...waited so long for summer

this past week, i have been clearing out my jumpers and woolly tights, making space for summer shorts and light blouses, thanking the sun for making an appearance. with temperatures in the 20s, my friends and i all knew that this weather could not be wasted, as a rare occasion it was, considering we live in England. so the day started with some-what a tiring start at the gym, making sure that the chocolate we would consume afterwards would be guilt-free. what i personally admire at the gym is the TV's attached to the equipment, i mean, the gym was invented too make our generation less lazy and healthier, and somehow they have mixed what made us so inactive blended with this century's exercise. after this some what healthy start, we made our way to the park to eat our way back to the gym, with bagels, waffles, chocolate and the occasional apple, it certainly lifted our moods. next we wondered around aimlessly, trying hard to take urban pictures, climbing a thousand flight of stairs to reach the top of a car park where we have the nicest view on our town, possible. things got thrilling when we decided to take a daring picture by the edge of the wall, with the whole of about 10 meters (i'm guessing, i actually have no idea but it definitely felt that high) underneath of us, trying so hard not to fall we certainly did something different and surprising amusing. once we bought our milkshakes, we had the brilliant idea to walk alongside the river, feeding the ducks and trying ever so hard to skim pebbles, miserably. 

overall, the day definitely involved burning calories but also laughter and some moments of fear.

never too old for a milkshake or two...

 With it being our friend’s birthday, we all went to an-all-American restaurant, Gourmet Burger. Apart from the fact that the chips didn't come with the burger, we had a lovely night. generally being an annoyance to the rest of the restaurant, forever wanting more Oreo milkshakes and erupting in laughter every so often. everyone got dressed up, the little black dress made its appearance along with skirts and heels, it was all very exacting, spending 5 days out of 7 in the same school uniform, it was nice to see everyone’s different styles. once we all remembered who ordered which burger, we piled on the sauces and shared out the over-priced chips. the restaurant, literally took us back into time, with little pots of metal containing the salt and pepper, surrounded by brick walls and wooden tables, personally loving the vintage feel. then the candles got blown out and the laughter softened, we made our way up the great British high street.

we were rather excited by the salted peanuts

and for once, the sun is shining in england!

hello there! today, it was sunday and we all know that sundays mean lazy days spent doing mainly nothing. however, for a change this sunday we had a day filled with things to do. we spent the morning sat in our cafe (it's not actually our cafe, but nobody else knows about it, so it is ours for now!) vicky had tea and a cupcake, as seen below and i had a hot chocolate - as per usual. we were accompanied by our friend amy, who likes to use the word potato regularly, not that that is important. we spent a while slouched in our area of the cafe where we talked and generally disturbed the rest of the cafe. we then popped down to boots where i got my third roll of film developed, which was exciting for me because i love finally being able to see what i've been cautiously snapping. After that we decided to head down to a beautiful, yet mildly underrated area of our small town to take some pictures for mine and amy's photography homework. we took quite a lot and once again we made too much noise and ran across grass labeled with 'keep off the grass' - quite rebellious, i must admit haha! Below are some of our pictures. after that we decided to walk back to amy's house to watch 'abduction' a film with taylor lautner (oh my) and lily collins (why must she be so beautiful?). on our way back we stopped at the huge park in our town and had a bit of a picnic for lunch, which was lovely considering the sun rarely shines in england, so we have to grab any opportunity that we can to go outside. 

that was pretty much a summary of our day, here are some pictures:

lazy saturdays and a sprinkle of snow...

So, half term is finally here and we are grasping it with open arms. With vicky on her way to france and another close friend already in the sunny canary islands. We felt that in order to celebrate the well deserved week off that we have, we should have a bit of a lazy day (kimiya, vicky and also mia). We made a plan to buy an unhealthy amount of food and sit down and watch 'one day' a film that vicky and i have been awaiting since we both read the absolutely beautiful book (vicky and i both read the book at the exact same time and would spend hours talking about every detail). we decided to rent it from itunes, but of course, knowing our luck, the sound didn't seem to work... we ended up watching only a bit of the movie and entertained ourselves with other things. we went on a walk in the freezing cold and  even managed to buy the new company magazine (a personal favourite of ours), zooey deschanel is in this issue, and she is beautiful! we also took lot's of embarrassing photo's. Nevertheless we had a lovely day!
