My week: Doing as I please

So as I moaned about mentioned last week, John spent the week in Sapporo for work, and so I was all alone. Apart from my blues on Saturday, I actually quite enjoyed a week of being 100% selfish and not having to think about someone else in my plans. I mean, I wouldn't want him away much longer but it's good to have free reign for a while!

So, as well as a couple of lunches with friends and excessively enjoying Hinamatsuri, I have also been...

Prancing about in front of the mirror in my new dress

Watching endless episodes of Scrubs. John doesn't like it and I have a rarely indulged love, so on it went :D

Eating far too much chocolate, and trying out chocolate fish for the first time. I don't remember the name but they are delicious!

Re-reading everything Jane Austen ever wrote on my kindle. If I was in England, I'd hate kindles. Living abroad, I see them as one of the best inventions ever made.


Cooking and eating lots of homey food, like this pumpkin soup with croutons. Mmmm.

Having random lunches out, just because I can. This is ramen from our local ramen place and it's delicious. Leaves you feeling like a bloated, greasy, sleepy mess though! 

Getting a haircut. 

Having lazy breakfasts.

Playing more with felting (Again, blogger with the stupid photo rotating. GRR)



Listening to the Evita soundtrack a lot. 4 years with me has made John be able to cope with most musicals soundtracks, but Evita is still beyond him, so it's always blasted out when he's away! 

I hope you've all been indulging yourself in your favourite things this week too!

  1. "Evita" is my go-to soundtrack when I'm cleaning my apartment! Which I feel is constantly. Godzilla dust-bunnies everywhere, all the time.

    1. I feel that I clean a lot too...however that's mainly because I live with a very messy boyfriend!

      I don't know the name, one of my Japanese friends took me. Its right by KitaSendai station, and I'd definitely recommend it, the main hairdresser there is lovely and speaks some English :D
