    Day 34 Your Favourite Quote

    I don’t tend to collect famous or inspiring quotes, so I picked my favourite one I’d put on my Facebook info page!

    Jen: Are ostriches British?

    Me: *Laughs*

    Jen: But they look like giant pigeons!……What about llamas?

    Day 33 What You’re Craving Right Now

    I got up pretty early this morning which I’m not used to so I’m craving lunch. I’m going to have a cheesy sandwich and some Mini Cheddars

    We’re also going to the Christmas Market which has brought on cravings for Glühwein, garlic bread and pork rolls!

    Day 32 A Photo You Took

This was much harder than I’d thought it would be! I’ve been trawling through about 5 years’ worth of stuff in my iPhoto library and struggled to find anything I’d taken that was interesting in some way.
Here’s a pretty recent one though, people protesting about Greece’s economic situation at the Parthenon in Athens 3 weeks ago.

    Day 31 Whatever Tickles Your Fancy

    Today’s topic - why I’m now the Foursquare Mayor of the doctors’ surgery I’ve only been at for a week

    So on Saturday, I went to the doctor about the cold I’ve had since the last day we were in Athens, so for about 3 weeks now. There wasn’t much they could do as it’s a cold, but I said that my ear had been blocked for about 2 weeks so she suggested I booked in for an ear syringe which I had today.

    Apparently, the ear I’d been having trouble with was absolutely fine, but the ear I thought was fine got syringed. I was not a fan. I don’t like things touching my neck or other people touching my eyes or ears, but I managed to get through it only to find out that the eardrum was perforated! I thought that was supposed to be painful, but that ear had been very well-behaved! I’ve also now got to be checked out by another doctor next week for that, the fact that it made me dizzy and because I also get dizzy when I lean back to get my eyebrows threaded. I’m also now on antibiotics and some kind of herbal drops for the cold which are vile. Germany’s mad on drops, they’ll prescribe them for anything, but I’ve never had them over here!

    I also have to go back again for an asthma check-up and also if my cold doesn’t get any better. I feel like I’m falling to bits!

    Day 30 A letter to the friendliest person you knew for only one day

    Dear Lady at Woking Station

    We met last January for all of 5 minutes. I never found out your name, just that you worked in a hospital near Kingston. I’d been trying to get to my first job interview for a job I actually wanted in Wimbledon, but it was the during the snowstorms and barely anything was running so I was panicking. Thanks for trying to reassure me and help me when I was in tears on the platform instead of just staring at me like everyone else. 

    I didn’t end up getting the job, I was down to the last two but it was given to someone I went to Uni with. I don’t think they know they were up against me.

    Hope you’re doing well,

    Leah
