fading fader

as arrogant as Meiko is,

i cannot deny that castle college is brilliant.

the new master invite Daniel Bell for a concert

and although i only heard the last bits of it while hiding in the balcony

i must say it was lovely.

mind you,

i am no fan of violins or strings for that matter.

neither am i saying his skills were perfect.

but the evening was delicately woven in a precise manner

that i know my memory would not forget.

standing in the balcony of castle's great hall. 

(where people are studying)

we attempted to play settlers of catan with an extension

2 hours later. . . 

we were only 3/4 through the rules.

(not that we were learning it furiously)

still.

i must proclaim that this is the best game ever!

and being "finance" students.

we colluded, monopolised, traded on futures and derivatives.

woke up feeling hungry.

yes. 

my action plan has started.

i wouldn't say i am dieting. 

(if i may say so)

i am just training my body to recognise and distinguish hunger.

sad that my body/brain has completely lost control of a primary function.

making a conscious effort to watch what i eat. 

asking if i am truly hungry or just wanting to chew on something.

on a brighter note

(literally)

it was an exceptionally warm day!

that made me really happy. 

for the first time in months. 

i stepped out of the house without boots and coat!

to think about it.

this is the first time my feet has ever seen sunshine!

(why do i sound deprived)

tea

vennel's cafe

i love the decor

but whipping out my phone and taking pictures 

would be somewhat equivalent to screaming "hail hitler"

i think i should stop "tea sessions"

a pot of tea for 2 quid.

when i have decent earl grey tea bags at home.

(no, not justified)

another positive thing

(always good to recall the good right?)

i went running!

yes,

mother would be so elated.

(she has been somewhat pleading me to exercise)

tested out my still hurting ankle

and i am glad to say that i can run.

perhaps on incredibly fast or long distances.

also,

i went running wearing only 

my adidas tee and fbt shorts!

this was how warm it got! 

13ºC according to forecasts

7ºC for real feel!

note :

the last time i ran

i wore my running gear with

leggings

fleece jacket

gloves

please forgive my excitement

now.

back to my books.

FMBF hasn't been too kind.
