Fishies

February 17, 2017February 18, 2017 Mel xLeave a comment

I am having a slightly better but still not great day today. Mainly because I have a chest infection that is kicking my arse. I haven’t left the house for ages. This does not do my brain any favours. Square 48 was made up sitting on the sofa watching Doctor Strange with my 5-year-old (yeah I…… Continue reading Fishies

46 – 47

February 16, 2017February 18, 2017 Mel xLeave a comment

I just couldn’t be bothered to look at patterns. I cant really be bothered with much at the moment. Blah. Square 46 – alternative rows of single and double crochets. Square 47 does have a pattern, a very easy pattern. Its called the Open Granny Square I really need to start sewing these things together!

A few days off -the blogging not crochet

February 15, 2017 Mel x3 Comments

I just haven’t had it in me to blog over the last few days. I have been doing my squares though. Square 42  – I made it up. It wasn’t all that successful. I was also in a bit of a depression fog so I can’t actually remember what I did. It makes me laugh…… Continue reading A few days off -the blogging not crochet

A better day :)

February 10, 2017February 10, 2017 Mel x1 Comment

It is still unpleasantly grey here in Baku but today was a better day mental health wise. It started off wobbly when for the first time this year I could not bring myself to get out of bed. I had my head under the duvet and a few tears until 10am. I managed to get…… Continue reading A better day 🙂

Its raining, its pouring….

February 9, 2017February 9, 2017 Mel xLeave a comment

Another crap day. Grey and cold. I can feel myself becoming more depressed. I really do think my general happiness is linked to sun, I was never happier than when we lived in Dubai. The UAE is the only country that I have ever lived in where I didn’t take medication. I miss it. A…… Continue reading Its raining, its pouring….

Not the weather for running

February 8, 2017February 9, 2017 Mel xLeave a comment

I swear I am still cold from this morning. It is freezing, raining and miserable in Baku today. Not the best weather for running but we did it anyway. It was awful. Freezing and wet but we got it done and actually managed more than we have previously, probably because we were hoping to just…… Continue reading Not the weather for running

Photography walk in the old city

February 7, 2017February 8, 2017 Mel x2 Comments

Parts of Baku are very pretty, the Old City (İçərişəhər in Azerbaijani) being one of the nicest in my opinion. I think it’s because its old school Baku in the middle of a fast changing, on its way to being throughly modern city. The contrast between İçərişəhər and the city out side of its walls is extreme in…… Continue reading Photography walk in the old city

Three square, a sandstorm & Demi Lovato.

February 6, 2017February 6, 2017 Mel x1 Comment

I spent the last few days in Dubai with my baby girl, which is why no blog for a while due to crappy internet in the hotel. We went to RedFest DBX ,thanks to our amazing friends who hooked us up with fab VIP tickets. We had such a great time. It was pretty worrying when…… Continue reading Three square, a sandstorm & Demi Lovato.

Snow day

February 1, 2017 Mel xLeave a comment

The kids got their wish, it was a snow day from school today. We woke up to the a winter wonderland here. The snow is so high that you can’t see the seats on the swing set in the garden. I can not wait to get on a plane to Dubai tomorrow morning for my girly…… Continue reading Snow day
