Day 124 A day spent on looking for upholstery

As I didn't like the standard fabric used in the sofa that we ordered, the manufacturer has kindly agreed to let me have my own choice of fabric.  Based in his recommendations we went and checked our what's available at Raigama textiles and Royal Drapers. Unfortunately there was nothing that caught my eye and we finally checked Raux Brothers which I knew to be on the high end of the pricing spectrum. Just as I expected, they had a wide and beautiful choice of materials but were too pricey and as they have to get them down from Australia, they take time too. 

So we couldn't  really finalize things today but I gathered some insight about upholstery shopping in Sri Lanka :). 

Day 123. Started reading Jamaica Inn by Daphne Du Maurier

The search is over! I finally found the book that I have been wanting to read for a very long time. Even though 'Rebecca' by Daphne is a popular novel that is generally available in bookstores, her other books are quite hard to get hold of.  However, these days her entire collection of books are available at Sarasavi bookshop and I bought copies of Jamaica Inn and Frenchman's Creek. I hope to read them over the next few weeks whenever time permits. I am so excited! 

Day 122

Day 121 Embarked on a Diet Program

I do not believe in diets, not at all. But over the last few months I learnt it the hard way, that no matter how much you work out, you are what you eat!  Also, I have been uncharacteristically obsessed with my weight in the past few weeks. I was checking out my weight obsessively and compulsively about 3 times a day! Perhaps this was fueled by the fact that I have extra time at hand. Any how I decided to take action today and started on a diet. The plan is to have a cup of tea and cereal only for breakfast and a very small portion of rice with a bigger portion of vegetables for lunch. So today I started the day with one of my favorites- marks and spencer porridge. 

Day 120 Watched Coffee with Karan and Jimmy Kimmel Live

I quite enjoy this talk show conducted by karan Johar and thought I will watch an episode on youtube today as its been a while since I last saw it. I watched the interview of Anil Kapoor and his daughter Sonam kapoor and it was quite an amusing episode. I know almost all the bollywood stars (at least that's what I thought) but I never knew Sonam Kapoor existed! So it was good get to know her and I thought she is quite pretty and sounded a little blonde but in a sweet way.

I also saw an interview of Kim Kardhashian today on youtube. It was an appearance she had made on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show early this year. 

She of course sounded insufferably and painfully blonde that I did not watch the entire episode. Maybe I will some other time- after all she is one of the highest earning celebrities in the world, I am sure she has something to offer.  

So briefly speaking I had a day of many blonde moments but I am happy to be catching up on the celebrity gossip! (Since when??) 

Day 119 Ordered a new Sofa for the House

31st March 2014

As it is the new year season, we thought we'll make a little change to our home and thought of getting a new sofa. We placed an order today but decided to select the fabric ourselves rather than resorting to the one standard one which doesn't coordinate we'll with our home interiors. So I will be checking out fabrics over the next week.
