Weekly wrap up

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,

The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,

I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder Treason

Should ever be forgot.

This week has been full of bangs, crackles, pops, bright flashes and poor scared animals at home. It was Guy Fawkes night last night. The Meesh and I hunkered down and watched the fireworks from the warmth of the upstairs windows.

This week Mr B has been revising and doing exams for work. It's not been fun. I was demoted and a thick text book and pencil took my place. Needless to say he rocked those exams. And has a few extras letters after his name too.

This week I've been meaning to start An Ordinary Man, but haven't. On that note, please watch Hotel Rwanda if you get the chance.

This week, thanks to Maegan, I've been watching these makeup tutorials and I've splashed out on my favourite MAC lipstick {hug me} and {underage} lipglass.

This week this news article made me cry.......

This weekend we're off to a lovely little cottage by the sea!

I promise lots of photos!

{and I'm taking my Holga containing Marisa's roll of film!!}

Did you know?

Mr B is one of my most loyal readers.
I get spots, even now, 14 years after I officially became a teenager.
Mr B is horrified I've never even tried a chip butty.
I need to wear glasses or contact lenses to see anything at all.
Mr B used to be the captain of the university football team.
I am always cold.
Mr B always takes my place in bed when I've got up.
I get seriously grouchy when I'm hungry. Mr B will vouch for this one.
When I was little I used to listen to stories on cassette as I was falling asleep.
One of my favourite stories was The Flying Trunk.

Mr B and I. Royal Ascot. June 2007.

You should watch Seven Pounds... what an amazing film.

D.A.N.C.E

I. Love. This.

Enjoy!

Better late than never...

My weekly wrap up

Yes, I'm wearing an apron.

I didn't tell you that in Egypt I got a stinking cold. I was sunbathing next to the pool in one hundred degree heat clutching tissues and ibuprofen. I thought I'd got all my autumn illness out of the way but this week the stinking cold returned. Except this time it was much worse.

So, this week I've~

Been sleeping. Blowing my nose. Coughing. And sneezing. A lot.

Drunk a lot of water.

Cried sad and happy tears over Water for Elephants... if you've not read this book, do, it's amazing.

Started this book.

Been listening to a lot of disco classics.

Watched this strong, inspirational lady and watched my favourite winter show.

Had my hair cut shorter than it's ever been before. Mr B isn't keen. My work colleagues like it a lot. What do you think?

Received some faraway post from Court. The Meesh loves my card too!!

Wrap Up

This week I've

had a late breakfast of a big latte and even bigger almond croissant
loved London more than I ever have before
travelled over 300 miles for work
been inspired by this lady to try harder with my makeup
decided I don't love London at all anymore
{it took me two and a half hours to drive 15 miles}
started Water for Elephants
watched the West Wing
found out Mr B has a mini man crush on Sam Seaborn
almost finished my giveaway parcel

it's been hectic.

What have you all been up to this week? I'm counting down the minutes until I can nip home, pour myself a glass of wine, paint my fingernails and change into my pjs. Have a lovely weekend everybody!

Visitors

This weekend the original Mr and Mrs B came to stay. We don't get to see them often so it was highly anticipated and looked forward to. It didn't disappoint.

We introduced them to Thai food... it was a great success. I ate delicious chicken satay and missed Bali. We visited Hampton Court, the home of Henry VIII, ate meat pie, wondered at the amazing gardens, visited my parents and had afternoon tea at the Grosvenor and paid £30 for the privilege of parking there, oh I do love London prices!!

It was over far too soon.
