My lungs still breathe, my mind still fears. But we're running out of time

In about two weeks, I'm going to London. I've not been since four years ago, which was a trip with my sisters. This time I'm travelling with Kiwi, my travelling-bud. The main-reason for our trip, is to visit some of the people we met during our travels this year. However, we both suspect we'll have time for ourselves, so I want to make the most out of that. I did quite a bit of research yesterday, mostly about food and shopping. There's a few shops I'm really looking forward to, also, I'm hoping to lose myself in a grocery store again. I had a nightmare trying to understand the Oyster-cards. They've got an option for tourists: The London Pass. However, I'm not going to travel within all the zones, which means it'll be a waste of money. I also considered a travelcard, but actually wrote to the costumer services. So, whenever you go travelling to a city where the public transport is good, always check the options when it comes to travel cards. Sometimes it pays off not getting one. In London however, it does pay off having an Oyster-card because you'll pay less for a ticket. Anywho, it nearly does my head in just thinking about it. I've watched the semifinals in GBBO (spoiler alert!), and although I knew the outcome beforehand (it was kind of obvious), it was a pretty sad one. I can't put my finger on why Selasi has grabbed so many hearts. But I suspect it's the character he is, he's an enigma. Just different, I guess. Nearly cried when I saw Mel and Sue say their farewells. It's a strange thing, because the show starts off so lighthearted and mostly just fun. However, it becomes so emotional as you can't help becoming fond of the contestants. I definitely think the contestants left in the final are worthy, and it is the way I wanted it to go. I didn't actually want Selasi in the finals because I didn't think he deserved it based on his past bakes. Five minutes into this episode, I was already shaking with nerves. But I also had a great laugh. Next week it's the final, the last episode. And I'm gutted. In my head it would last longer. I guess the next thing is Teen Wolf. Final season huh. I am worried that I'll dislike the last season, which is almost a given if my favourite characters won't be in it. And I'm pretty sure that's how it'll go. Nevertheless, I'll be watching it. I've kind of avoided watching trailers, because I want to be surprised. I have fifteen episodes left of s5 before I've watched all of the seasons over again. So maybe that'll be enough to keep me in the gap between the end of GBBO and the start of s6. I need to go to the shops, but I've been waiting for a package to arrive, so I can get everything done in one stop. It looks like it has arrived actually, but I've not received any messages yet. So, for now I'll just wait.

My lungs still breathe, my mind still fears. But we're running out of time, oh, the echoes in my mind cry

Jul er over liksom, men det er nå vinteren har kommet. Jeg hadde i utgangspunktet tenkt at mandag, ja da skal jeg gjøre alt jeg hadde lyst til over helgen. Hadde liksom så mange planer, og skulle stå opp tidlig. Satte alarmen på klokken ni, men var ikke ute av sengen før klokken var tolv. Det skal sies at jobb var slitsomt i helgen-- hadde ikke helt vendt meg tilbake til en god døgnrytme. Jobbet dagvakt etter en kveldsvakt. Ble vekket tidlig dagen jeg skulle på kveldsvakt. Ja, det var liksom en hel masse som gjorde at akkurat denne helgen ble litt tyngre. Så da jeg kom hjem i går, var jeg sånn og si sengeliggende, inntil jeg bestemte meg for å spise, for å så tilbringe de neste timene i sofaen og se på Midsomer Murders. Da jeg skulle legge meg begynte jeg selvfølgelig å se etter kjoler til bryllupet til min belieber friend. Typisk. Det betyr at alle planene mine for i dag ikke ble slik som jeg hadde sett for meg, og jeg nekter å gå ut at huset, så det er fint. Jeg hørte på Running With The Wolves av Aurora, og det minte meg på at Teen Wolf starter igjen i morgen! Jeg må innrømme at jeg ikke har lengtet etter serien, slik som jeg tidligere har gjort. Tror jeg har fylt tiden godt med å lese Teen Wolf-fan fiction. Men jeg kjenner at jeg gleder meg til å se hva som skjer videre, selv om jeg ikke savner å ha hjertet i halsen når jeg ser på episodene. Nå skal jeg lage meg mat, for jeg kjenner at energinivået nærmest er på bånn. God mandag.
