Simple things.

I don't blog enough.
I'm used to writing for myself...unedited, no pressure to entertain, but I know you're out there, reading this, so I always wonder if what I'm about to write is even worth reading to some people. So since I think there's so much pressure on me to write something earth changing, I decided this will be a blog for the simpler things in life.

Like the flowers on the corner of the reception desk. Every Monday the woman from the florist shop across the street brings a new vase with brand new budding flowers. Each time they're a different arrangement and I get to watch them bloom through the week. She just breezed through with them five minutes ago, swapping out the old vase. I always wonder what happens to the flowers in the old vase. Do they throw them away? Leave them on display at the store? They're still beautiful after a week. But I told the florist that I think I enjoy the flowers more than anyone because I'm next to them all day long. She smiled and said "Well, we shall turn them towards you then."

Simple things.

They're pink lilies, in case anyone out there wonders. Only two are really close to being fully open, but there are a few more on the way and the rest are all buds. We'll see how fast they grow.

Or yesterday, I enjoyed ice cream spaghetti at an Italian cafe. It was noodly strings of ice cream with strawerry syrup on top and white chocolate flakes. Absolutely amazing. It was followed by a bargain deal at a street vendor for a £19 leather coat. Then there's the Moody Blues concert tonight at Royal Albert Hall. Word is the acoustics at this venue are phenomenal...www.royalalberthall.com
