Weekend in Numbers

Okay, actually, this is more like a Week in Numbers post... or possibly a Month in Numbers post... or possibly... well, you'll see!



10: number of times I promised myself that one day I will work (in costume, hopefully) at Colonial Williamsburg while watching The Duchess on TV on Saturday night.

9: number of weeks until the end of the financial year at work.  As I work in fundraising, I feel absolutely no pressure on this front.  None whatsoever.  (Insert nervous giggle here.)

8: number of times I told Jon that we should have our free photoshoot in the gardens at Hampton Court Palace if we win Reverie's competition.


7: number of times Jon ignored me when I told him that we should have our free photoshoot in the gardens at Hampton Court Palace if we win Reverie's competition.

6: number of weeks since I last worked an eight hour day for five consecutive days.


5: number of weeks I have been successfully doing the NHS Couch to 5k program

4: number of fabulous American expats I met up with last week.  It was lovely to meet Karen over lunch in Westminster on Thursday and I had dinner with AT, Ashley, and MVC on Friday in Chelsea - so much fun!  (Yes, I cropped myself from this photo.  Too much sushi!)


3: number of Cream Cheese Braids I scarfed at/after breakfast on Sunday.  On the plus side, I didn't add the sugar glaze.  On the minus side, they were huge; this is 2/3 of one.



2: number of weeks until Jon and I go to Bar Boulud for Valentine's day!  We're going on Feburary 17th, not the 14th - that's just how we roll.

1: number of days until February.  How did that happen?  And why have I seen a daffodil blooming already?  Basically, what is this world coming to?


I hope you all had a lovely weekend, dear readers, wherever you are!

  1. So glad you had such a great day at Hampton Court and congrats on week 5! I can't wait for our race in March. Maybe it will be warmer by then? Maybe?

    1. thanks, Jin! It's pretty easy to make, but you do have to factor in the resting time - which I forgot to do! Oops.
