It is HOT today in London, well compared to recently. It really threw me out on my morning run. I was aiming to do 9 miles but ended up coming back early and doing 7. I was exhausted by mile 3!
The rest of the day was chilled out with a lot of reading. I’m loving Purple Hibiscus right now. I bought it after listening to the Ted Talk “The danger of a single story” which was spoken by the author. I highly recommend the book and the Ted Talk!
Nic and I went on a lush 11 mile cycle this morning around our local area, where we discovered “Bovril Castle” according to the blue plaque! We picked up fancy pesto and some local fruit and veg along the way too which was nice. What a quaint Saturday… followed by a cheeky Papa John’s, whoops!
Our boiler was fitted today! All the work is now complete and I’m super happy. It was really quick and the British Gas guys were all great. I’m a happy bunny and now secretly looking forward to winter…
The British Gas guys came today to replace our boiler. They got a load done in one day and are sure to finish it off tomorrow which is exciting. We’re getting smart heating! Bring on winter! (Only kidding)
Nic and I had a doughnut decorating date night tonight! It was really fun and incredibly delicious. I have no idea how I’ll sleep tonight with so much sugar in my system though…
Back to work today! We had a fun, online social quiz about us all in the evening. After that Nic and I carried on with our puzzle progress. Turns out this one isn’t slowing us down as much as we thought. It feels like we’re nearing the end and we’re only day two! I’m really enjoying having Nic along for the ride though on this one.
I took the day off work today to reset. I started off with a 10k run, then a bubble bath followed by a chilled out day around the house with homemade pizza and the beginning of a new puzzle! I’m feeling a lot better and highly recommend taking a day out.
Nic and I walked 8 miles today around South London, with beers in tow! It was a really lovely day just nattering away for a few hours.
Starting my cheeky three day weekend off right with a couple of pastries. It was very much a lazy day today with not much going on. In the evening though we had a lush online catch up with our friends with some games which was super fun!
I ordered extra large avocados without realising they would about half the size of my head… So today was an emergency avocado toast for lunch! It was a delicious mistake to make, and one I plan on possibly making again…
