Sunday
It is Sunday, and it's 6:23 am - what am I doing blogging? I woke up and first I thought I would revise a bit and then I thought I would blog now as I have a very busy day in front of me. Stil in bed and will probably switch off and go to sleep another bit again.
Yesterday we went to Metz in France- it was horribel weather and by the look of it still is- yesterday it rained non stop and got really very cold but we still enjoyed it - bought a nice big handbag which I needed. Metz is a nice city and I'm glad that in the midst of the rain I suggested to my friends to take one of these cute tourist train rides with commentary. I have been to Metz once before but we always go to the centre where the shops are and get to the cathedral - and that's it. This 45 mins tourist train thing really took us around and I was so surprised at the beautiful squares this city has with such lovely parks! No photos cause no camera plus bad weather although I should have some from my previous visit. We had gone 2 months ago but the beautiful thing now is that tulips are everywhere especially in roundabouts and around one of the roundabouts all tulips where on the pinkish/purple scale so it sent from white with a hint of pink or purple to bright pink and purple so dark it looked like black - so so beautiful. I can see this change even in luxembourg as I see beautiful tulips and daffodils where 2 months ago there was snow! Also got my eurodisney tickets and managed to study a biti in the morning as a I have important exams in less than a month but I'll talk about those another time. Food wise I had cereal for breakfast, 2 salmon and salad sandwiches for lunch and a plate of penne with veal for dinner from metz. The penne portion was a bit big but I took it with tomato sauce and stayed away from the cream. Actually took them case they were with poivrons and I did not know what they were in English - the waitress could not explain it - and eventually they turned out to be greenpeppers. I am pretty good in French, nowhere near great, but it has really improved since I'm here. I did 50 situps in the morning and walked a great deal in Metz. All in all a great diet day. Am not seeing any results in that I'm not feeling better physically but I think my body is still processing the amount of food I ate in Malta during Easter break as I ate a lot.
Today i have to meet a friend and go to mass in Italian, then she comes here for lunch - probably pasta again - but a carefully weighted portion and then I go with her to bake a cake in the afternoon. Will take a small piece, obviously I need to test my work!!! Will do 100 sit ups - ain't I the fitness hero? :) Have a great sunday everyone.
