1. Going out for a Thai meal with my friend to a restaurant I hadn’t been to before.
2. After our meal we went to see Ted at the cinema. It was so funny, but also very rude and very close to being offensive! But it’s hard to be offended when it’s a cute little bear!
3. Saw a nice picture of someone with purple nails, so I painted my nails purple. Simple as that! This is Marshmallow Heaven by Rimmel.
4. I ordered some books on Japan, getting my research on for my big trip in 90 and a bit days (I have a countdown timer)! I got the Rough Guide to Japan, a Japanese phrasebook and Japanese In 30 Days.
5. I love Paperchase cards! I go there for most of my cards, just cos they have such great designs and they’re not expensive. Luckily my great-auntie and friend’s birthdays have passed, so I can show you these!
6. And I had to buy this card for me, just cos it makes me laugh!
7. My Dad appeared with a happy pear, left it on the mantelpiece, so I got a Sharpie and gave it another eye. It’s even happier now!
8. Went on the hunt for a gold post box yesterday and here it is! Royal Mail are painting post boxes for every gold medal winner from Team GB at the Olympics and this one’s for Katherine Grainger, gold medal winner for women’s double sculls rowing. There’s a handy website to see if there are any near you.
9. Our cinema trip this week was to see Brave. I didn’t know what to expect because I didn’t really know what the story would be, but it was good! I won’t spoil it for you though, you’ll have to go and see it for yourself! There’s an animated short beforehand called “La Luna” which was really sweet and lovely!
