... in which I plan plan plan

I'd love to pretend that my lack of updates has been down to my life being so full of exciting, lovely events that I haven't physically been able to find time to blog.

Sadly, it's mostly down to Megaflu. The build up to it took about a week, where I felt generally a bit rubbish and didn't have my usual massive appetite. Then came a day where I felt mostly fine, and went off to a fantastic, extravagant wedding with John and destroyed my feet with Evil Shoes. And the next day... Megaflu.

I took two days off work, drank tea, ate soup, cuddled cats and rested lots. It didn't help, so I went back to work, which didn't help me even more but lessened the guilt I was feeling at leaving my students unsupported.

On Saturday, Alice and I hung out whilst our other halves were having Man Weekend. We started off with a Thai massage, which was interesting as it was my first massage. It felt a bit rough at the time but my back and shoulders are loving it now. Coffee, lunch and brownies followed that, before an impromptu mini shopping trip.

And today is the first day of half term. Lovely!! I have lots to do but the little procrastinator inside me is telling me that none of it needs to be done today, so I'l be going with that advice for now, and dossing all day. Until I go to the gym with the girls. But that still falls under fun.

TTFN bbs, have a lovely day x

...in which I still feel too pale

And so ends another hectic, busy week. Made slightly better by all the freakin' sunshine we've had!

I'm seriously loving this little heatwave. Obviously, all the classrooms at work are sweltering, and my summer clothes had been put away but the upsides to the weather totally make up for things like that. I've spent my journeys home from work with my windows down pretending I'm on my way to the beach :) shame I didn't actually catch any more of a tan this week.

Last night was a hilarious meal/bowling extravaganza with John, Gem, Matt, Laura and Joe. A gorgeous dinner (which included yummy ribs) was followed by bowling lunacy, high fives, near-flashing and falling on the floor. A great night.



I also baked my first ever carrot cake (wuhu!). I tried a Greek recipe, because I knew that my parentals would be involved in the Tasting and Judging of it. Yesterday afternoon I set out all my ingredients and began.... and then realised my scales were broken. Horror set in before I decided to haphazardly guess most of the quantities. As a result I ended up with a delicious looking albeit flat cake, which my dad merrily took the piss out of, before asking for a rather large slice... in summary, it looks weird but tastes pretty nice, so I'm considering that a success!

Hope you all had a nice weekend, I'm gonna give The X Factor and Sexy Gary Barlow my full attention now :D
