Hello All

Today I did the usual, except I bought some tights in leopard print. Grey leopard print. it is my crack, I can't help it.

I went to a Body Tone class at the gym and DIED. It was so hard! I hate the classes but I am trying to have a go at them all as time goes on, just in case I miss something that I like. This one is hard and horrid but at 45 mins, I am sure did me some good and isn't that long to endure... it was all aerobics and squats and weights and bum clenching. I was the awkward one at the back wobbling about and going left when I should have gone right. I am really not very good at those sorts of things, but I will go next week. I have another Russian class tomorrow. Today, I bought a "RUSSIAN in 10 minutes a day" book. As Elena said, it isn't great, but it has stickers in it that I have stuck on things so I know what they are in Russian, and the vocabulary list in it is good.

I have just been speaking to my great friend Tim about our impending Iceland trip. Now he knows, we are both very excited. He always wanted to go there. I did know this, I did too, but I paid special attention to booking the trip and wanted to go somewhere that he would really enjoy. I hope we get to see and do all we want... the Northern Lights especially and various landscapes. It will be brilliant.

Also, He was very impressed with my Russian lessons and said he always wanted to learn. I told him bits that I'd learnt already and he seemed impressed. Maybe in a few months he might start, and then I can drag him with me to Moscow haha!

I am also now planning a big trip, to coincide with my NY trip in March, a big DN gathering. Marcos and Morgan and I are arranging it, well mainly Morgan and Marcos who will find a big house for us during the stay haha. Marcos is a great photographer. If you can, you should check out his work. I am not just saying that as I intend to work with him, but he really is amazing. He takes fantastic shots of the female form, but I actually personally prefer the head shots he does. I don't want to say this to him incase he thinks it is creepy, having him said to me that he'd like to shoot some portraits of me. His website has his picures embedded in flash so I cannot figure out how to get the pictures to show here, but have a look at: http://mriveraphoto.com

Someone keeps on writing in my honesty box on my Facebook profile! I hope it is this one person in particular. I like this boy but we are just friends. We are good enough friends for me to be happy at that, but I can't help think maybe.... anyway... I want to know who it is! We got into some dialogue about it, and maybe I will find out one day...

Now I should get away from my компыотер and go to the ванная... пока!
