Good night&#8230;</p> <p>Today P and I picked up some Boris Bikes in Waterloo and biked up to Brick Lane. I thought twice I might die - once because of cars and once because Southwark Bridge is WAY STEEPER than I thought it was.. my thighs! An afternoon of brunch and pootling about Columbia Road followed. Lovely.</p> <p>Although I managed to end the weekend with 33 metres of bridal papel picado. Damn that amazing Mexican store on Columbia Road. I KNOW it is overpriced. I lived in the DF for 5 years and know what the mark-ups are but I still can&#8217;t resist it. Mexican stuff is just so pretty. And they&#8217;re really nice there. I also bought some tin hearts, which I love and cannot WAIT to put up.  The whole store was reminiscent of my childhood. I wanted all of it.</p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7049/6904699641_8288177f81_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7191/6904703961_61962eb3a5_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7207/6904707831_b6cc007398_z.jpg"/></p> <p>Also, obviously, there was some painting and DIY.</p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7192/6904750753_c7f4def09f_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7050/6904760509_57344a6212_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7208/6904776875_25e32f02f2_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7040/6904792951_92c9c150aa_z.jpg"/></p>http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/17900151420http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/17900151420Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:22:00 -0500<p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7007/6825730137_1f23ec1e4c_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7146/6825744989_e6e28d16f7_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7155/6825746313_7db63ef286_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7148/6825771995_f6a5c7c037_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7017/6825812075_524f7516c6_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7022/6825813629_0415aa33d1_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7020/6825825951_067065227a_z.jpg"/></p>http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/17116821203http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/17116821203Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:08:09 -0500<p>It feels like my life is spent doing DIY now. This weekend we took a break from doing work on the house. How did we spend it? Fixing our broken shower, adding in a dimmer switch to the living room and starting an upcycling project. Apparently since we started working all weekend every weekend, it&#8217;s much harder to take a break. When you know how many things need to be done, it&#8217;s hard to sit still for very long&#8230;</p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7007/6788413569_289f469c87_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6788415781_871c5886fe_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7029/6788419099_f5c2c643a7_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7173/6788424455_bf8d76862f_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7025/6788426819_37ab967bd4_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7148/6788427481_06399607b7_z.jpg"/></p>http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/16776678786http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/16776678786Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:17:24 -0500<p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7152/6744963461_098e620ff2_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6744985183_076dd793c1_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7035/6744994797_8bc16c9c8a_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6745014181_a0e708687f_z.jpg"/><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7034/6745020631_56015110c2_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7166/6745041213_406826bd39_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7012/6745052849_520c14a8bb_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7146/6745058213_d369dd1a7c_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7005/6745088191_6a0cdd4f65_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7014/6745092693_6231ce6c02_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7171/6745097565_2f64a7b63f_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7022/6745106461_3b601b2ac4_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7035/6745114291_b1ac715378_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/6745122235_d7cf0ceb6a_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7011/6745132057_78785e1248_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7034/6745165939_e129400acd_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6745178909_632e335803_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6744908095_54f1f54d3d_z.jpg"/></p> <p>Phew.</p>http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/16315610046http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/16315610046Sun, 22 Jan 2012 17:53:26 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly49bf8cEM1qzpxpso1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Hopefully we can unpack some boxes soon though…</p>http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/16187373624http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/16187373624Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:35:38 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly49a67oDs1qzpxpso1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>The flat is starting to look pretty awesome</p>http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/16187332940http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/16187332940Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:34:53 -0500<p>Despite the recession and seemingly endless bad news on a wider, country-wide and global scale, last year was one of the best years of my life. </p> <p>This is a bit of a smugfest, so apologies for that. But it&#8217;s been a good year. I&#8217;ve had some years which have been pretty crappy so I feel doubly appreciative of everything I was blessed with in 2011.</p> <p>Some of the best bits:</p> <p>- moving in with Peter<br/> - getting engaged<br/> - going to Denver and meeting my friends&#8217; son for the first time<br/> - fake Christmas with the NMIS group<br/> - having really good friends who are great at fish punnery<br/> - my god daughter saying my name for the first time<br/> - my parents moving to the UK<br/> - thanksgiving at my parents&#8217; house<br/> - buying a flat and getting excited about what it will look like when we finish doing it up<br/> - finding out great work news for both me and Peter right before Christmas</p> <p>If 2012 is even half as good to me as 2011 was, it will be a great year. I hope your year is full of happiness!</p>http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/15143365718http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/15143365718Sun, 01 Jan 2012 17:01:22 -0500<p><img height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7027/6493914333_04b6b2dc87_z.jpg" width="480"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7020/6522101855_77fe48b527_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7168/6522140429_0ebeb39ebd_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7157/6522157051_6dab6f82e5_z.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7171/6522166377_68a364a7e4_z.jpg"/></p> <p>Tomorrow: the new floor.</p>http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/14318307668http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/14318307668Fri, 16 Dec 2011 14:53:34 -0500<p>I must say, this has been a very slow, but rather stonkingly good week.</p>http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/13984412686http://www.katiemorwenna.co.uk/post/13984412686Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:30:13 -0500
