Day 2

James was at work this day, and i had the Sunday to myself.
There was no way in hell i was going on the tube by myself, i didnt even understand how to do it. Have you seen a tube map? What. The. Fuck.

So i sort of hung around in James's kitchen feeling awkward and somewhat defeated.
I was just thinking about how London definitely wasnt for me, and maybe i really did hate big cities. But atleast id given it ago. Then Tim popped in the kitchen, one of James's house mates and said hey. I got chatting to him and it turns out the flat and next door were going for an explore and said i could join them. I thought, fuck it! Im only here until tomorrow!
So off i went with Johnny, Rosie, Sam and Tim, people id known less that 24 hours, to explore London. Bold move.

Sam helped me top up my oyster card as i still didnt quite understand what was going on and what i had to beep, then we were on our way to Green Park!

It was bad ass. I could cope with parks, ive seen them before ya know? I stuck very close to Tim and Johnny, pretty much walking in their exact footprints. The weather was great and the deckchairs were cool. I kinda wanted to sit on one but everyone was on a mission... I have sat in a deckchair before.
We walked SO far that day. We went past Buckingham Palace - which i called the "queens house" much to one of James's friends amusement. Nerves get the better of my brain. We had a look at Hyde park, pretty good, and there were peddle boats!
I never did get a chance to go on them before winter came... just you wait til summer.
Then we made it to the science museum, which was so cool. We only managed to cover a 3rd of it but my favourite bit was on murder/serial killers and the brain by far. The altizmers section was pretty cool too but too close to my heart to "enjoy". Rosie and I, blitzed the "years" section and that was pretty freaking cool too, about how the years evolved with house hold items, technology and "in things"... okay guys I just love the science museum.
I didn't take any photos that day, in fear of looking like a tourist, something Johnny is very much against. But i found some pictures just to show you what i saw.

What to do when you feel like sh*t.

Funnily enough, I wasn't able to write this post whilst I was actually feeling like poop. I was waking up with the classic chest crushing that comes with being depressed. A depressed almost 25 year old who is flunking uni because of it and doesn't know what she's doing. Classic. Although in this day and age, we don't need to have to have it all together until we're like 35 now right? 25 is the new 17 and I am mostly okay with it. During this week, I sought out my classic "low comforts" with some surprising new additions. I figured there was a post in it and maybe it will help someone else. Smoking Controversial riiiiiight? For the most part, I am a non smoker but when the black dog is in town it actually really helps. Don't go and do it if you don't, for the love of lungs! But if you do, make yourself a cup of tea, a custard cream and appreciate the nicotine. Shower Obvious maybe but obviously lush. Routine is a good thing to try and

When in Rome

Image
We woke up and it was Rome day! The day we had been waiting for, for a whole month. Torture right? We had only just packed after spending the night in the pub with Doug and Harry and had a frantic last check for the passports. We got an uber to stansted, where we arrived 3 hours early with plenty of time to kill. I felt a bit ropey so cained various drugs of the legal and pain killing variety and went to spoons for a few drinks. Classic. Our flight got delayed for an hour, which saw a few cheeky g n t's consumed in the queue and then we were well on our way. The flight was painless and infact I am really starting to enjoy flying aside from the whole giant metal, heavy tube in sky thing. I did however, need a wee and went to the very front instead of the back of the plane. I decided instead of doing the walk of shame back to my designated toilet, just to wait it out and managed to get trapped whilst the air hostesses worked their way up the isle offering a range of beverages and re

I can't cook #2 - Herby tomato and cheddar pasta bake.

Image
I was in the mood for some hearty food after a weekend of naughty nibbling. I was surprised to see i had not gained but lost weight over my weekend break (even with all the cocktails) which inspired me to ignore the microwave and get stuck in. Some amount of pasta (I used a lot, that is a measurement) 1 can of co-op chopped tomatoes with oregano and garlic 2 heaped table spoons of tomato puree 30g of Half fat mature cheddar A sprinkle of parmesan, going to guess about 10g Quarter of a white onion I cooked the pasta in salted boiling water until it was aldente then drained and added chopped tomatoes. I fried some onions with the 1 cal light spray as i had left my coconut oil somewhere. Added the onions, puree and smooshed it all around then put it in a baking dish I lay some sliced cheese on the top and sprinkled the parmesan over it for crispiness. In the oven for 20 minutes on about 190. Add salt and pepper to taste after! I don't know how many syns are in this,
