Happy Monday!
I’m writing this with one eye on my phone, cos someone just put a lure on the building next door and aaaaaall the cool Pokemon are turning up to the party right now…
Guys, I’m hooked on this game.
Gary finally downloaded it on Saturday, so we spent all morning chasing Pokemon over Clapham Common. My step count has never looked healthier.
More news from this week: the heatwave FINALLY seems to have calmed the hell down.
I’m an autumn baby at heart, and last week was just too much for me. I love me some sunshine – but the 70% humidity can do one.
So hooray for fresh air and cool breezes!
(And spare a thought for my poor old boyfriend. He had to put up with me crying every morning last week, cos I was tired and grouchy and WHY DO I HAVE TO IRON THIS STUPID SHIRT. IT’S TOO HOT TO BE IRONING SHIRTS.)
(I know. I’m a sparkly delight when I’m hot and sleep-deprived…)
But apart from the heatwave, it’s been a pretty epic week!
New baby celebrations (not mine obvs), puppy cuddles (sadly not mine either), some YUMMY food, and lots of lovely catch ups with friends. What more could you ask for?
1. Pergola on the Roof. OHMYGOSH LOOK HOW PRETTY IT IS. Full post coming next week but basically: the food was pretty, the drinks were pretty and the decor was pretty. It was pretty.
2. Toddler cuddles. I met up with my cousin and her little boy on Saturday afternoon. He is the cutest, cheekiest, smiliest little dude, and I’m completely in love ♥
3. Finally nailing down my new logo! The lovely Tasha is tidying it up for me, then as soon as that’s done I’ll be sorting out my design, and hopefully by the end of this week I’ll be ready to re-launch! I’M VERY EXCITED.
4. Pizza, prosecco and YouTube videos. I had the giggliest night in with the Bangarang ladies (and Pablo) on Friday night. There’s nothing like silly videos, lots of bubbles and some sparkly shoes to set you up for a good weekend! ♥
5. “Falling in Love with Life”. Sophie’s blog post gave me all the happy fuzzies when I spotted it on my Facebook feed last week!
6. Mini golf. Claire, Charlie and I did a little day trip to one of the Royal Caribbean cruise ships and spent the morning playing mini golf. Because what else would you do on a giant ship?
7. Seafood pasta. Gary made me a fresh seafood pasta in white wine sauce last night and it was everything my belly has ever dreamed of.
8. Saturday lie-ins. Don’t you just LOVE waking up early, rolling over, and going straight back to sleep, cos you know you don’t have anything to wake up early for?
9. Emma’s YouTube trailer. I’ve watched it like 12 times. It’s so utterly perfect for Emma, and it makes me giggle every time ♥
10. Iced hot chocolate. We bought iced hot chocolate at Dark Sugars on Brick Lane and OH MY GIDDY AUNT. Forget cold chocolate milk – this is pure, proper, THICK chocolate. And it’s worth every single penny of the £5 (each) that we paid for it.
I’ve actually really struggled to write this today. No idea why.
I knew exactly what 10 things I wanted to talk about, but my brain just seems to have forgotten how to put together a sentence. Weird. (Also: unhelpful. I have three more I wanted to get done today!)
Also, if anyone wants to do their good deed for the day: have a read of this. The lovely Talented Talkers team are putting together a Bring and Buy sale for Belle, one of their colleagues. It’s to help fundraise the costs for a life-changing medical procedure, that will help end the constant chronic pain she’s in.
You can read more about it on the website, but if you’ve got any old clothes or books or things you no longer want – post it to TT Towers. It could really help change Belle’s life.
Now go forth and have a fab week! ♥
