September 15, 2013 - My Healthy, Happier Life

Happy Sunday! For some of you the day is almost over and for others it’s just beginning. I guess that’s what you get when you write a blog in Geneva that many people read from across the pond. Our day was the opposite of Sunday Funday. We spent every single minute working on the flat or running errands for it until I left for the airport. When working to establish two homes, sometimes you have to sacrifice fun and games until the work is done. We turned down two opportunities to catch up with fellow London friends, including the lovely Casey. In addition, we let two tickets to Buckingham Palace go to waste because we knew that making headway on the flat was more important. Oh well, the good news is that by the time I left this afternoon the flat looked like a home. I mean, when I walked through the door Friday night our sea shipment had exploded all over the kitchen floor and counter. But by this morning we were able to cook in our kitchen together! The only other thing we did today besides cleaning, unpacking and organizing was take a walk through Marylebone. It turns out that the shops we needed didn’t open until noon today due to the Sunday Trading Act of 1994. Since we had 45 minutes until the shops open, we decided to spend the time getting some exercise versus going back home. We quickly walked around the neighborhood, making our way down to the Marble Arch and through the many side streets. As I was leaving this afternoon, on my way to London City Airport for the flight back to Geneva, I took a second to snap this picture of the courtyard. We’re so excited to eventually enjoy this outdoor space. I look forward to many lazy evenings sipping a glass of wine in the courtyard with friends before going to dinner. Unfortunately I don’t have any other pictures of the flat as we were too busy working to think twice about pictures. Hopefully I’ll have more to share with you soon! Until then, goodnight from Geneva and have a wonderful Monday! I’m counting down the minutes until my parents arrive on Wednesday! It will be so nice to have them here for two weeks!
