Every night I dream
Today I've been snacking on seasoned seaweed. A coworker said that it tastes like fish skin but I think that it is a delight! The perfect alternative to crackers or chips: crunchy, salty, spicy!
I spent last night looking for a hostel in London. The one that I usually stay at is unavailable and it primarily for students, and I'm old now... I'm looking for one that is inexpensive (well, by UK standards), close to central London (Covent Garden, Oxford St, Euston St, Picadilly, Kensington) so that I can walk around to pubs, shows, and bookstores on Charingcross Rd and feel like I'm safe and comfortable.

I also don't want to stay in a party hostel because I don't fancy drunk people bursting in, falling flat on their face while throwing a full cup of mysterious liquid all over me on the top bunk and then proceeding to vomit in a corner. This really happened in Madrid and it was an awful night!
But I would like it to have a common room or pub so that I may meet people to do stuff with. You know? I'll have to look again and make a decision tonight. It's only for 4 nights so it's not a big deal but still it's on my mind.
This dress was the first dress that I bought as an adult. I had this idea that dresses didn't look good on my body type (which, obviously, is complete bollocks! Dresses look good on everyone!) and only had skirts. One day I woke up in my single bed, in my little hut that was the staff accomdation at the little pub I worked at, in my little village on the coast of England and all I could think about was buying a dress. I walked through the field and over the bridge to the next village and bought this dress. It has taken me on adventures and taught me that dresses are lovely. And confidence is the lovliest of all. Here's a few other times I'm worn it:

Today I am thankful for pictures. When I was trying to find these old picture I went through many many memories. I love photographs!

And bravo to you for staying in hostels. I can't do it. Everything in else in my travels can be el cheapo, but I can't do hostels.
The dress is pretty fabulous, but I've gotta ask: where do you buy seasoned seaweed???
oh man....hostels! the first one i stayed at was in madrid, actually. it was my first trip to europe, and we had just checked out of a nice hotel and into a hostel. its was a bit of a shock....i may or may not have shed tears (hehe!).
good luck on your hunt!
