety which I read in a book, but for me it is different and it wakes me up and find it fills me up, and have to have a cup. I have the Sainsbury's Freeze Dry Jar of coffee and is my favourite out of the others ones, and was once upon a time, would be Kenco but no, not now ...

Being 45 and growing

Image
 As a kid I felt uncomfortable about being a child, because I saw being an adult, it meant that you had more freedom than being a child. Being 45 seemed a long long milestone and now I am 45, gotten to a place where I am okay with my life, and that I have come a long way to feeling good about myself and that I am no longer fearful compared to when I was a kid. I did have a good childhood and feel very lucky with the things I have done through out it, like holiday's in Clacton and Menorca, and seeing shows up London and visits to London Zoo, Chessington Zoo before it became a Theme Park, and it was just the zoo, and getting my ears pierced up London and spent time seeing my grandparents.  There was a time I liked to go out all the time and meet friends for a drink and get plastered. Not so much now, and like having the odd drink, but no over do it. Its alright going out partying but you have to think about getting home safely and I think you become more protective especially be...
