Weekend Adventures and Local Discoveries

Weekly News

❣️ Thanks to the artistic vibes of the Italian restaurant downstairs, I’ve been reminded quite early about Valentine’s Day and snagged tickets to an event at the Natural History Museum! Last year, I found out too late and everything was already sold out. By the way, there are still tickets available!

❣️ I finally got around to registering for a local tennis app. I’m joining the Islington women’s tennis league! There will be seven matches until mid-March for group advancement. One interesting fact at the moment is that one of my opponents has the last name Shakespeare.

❣️ Of course, I watched the Australian Open all week. I’m thrilled for Lena and Carlos, but it’s quite disheartening for Djokovic…

❣️ Yesterday, we took a stroll through Highgate, imagining what our future apartment might look like there. Once again, we stumbled upon a box filled with all sorts of odds and ends—more like they find us! We picked up this wonderful bottle opener made from deer horn. We’re taking it as part of a gift for a birthday celebration today!

❣️ We encountered an unusual tree! It's a Chilean Araucaria. These were quite fashionable in English gardens during the Victorian era. Unfortunately, it seems that this particular tree is dead—it should be completely green.

❣️ I’m still adjusting to such an early spring; we already have crocuses and daffodils blooming in the green meadows!
