Collection of thoughts, photos
Happy Easter to those who celebrate! And to everyone else- happy Sunday/Monday! It's been an absolutely beautiful 20+ degree weather this week in London (heh, back in Canada they had snow) and I spent most of this afternoon on a rooftop garden after being stuffed full of delicious food. Also, way too many chocolate eggs.
I was going to post a couple of pretty London photos... and just realised that I have none, as my camera broke last week and I haven't managed to get the photos off the memory card yet. So, in the meantime - how about a London photo plus a few other pretty pictures?
View from Waterloo Bridge
Outside Gazi Husrev-Beg Mosque, Sarajevo
Butmir, outskirts of Sarajevo
Latin Bridge (site of Archduke Ferndinand's assassination), Sarajevo
Dingle Pensinsula, Ireland
Sign on the Aran Islands, Ireland
And to finish, an appropriately Easter type of picture - although taken in November. Juno Beach, Normandy coast, France.
Trying to get better at this updating thing... but it's been a crazy sort of month, starting a new part-time job and a new internship as well, am hoping this is one of the last times I have to work for free... but we'll see. Other stuff happened as well, but nothing I feel like going into at the moment.
It's past midnight and while I have tomorrow off (thanks to the UK's amazing bank holidays, of which I have another 2 coming up in the next couple of weeks week, with the Royal Wedding and May Day), I feel like going to bed now, because I know that means that when I wake up, the new Game of Thrones episode will *cough* magically make its way here.
I found the books for a few pounds at a charity shop so I'm now re-reading ASOFAI, and an about halfway through Game of Thrones now, and I've realised it's actually been about 10 years since I first read the series. Tangentially related- I am now 24. Odd in a way, I don't really feel like I should be in my mid-20s but I am. But getting back to Game of Thrones... I think I am enjoying the series a lot more this time around than when I was 14. And the tv series has definitely peaked my interest, although time will tell if it will actually turn into anything productive. Hopefully will talk about it a bit on my journal though.
Fandom-wise, I also watched the new Doctor Who this morning! And found it very exciting, although thoroughly confusing in the paradox-causing time-travelling sense. And that was an evil cliff-hanger to end on. :/
