There is an unbelievable amount of things do to after you come back home after holidays! Sunday was a cleaning day (unfortunately for us, sleepy and tired, but still - thank you landlord for the new tiles in the bathroom, looks gooood!), Monday was a laundry day, and Tuesday was little things day.
And I still haven't done all I needed!
And I have my final exam coming.
And I will try to go to the gym tonight :)

Holidays!
Finally it's Friday and I am packing for our holidays in Greece! We didn't get much sun this summer, not mentioning proper heat... So I really cannot wait to land in Rhodes, the island of the sun :)
We have tickets, passports, money, some maps and a list of places we want to visit :)
Some pics will definitely show up in here... But the earliest in nine days' time!

Once
I saw this movie recently, although I heard about it a long time ago. Some were saying it's really boring, some - that it's beautiful.
Well, what can I say. There's a lot of songs in here, less action, so if you can't stand musical-like movies, don't try. Although all in all the movie isn't long at all, so maybe you could survive?
I think it is worth seeing because of the message it carries within.
I guess that "Once" is about people, friendship, love, about coincidence and fate, and about those little moments and events in our lives that happen and then pass away, but somehow change everything. But most of all, I think this movie is about music. About how important it is to people, how it helps them expressing their feelings of loneliness, pain, fear, grief... and about how powerful it can be in connecting two lonely souls. The girl and the guy become very close to each other in a couple of days because music allows them to open up, share their worries and hopes.
The end of the story somehow surprised me, but I guess that's the illness you might get after watching too many sweet commercial productions. This movie is also sweet, but in its own way. It is not a commercial one at all, and on top of that, the story it tells is very real.
I actually liked the authenticity of the ending, of the situations and the characters. Yes, that's how true life looks like. Once something amazing might happen, but it can just last for a moment and then it might be gone. It doesn't always become a fairytale.
So, maybe quite sad and bitter, but it let me really fell in love with the characters, with their real pictures and with the truth of their feelings.
Enjoy. And please don't cry.
PS The music doesn't necessary have to be your favourite, but I liked it a lot! You can hear some in the trailer:

Scotland
Last weekend was amazing.
I decided to pack some painkillers and I flew to Edinburgh. My ear surprisingly got much better during those two days :)
Scotland - at least those parts that I've seen - is beautiful, green, blue and sunny.
I loved visiting the castle and walking down the Royal Mile. I wish we had time to climb the hill near Holyroodhouse Palace...
Two days passed too quickly and I had to go back :(
I arrived in my town about 10.30pm on Sunday and when I caught a bus, the driver (seeing me with a small suitcase) said: Oh no, don't leave home...
I said: No no, I am coming back!

Infections
For the last few days I felt like crushed into pieces. I had an earache on Sunday so I went to hospital and a doctor prescribed me antibiotics and some drops, saying that my ear is a bit inflamed. Alright, I thought, quite tough medication as for a small inflammation, but at least I will get better soon.
I was WRONG. Monday and Tuesday went okay and I even went to work, but the next night I couldn't sleep because of terrible pain. I went to another doctor on Wednesday and I got prescription for different drops. But still I needed heavy painkillers to survive last night.
While sitting at home yesterday (what I am doing today as well, just to finally get better hopefully) and trying to write my last essay for Religious Studies, I discovered that my laptop is infected by some kind of nasty virus or whatever else... It took a whole day to fix it, and it all finished happily only thanks to my beloved, who is a computer master.
And on top of all these infections and unlucky events, I have a great opportunity to go to Scotland for a weekend - this weekend. I even have my tickets booked already...
So I am trying hard to get better. I still have two days. Fingers crossed!

Kitchen adventures
Today we made American pancakes for the first time. I don't know pretty anything about cooking and I am terrified when I have to be spontaneus with mixing ingredients, so I didn't hope for high achievement today. But... they turned out be to be very tasty! They were fluffy and smelled a bit like waffers :)
