Barbecues & Uni Revisited!

This week has been another good one, I was feeling energised after my 10km run on Sunday so started the week on a high, and kept up my exercise regime all week which is a bonus!

It was mainly the weekend where I socialised, but I had a nice day on Thursday catching up with the girls over a drink at the Moss Trooper - the weather this week has been stunning, so I've been catching the rays and chilling out in between work. I also went shopping in Altrincham during the day and got a lovely royal blue maxi skirt and a sort of tie-dye dress that's cream, pink and blue, I just need a summery occasion to wear it for now!

On Friday I had my nails done a bright fuscia colour to keep me in the summer mood, and we had a barbecue at Emily and Smeeds in the evening, my first of the year! Afterwards we went into Manchester to Deansgate Locks, where we intended on having a couple... Then got in at 2am. Whoops.

On Saturday it was the Ashley Rose Queen festival near where I work, so the pub was absolute chaos! It is an annual thing where they have little village stalls (tombolas, a best cake stall, coconut shy etc) and a parade where the 'Rose Queen' is crowned, and the weather meant loads of people were milling around. I was so busy I ended up finishing half an hour late, but at least the tips were good.

After work I drove to Lancaster for a night out, which was fun and messy as always. It was pretty quiet in town as lots of students are still doing exams, but we still had a great time!

I drove home in the afternoon today after sunbathing all morning, and went to Sam's for another barbecue, wearing my new blue skirt! He had been preparing stuff all day and you could tell; 4 flavours of foccacia bread (sundried tomato and mozzarella was my fave), chilli and lime Tuna steak, sticky honey ribs, yoghurt and mint lamb chops and tandoori chicken all made from scratch with some gorgeous salads that were very unusual - papaya, chilli and red onion being the most!

So all in all I had a very pleasant weekend, seeing lots of different people, eating yummy food and soaking up the sun - I wish the weather was like this all the time!
