Lost in Brixton
my gran died. not a surprise as she was 99 and her health had been declining, but somehow i found it quite sad nevertheless. like, sadder than i expected. but i guess grief is not logical. her death just made me think of the big picture in that she is my connection to my past and all that. and now she is gone. i genuinely liked and admired her. i did not inherit her best qualities but all the more reason to admire.
this week was our monthly anniversary. sometimes doctor is working or there is something else, but this time we managed to have a nice home cooked meal and then a romantic candle lit bubble bath. thaat mightve been the highlight of the week, the rest was sad/stressy/irritating and tiring. i did not have energy to work on my own projects or stuff, just barely got through the 'life admin' tasks i had. but today i did organise papers a bit! in this promised land of papers, u need to save nearky everything, which feels ridiculous but then you just get used to it. when in Rome, do as the Romans...
there was a heatwave a week ago which lasted for like a week, too. 27-33 degrees every day. i cherished it. we went out for walks, met friends for a picnic and even visited the local outdoor pool (Lido). it was crowded as expected though.
picnic. we had loads of stuff to eat but this is clearly after the strawberries, bread, cookies, guacomaloe etc satisfied our hunger...
random lunch; veggie sausages and salad and veggies and yogurt.
Coke is trying to take a share of the energy drink market i guess? it was a weird mix of coke and one of those sweet energy drinks... i can drink it but wasnt great. at the price point though i think they might have a chance, its priced between the "really cheap"and the premium ones (such as red bull).
there is a new rooftop terrace in Brixton Village called Lost. we stumbled upon it by accident, very cute and summery.
im working on the gradient puzzle.
ordered Monin pink grapefruit syrup. the packaging was really something else...
American Woman seems like an interesting film. but i think it would depress me. for years now ive been avoiding stuff that i think will pull me down. yet i watch the trailers and im drawn to them. its some kind of a conflict within me. instead im looking to see Great Great Great, which still has that drama part but is maybe not that heavy. and maybe The Secret Life of Pets 2... cos thats just cute.
Nick Cave's Red Hand Files is nice to read, he writes well which is not surprising.
the flat buying purchase just keeping dragging on. our solicitor is waiting for "local authority search pack". they said it will come by September 9. nice, we've only waited for a month. i google this search pack thing and indeed, they take up to 6 weeks... its become very clear why buying a property is so slow here. its still ridiculous BS... but this is the way it is. i keep my mind off it mostly, these things go so wrong oftentimes, are cancelled completely and whatnot, so its better if im not too attached. weird to not have any idea when we might be moving.
