I've already packed my suitcase (yes, sad) and crossed off the checklist to-do before we fly (yes, sadder). But who can blame me... It's been awful weather in England these past few weeks, it's only recently started to look up again - just can't wait to get into the sun!
On a different note, I travelled back home over the bank holiday weekend for a longer stay than usual (now that I've finished deadlines). Pete drove down with me on Saturday afternoon, we roadtripped down the sunny M40 with a usb of good songs, aviators and Starbucks Frappaccino's (compulsory). On Sunday afternoon we did one of my all time favourite things - taking a countryside walk in the sun. We took silly photos, ran aimlessly, went all MI5 spying on the houses and ran from cows (okay, I ran). For lunch, we met up with my dad and his girlfriend, Mary, over lunch in Coast to Coast (new American restaurant in Touchwood) I had margarita pizza, olives and a white wine spritzer.
Other than this, we had a make-shift BBQ in the back garden on bank holiday Monday, and got fish and chips take away sitting outside to enjoy the evening sun followed by Les Mis! And - of course - it goes without saying, many, many servings of coffee and cake.
Soph's got a new job at L'Occitane! Hope she does lots of hours as we'll be able to go wild (and I can have my holiday money back!). Which also reminds me, I need to look for a job in September. Ah, Victoria's Secret when will you hear my cries. Over the summer I'll be doing jobs for my mum, working with my dad, etc. Although I have asked her to mention to her friends that I'm up for even doing manual labour/dog walking... Desperate times call for desperate measures! (I have just put £798 towards the girls holiday for me and sharon... £200 for spending money in Greece and £630 for that holiday.......... phew).
