not a connoisseur, just opinionated

today was sunny for a few hours after a long grey period. i got so inspired i went out for a long walk at the park listening to an audiobook. 

ive started to wear joggers. its historical. i had a pair of loungers i got in Melbourne and wore on a rare occasion but i didnt own joggers and typically i just wear my "normal" clothes at home. then i got these grey soft joggers from work and i recently found them in my pile of clothes and its winter and i dunno - just felt right. it might just be a phase, and im not wearing them daily, but its certainly a big change for me. i never saw myself as a joggers kind of person. but things change.they certainly are comfy.

i was recently at a dinner where a brit asked me what is my favorite british chocolate. we had as a group talked about chocolates and i had probably mentioned some international brands but somehow the focus turned to british chcocolate and everyone in the table seemed to rave about one type or another. i felt very "put on the spot". i have barely tasted any british chocolate, and when i have, its reinforced my impression that its really unimpressive. not worth further inspection. im not a self-proclaimed chocolate connoisseur though, i just have an opinion. but it was incredible difficult to wiggle my way out of that question to avoid hurting any feelings. 

dr has been away for 10 days on a silent retreat which is his yearly 'thing' now and he is returning tomorrow. i dont get lonely as im well versed in entertaining myself, and ive socialised as usual etc, but it will be nice to have him back. i bought some things from the grocery today that he likes and will do a bit of cleanup.

a puzzle i finished.
