MONDAY 19th AUGUST- A PICNIC

HELLO KAWAII-LINGS!

I have been having a really super time on my holiday. ^_^ SO super that I haven't even had time to blog. I'm planning to not do ANYTHING the next few days which means I can stay up late this evening & fill you in on my fun days out. You're so lucky!

Spencer L Tufts joined us on an adventure.

SO on Monday Andy and I had planned to go to Brighton for the day with our friends Jenny & Maria, but lack of money meant a last minute re-think and we drove to Queen Elizabeth Country Park for a picnic instead. I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to prepare a vegan meal at the last minute, but it was easier than I imagined. AND super tasty! I made a quick pasta with a vegan store-bought tomato sauce, olives, tomato, onion and parsley. I also had french bread with red chilli hummus, a fruit salad made with grape, pomegranate seeds, kiwi & blueberry AND Jenny made some special vegan scones for me. What a boff.

 Jenny, Maria & Spencer L. Tufts enjoying the 

beautiful day despite being attacked by bugs constantly.

We decided to take a stroll through the woodland afterwards & picked a 'moderate' trail to follow as Jenny doesn't ever walk anywhere and always wears heels. OH MY LORD IT WAS NOT MODERATE. I walk EVERYWHERE and I was so out of breath. Luckily I got to pretend I was only stopping to wait for Jenny who was constantly lagging behind because of her inappropriate footwear. There were so many hills! It was really beautiful though- I haven't been for a walk in the woods for a long time.

     Check out Jenny's shoes. She's not designed for the country, 

                                                 bless her.                                                

That evening Andy and I went to meet our work collegues for a drink as one of our friends is leaving soon. We intended to just go and hang out for a bit, but people kept buying us drinks because we so rarely go out and I ended up a wee bit tipsy. AT LEAST I DIDN'T HAVE WORK THE NEXT DAY.

MEWTANT

It was so nice to spend some time with my work friends outside of work- it hardly ever happens because I have so much to do. We had such a fun time! I really wanted to go out dancing but Andy wasn't really up for it. It's a shame because I was ready to throw down some of my best moves. Like this.

 Here are some pictures frorm the evening- you'll have to excuse how blurry the pics are- it was two for one cocktails.

Eileen turned up to say hello- I never got on with her at work but

after she left we became friends. She's an absolute sweetheart.

Go figure!

I look even taller than usual next to Andy as I'm 

wearing flatform shoes. Poor Andy.

This is beautiful Coraline. I adore her but

NEVER get to see her because her

life is even more hectic than mine. She is ace.

This is Dan who moves to Cardiff soon  

I will miss him- he does a good model face. I 

also blame him for my hangover as we only went

out becuase he's leaving.

Alessio, Pietro, Nikki, Eileen & MEEEE.

The next day I was a little sickly. My belly has been a bit cross the last few days anyway as it's just getting accustomed to the diet changes & I don't think a load of sugary cocktails really helped matters. Andy and I decided to go over to Gosport to visit his mum as it was such a nice day, and we might get a sneaky dinner in while we were there. We were in luck- she took us out for a meal and it was YUMMY. I ordered a bean chilli wrap with no cheese & no sour cream. Andy's mum forgot about the cheese though and when it came out it was SMOTHERED! Yikes! It looked so good as well- I really REALLY love cheese. Andy's mum said she'd order again but I didn't want to be difficult so I just scraped it off... although maybe not as thoroughly as possible so I could sneak a little bit of guilt free cheese in. NAUGHTY. It was my first slip up in the three weeks since I started though, and I'm maintaining that it wasn't my fault so therefore its totally cool. 

When we got back to her house I went upstairs to lie down for half an hour and ended up sleeping until Andy woke me up three hours later!! I'm such a terrible daughter-in-law. I basically just ate and slept. That's some serious goldilocks shit right there! She wasn't cross though- I like to think it's becausee I'm so adorable, but it's probably more to do with her loving Andy so much that she just accepts his creepy girlfriend. I LOVE HER.

AND WHEN I GOT HOME I SLEPT SOME MORE.

I love time off work.
