Start

This is, perhaps, the third blog I've started. One is entirely private and always has been, the other I started a good few years ago but gave up on when I'd got out of the habit of updating it.  But I enjoy writing, I adore writing. I just find it a little mind boggling that other people peruse these snippets of my mind. I read blogs regularly though and so here we go again with my attempts.


I'm presently in Barcelona and have been since Wednesday. To say I'm having a good time would be an understatement but I guess that begs the question why the hell I'm taking the time to do this now... well a holiday is about relaxing as well. I find it pretty hard to relax and just do nothing, my boyfriend probably finds this one of my worst traits, I'm always doing something, so this is my relaxation. Lee is sleeping - We've been swimming in the sea and walking around all day so it's probably a much needed sleep, so here I am transcribing a couple of my thoughts.

I love Barcelona. This, like my blogs, is the third time I've been (something in 3s?). I've been with friends every other time.  Lee has been a couple of times before too. This is our first proper holiday together.We've got a cute little room with a balcony close to the Gothic Quarter (my favourite part of the city). We've been to places I didn't go to when I came before and we've done an insane amount of walking. I've missed running and feel a little unhealthy from the food I've been eating and drinking I've been doing - I normally steer clear of ice cream and chocolate and hardly ever drink alcohol any more but this holiday - woa! It's really funny- Lee doesn't drink so when we've ordered a diet coke (Lee's drink of choice) and a beer the waiter(ress) has been utterly baffled when I've been the one claiming the beer.

I miss my puppy and kitties a ridiculous amount and it feels bizarre them not being here, but we'll be re-united on Tuesday night and with that I'll be acquainting myself with a detox, a gym membership and a 22 mile run.
