I must apologise, it's been a little while again, but I have been busy so at least I have something to say this time. Wednesday was my day out in London with my boyfriend Jackson and my best friend Eloise. Being the sophisticated chap that he [likes to think he] is - and given that we were in the London borough of Chelsea at the time - we ended up having brunch in The Ivy (of all places)! It was a very tasty and Instagram-worthy spread we had with colourful mocktails and open sandwiches, before launching into a jaunt around the expensive neighbourhoods and parks for some photography. I hope to upload the pictures to my Facebook in the next few days so watch that space if you know me. Around 4pm, we eventually returned to my boyfriend's house to play video games, eat junk food and have a laugh until it got late and we needed to get to our respective homes.
Yesterday was more chilled, helping my dad tidy the garage (as you know we've been doing sporadically these last few weeks) and making a very delicious Jamie Oliver dish: Green Tea Salmon (which you can check out on this link: http://hotcooking.co.uk/recipes/70/jamie-oliver-15-minute-meals-green-tea-salmon) I did, of course, make a slight change in that I didn't have all the necessary ingredients and ended up substituting the coriander sauce in this recipe with a standard coconut milk-based curry sauce. Still tasted - and looked - fabulous (which made me sad, when I was doing the dishes, that I hadn't snapped a quick photo for Instagram).
But anyway, that leads me on to today, and my hair cut. It has been a good while since I last had my hair professionally cut - around May 2016 I believe - so it was both a treat and a nightmare to go back. A treat because who doesn't love it when you get to sit back and have someone massage conditioner into your head? A nightmare because I wasn't particularly good at describing what I wanted to have done, and only the picture of the model whose hair vaguely resembled what I wanted seemed to save me so much fuss. As my stylist was snipping away, I became less and less certain that the asymmetric crop look I had hinted at was what I wanted. Only when the hairdryer was brought to bear on my remarkably straight hair, along with some layering, feathering, straightening, and wax, could I finally see just how much of a miracle worker my new stylist was. Sweeping around from the middle of my right ear to level with my chin on the left, this was a look both experimental and familiar to me. I loved it! Just as I loved my Fino Pitta at the Nandos my dad treated me to afterwards.
So yeah, it's been a good couple of days, my mood hasn't been too bad, and now all I need to do is decide how to form my outfit for graduation a week today and try not to panic.
