Sunny Walks, Steaks & A Carvery!

This week started in Majorca, but sadly we had to return to reality on Tuesday. Wednesday was fun though, as Mo had a half day so we went to Styal Mill (see previous post). On Thursday I bought a private numberplate as a treat to myself since I'm now moving into my flat two months late (equals two months of mortgage money to spend!). In the evening Mo came round to stay and we had meatballs which were tasty.

On Friday I was pretty bored, and then got invited to Wythenshawe Park in the afternoon with Ellie, Dom and others. We lounged around and had a little picnic, listening to music and chatting which was nice, and then we went home at around 6pm. Mo came in the evening and we sat in the garden until pretty late and had a few drinks.

On Saturday we decided to go on a little trip to Alderley Edge. We took my amazing rucksack which has a full picnic set inside and a coolbag section, and after a little walk we had cheese twists, brie, blackberries, custard tarts, crisps and tapas herb skewers, and then stopped for a glass of wine at The Wizard Of Edge, the pub just next to the car park. In the evening we bought some gorgeous steaks and had them, then watched the third Harry Potter as Mo has never seen them!

Today after I had to collect my sister from the airport at 6am, we lounged around all day, watched the fourth Harry Potter then went to The Hare and Hounds for a carvery for tea. It is a bit more expensive on a Sunday, but still only £6.79 and the portions are massive. We each had a dessert as well, I went for the chocolate brownie pudding with ice cream, and after that I was so full!

We have just finished watching Get Him To The Greek, which was surprisingly good, and now I am off to the airport again to pick up my parents, taxi service!

Drinks, Drinks & Drinks!

This week has been really fun, mainly due to more of my friends being around to do things (home from uni etc) and of course, having the week off work. I tried to make the most of having holiday despite the fact that I have missed out on my vacation to Turkey, and it seems to have worked, as I've been busy basically every day!

On Monday I worked at the pub, and met the new landlord, who seems nice. On Tuesday I went to the gym, and then in the evening I went out for a few drinks with Hana, Charlotte and Tasha. We went to Altrincham, to a place called High Society for some cocktails, and then the new Bloom bar that has relocated to a bigger venue from Goose Green. I had originally planned to drive home, but after a cocktail that was really good, I decided to leave my car behind, and ran to collect it in the morning! 

The rest of that day I didn't do a great deal, and then in the evening I went to see my friend Michael from Lancaster who is currently living in Manchester. On Thursday I did a few boring jobs like cleaning my room, and then had my eyebrows tinted - they were a little dark but looked fine as I still have my tan! The following day I went for a run and a swim and then went for a drink with my mum at the Hare and Hounds, a pub near my house. It was a sunny day so we walked which was really pleasant. The I went to York with a couple of my friends for the night (see next post).

Last night I went out in Manchester with Hana and Tasha. We went to The Yacht Club in Spinningfields, which I had never been to before but was really cool - it is all outside, and the good weather made it feel as though we were abroad! Tasha didn't feel very well so went home, but Hana and I stayed out and went for cocktails at Alchemist, and then ended the night in Fac251. It was so sweaty in there, I was basically sober by the time I got home from drinking so much water!

Today I attempted to go for a bike ride with my mum, but after about five minutes it started hammering down with rain, and then my bike chain snapped, I think it was nature's way of telling me that it was not a good idea! So instead we went home and watched some television whilst eating our picnic inside!
