Lovely Morning in Athens



I really like waking up in the morning and head to the window to check how the weather is like. If the weather is nice and sunny this means my day will be great if it's grey and cloudy arghh... might still be a good day but the weather is not really helping. :)

I ran in the bathroom to quickly take a shower with really really hot water (which i know isn't good for your body but i just can't help it!!) washed my teeth, cleaned up the kitchen from yesterday's dinner, had a grilled cheese sandwich and cereal with milk for breakfast and then did my hair and got ready to head out for a walk with my dog, Fudgie. We went to Fillopappou hill which is located in the heart of Athens really close to Acropolis. It's so peaceful and quiet and i love to go there when i have free time to relax and have a nice walk.

Listening to the birds and the sound of the wind blowing through the trees is so calming and in a fast-paced city you sometimes need to escape from all the craziness. Call me crazy but i often put on sounds of nature when i'm in my room after a long/bad day at work and after this i feel so much better.

The walk had me relaxed and now back at home for some food making. Whenever i want to cook something i always end up making something like pasta or omelet or order a pizza or souvlakia. So one day as i was browsing through youtube videos i found this amazing channel:

with so many recipes that you can choose from! Last night i made for dinner pasta with broccoli even though i alternate a little bit the original recipe and i also put white cream sauce in it because i like it and i wanna gain some weight. Seriously, i wanna gain some weight, i do not like being skinny but that's another story.


This is my dog, Fudgie.
 In the afternoon i will go running. Hopefully i won't have any of these cravings for souvlaki tonight cause EVERY single time i go for a run i end up in Panormou eating souvlakia. (LOL)
