Prizes


I have decided to give myself certain things as prizes.

For instance, I will not have my hair cut and put streaks in it until I weigh 60 something (at least 69.9). I am so near, its just silly. So my hair will remain too long until I reach that minigoal.

Then as for books, I want to order a couple of books via ebay. BUT, until I have achieved a triple goal in my other area, I am not going to order them.

Talking of books, I have a small library only 2 minutes away. I have noticed online they have some books I want, so tomorrow I am going to give back my other books to the other library and then I am going to the nearer one. Nacho says its an awful place, but I don't care, its near, and it has some books I want.

So come on, if I go from what I weighed in this morning (70.5) I only need to lose over half a kilo to go and cut my hair. Hopefully next week I will be able to!

P.S. I really wanted to read the book called: The Secret. And all 3 copies are out. Incredible! It must be popular! (just downloaded it from the Internet)

P.P.S. I have informed Xu, that he will be having pumpkin puree every Friday for whats left of this year. He didn't seem to mind, as its cheap and healthy, especially has I will throw in some crutons!

Pics of roast with pumpkin, and my new arrangement for my spices. They didn't fit in the other place, here I have loads of room, plus I wasn't happy about them being under the flame of the heater.

I really like the onions hanging up! And look how nice my pumpkin puree looks. It was thinner and nicer with double the milk, but didn't add any cream in the end.

Five little pumpkins
Sitting on a gate
The first one said,
"Oh, my, it's getting late!"
The second one said,
"There are witches in the air!"
The third one said,
"But we don't care!"
The fourth one said,
"Let's run and run and run!"
The fifth one said,
"I'm ready for some fun!"
OOOOOOOH, went the wind
And OUT went the light
And the five little pumpkins
Rolled out of sight.

They probably went in this:

Dad's home grown veg





Well here is Dad's home grown veg, which will shortly be arriving to Madrid in a van. I want to eat a lot more veg than I do, so this is a great opportunity to do so.

Pic from today


This is what I wore to work, it went well and I liked it. I thought I had better get the use out of the skirt as it is already too big for me, but at the moment it still looks good and doesn't fall down, its just comfortably big.

To have a new computer, or to make do with the old.



I do feel mean about contemplating having a new computer. I mean, the old one is being mended. However, the fact that the old one is being mended means it will have a even tinier memory than before, 16 gb to be precise, I feel like I can't pack it with all I want. I really would like a bigger screen as well, and I also love the esthetic of the computer above. But I feel guilty, a part of me wishes it would just not work and then I would have to have a new one.

I think one requirement to go ahead and get the computer would be to have achieved things. Even then I don't think it would be sufficient reason to go out and get it, but it could be a start.
