2017: 100 Book Challenge

Hello! Welcome to another 2017 round-up post. I’ve already done a post about my favorite and least favorite movies of the 2017 and now it is time for my list of book for this year. I don’ really post about books on this blog (I write short comments about them on Instagram as @sharingshelves) but

Movie review: T2: Trainspotting

Hi! What an amazing time to be living in Scotland! This is the review of T2: Trainspotting! To note: I don’t have a nostalgic connection to this property – I’m coming to it as a complete newcomer (have seen the original, though). So, this could either mean that I can be more objective than the

Day Trip to Loch Ness

In preparation for Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them!!!

Christmas Run: Aberdeen Santa Run 2015

Hello! Welcome to another post about a running event! My last post on running was published  back in September, when I participated in the Night Run just before I left Lithuania, and you can find it here. Since then, I have literally been jogging only 3-5 times, so I wasn’t in my best shape for

Aberdeen’s Christmas Trees

 Hello! I hope that all of you are getting into the Christmas Spirit. I, personally, can’t wait for this year’s Christmas, because I get to go home to visit my family: finally, the song ‘Driving (or flying) home for Christmas’ will actually be meaningful. Anyway, in this post, I just wanted to share a few
