Thug* Life

Ola! I'm sitting in the kitchen with Marthe and Sarah. To give you a visual/audio guide, Marthe is next to me watching a YouTube video on how to speak with a Scottish accent, and we are making our way through Sarah's pile of too-ripe bananas. We're planning our trips, Sarah and I have dollar signs in our eyes discussing the OS-Help loan we may get next year, I've got my favourite website Skyscanner up, and I'm looking up flights to Porto, Morocco, Berlin and maybe, just maybe, a bit of Holland! I've got piles of lists at the moments searching the best times to go, and why, and how long for, and how much it will cost and blaaaah. Over planning is what I do best. Most of my travels will be solo this year though, which is very exciting! Whenever we met someone who was travelling solo during my trip earlier this year they always had more pro's than con's for going alone. I guess I'll soon find out.

ANYWAY

Back to reality:

I had a really lovely weekend, it involved:

• A trip to Camden to get a blondie from Cookies and Scream to celebrate my sisters birthday. SO DELICIOUS!



• A trip to Waterstones just because. Six floors of books, I spent about 2 and a half hours there. Just browsing with Liz. I mean yeah it was a Saturday night, but whatever.


• Worked. Lots. Gotta pay those bills.

• On Friday night we went to the Christmas Markets at Southbank, and had a look at the World Press Photo 2012 exhibition at the Southbank Centre. The exhibition was really great, most of the photos were of sad situations, some included the shark fin trade and the rhino horn trade, but all of the photos were amazing, the best were those that managed to be beautiful while being horrible at the same time.

Friends! Sarah, Marthe, Me and Liz

Getting a tour of the house I've lived in my whole life on Skype, jealous of the sun!

??????? so many options

Waterstones. Or Wizard. Both are good

Just one of the books I really really wanted

I'll try and do some more exciting things to make the blog a bit better! I do have a really long to-do list that includes seeing the ballet, more skating, and various museum exhibitions. The next few months are quite full of plans and Christmas parties and travelling, so hold tight.

This is a nice tune to bob your head to, and has a good message too.
