So my holiday has officially begin and I celebrated it with a lie-in! I spent my morning tidying my room and packing as I am flying off to Lithuania this afternoon. I'll be back on Tuesday and catch everyone up with all the shenanigans. Wish me luck...

Holi-moly that’s a lot of colour
I hope everyone had a great weekend; mine, for one was
very colourful. I had another busy
week which included catch-up drinks with Edita at Corney & Barrow and an amazing dinner at Tyyabs (already bragged
about here) to celebrate my mum’s up-and-coming birthday.
I had no major plans for the weekend but when a spare ticket
became available for the Holi Festival of Colours at Battersea, I had to go!
So, after a lazy, relaxing morning, me and Natz put on some light-coloured,
sparkly clean clothing, had a little too much wine (and gin) and made our way to
Battersea Power Station. The atmosphere was amazing and the festival is
something that I have never experienced before. It was awesome to see everyone
jumping around, dancing and throwing powdered colour all around! All in all, I
had an awesome time, until I lost my phone. I left earlier than Natz since I
was too worried about my phone and just wanted to call my network and cancel
my contract , but phone issues aside, it was a fab day/evening out and something that I would absolutely love to go to again!
Pre-paint, crystal-clean |
As for today, my morning was spent waiting until the shops
opened, so I could buy a new phone, then enjoying Domino’s pizza over movies
and then a tennis match with Richard who has been visiting London at the
weekend. Overall, it has been another great weekend and I can predict that I
will spend the week getting rid of all this paint that still hasn’t washed off, despite two, extra-long showers!
Hope everyone has a great week!

Domesticated weekend
After a hectic couple of weekends, a busy week and an
exhausting, mental Friday, a mellow,
relaxed weekend was exactly what I needed and what I got.
I had an early start on Saturday and had a very productive
morning. Having sorted out bits and bops around the flat, I headed up to Westfield
in Shepherd’s Bush. I managed to control myself and not buy anything at all but
spent the day mooching around. Not being used to lazy weekends, I went a bit
stir-crazy once I got home. Since I had a bit of a headache and wasn’t feeling
great, leaving again wasn’t something I wanted to do so I spent the evening,
enjoying movie night with Mark.
I had another productive morning on Sunday, after which I
headed up to Clapham, to meet up with my lovely friend Rosie. We spent the
afternoon in Birdhouse, over some delicious steak sandwiches and some amazing banana bread for dessert (definitely coming back for the banana
bread!) Birdhouse is definitely on my to-visit-again list. The place was so
cute with delicious food! Yum! After our long catch-up, I headed back home and
had a very domestic evening, making a roast dinner for Mark and Natz, followed
by some carrot cake for dessert. It wasn’t the best roast (or cake) that I have
ever made but it was great to cook a proper meal again and especially
when it wasn’t just for myself.
Overall, another successful weekend has come and gone. Hope
everyone has a fab week!
