Eight days a week

Sunday breakfast. Ok, looks like total crap but I totally maintain it’s the simple things in life that win hands down every time! Toast with REAL butter, heinz baked beans, bacon (there was two pieces but I sneakily munched one before I took this picture) and wee willy winky sausages. I havent had wee willy winkies since I lived with my mum, Aaron and Tyler used to eat them all the time. So when we did our last big food shop I had to get some. They are the best little sausages ever! Haha.

A massive, hot cup of tea. I have just ran out of my brewhaha teabags, but oh my they make a wonderful cuppa. What is your tea of choice? I would quite like to get proper tea leaves and a strainer like they have in the Brewhaha shop in glasgow. A cup of tea always makes me feel better in whatever situation I’m in, or however I’m feeling.

That bloody fringe is driving me up the wall. It’s pretty much hit or miss whether I can dry and style it properly. It has been a good distraction in my bid to grow my hair long (I’d always get to a point where I’m like JUST CHOP IT ‘AW OFF!) but I’ve started sweeping it to the side some days now, like I did at my Dad’s wedding in the previous post (And just to clear up any confusion from the comments… Julie is my step mum, not my actual mum)

Sunday lunch in Glasgow’s west end. More bacon, aaargh! I promise I walked enough that day to justify my greedyness. Myself and my lovely friend Katrina went to Hillhead Book Club for a bite to eat. Katrina had the veggie lasagne, and I had french toast with bacon and maple syrup. Her tipple of choice was cider and black and mines was my fave at the mo – Rekorderlig strawberry and lime cider. It is amazing. Can’t beat a cheeky wee pint on a sunny sunday. We went for a wander around the charity and vintage shops afterwards, and I got a couple of bits and bobs in town which I’ll share with ya in my next post (lets just say, 100% woolen cardi for £15, result!) and also got some pieces for our Katy Perry outfits. I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, but yes we are total fangirls and are going to dress up for her gig in april – california girls style! David thinks I’m absolutely mental. But it’s all good fun and I can’t wait to share it with you all 😉

Sushi times with Erin. My wonderful friend Erin moved down to Chester for her work, I miss her so much and luckily still get to see her every few months when she comes up for a visit. I defs plan on going down to see her once I’ve finished up on this current job! And although she was very hungover, she came to meet me on sunday night at Yo Sushi for a much needed catch up. I don’t understand people who can have massive platters of sushi, I saw it all the time on my europe travels, people eating 20-30 pieces… I’d say 10 is my absolute max! It just fills me up so quickly. Strange.

Sunday at bedtime. Before…

I was doing a couple of days work on a feature film at the start of the week, so on sunday night when I came home from my busy wee day out shopping, eating and catching up, I had to sort out my Art dept and Scenic Art kits. I rotate what tools etc I’m going to pack around what job I’m doing. I guess the key is to take a small amount of as many different tools/materials as you can. I haven’t been caught out yet, so I’m quite happy with my current inventory. Also the last job I was on, the designer gave me money to go and replenish my kit for things I had used up on that job. I always used to wonder at uni what will I need in my kit when I am freelance, and how much of it, and what brand, and what colours. But it has only by actually being out working I have been able to grasp the kind of things I should always be stocked up with. While also being prepared to expect the unexpected.

Recently I have felt more of a ‘grown up’ than I have ever felt in my whole life. I think its mostly to do with being pushed out of my comfort zone left right and centre. When it comes to working, finances, living away from home, and just trying to make it all fit together nicely while still finding time to do stuff I enjoy. Had a couple of flat viewings during the week in the little town between glasgow and edinburgh that me and david are planning to move to next. My lovely gal Leah drove me through because David was working. Unfortunately, I would have put a security down on either one of these flats but both were JUST snapped up by the people before us 🙁 Gutted, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be eh? So the hunt continues and the clock is ticking, wish us luck ♥
