Gale Force Winds with a Chance of Burritos

Good Saturday evening world...or should I say a very early good morning to Sunday? I think my luck might be starting to turn (I could just jinx it though...) but I've enjoyed myself once again. 
Watermelon Bubblegum (which I am hopeless at blowing)
Pulled another 500 or so words out of the hat for my creative writing essay today, both before and after a short trip out to show Alicia the Barbican and Hoe. The weather was disagreeable (chilly gales that stop you in your tracks, spitting rain, the standard coastal British weather for this time of year) but that never stopped an adventurer! That is until hunger strikes. I quickly ferreted out the Mexican Bar Burritos which was a beautifully authentic little restaurant, and we were soon chatting music and sushi over our chicken burritos and nachos. Did we end our day there? Not yet. Not when the prospect of chocolate presents itself. Returning to the high street, we sought out Tescos to get advent calendars (2 for £3 on Maltesers calendar!) and the retro sweet shop Fizzy Lips for honeycomb, birthday cake M&Ms, and various 10p candies.
Something I discovered in trying these M&Ms, though, is how they don't taste all that different from regular M&Ms except for the hint of extra creamy sugaryness like cake frosting (which seemed to put some many people off whenever I saw them eaten on these Taste Test Youtube videos). So in the spirit of said videos: 9/10.
But like every good day out, it has to end, and Alicia and I had to return to our respective homes (with the promise to get sushi next time) and continue work on our essays. By 7pm, I was done for the day, and ready to cook up a snack before the Live Social event (linked here). I won't explain anything more, just read. And have a good night xx
