Day 95 - Food, glorious food

Last night I was out with work to celebrate one of our colleagues getting her visa to remain in the UK and hence with the company too. She's a lovely girl and has been to hell and back in a year and it was great news for us all when she got word she had her visa. So, after waiting until people were in work and not on holidays, we finally went out for a meal to celebrate. And boy did we enjoy it. It is a restaurant that does, as it says on the tin, foods of the world. I was rather pleased with myself that I managed a plate of starters, mains and desserts without going overboard as can often happen at buffets. Yum, yum yum!

Day 94 - What a change....

What a difference a couple of days make. From a full playground at the weekend to an abandoned one on Tuesday! We've had a mad turn in the weather from 18C down to 5-ish. It did make for a quiet stroll around the park with the Black beast though!

Day 93 - Dark Day

It's taken me a while to update this weeks blog pictures as it was a dark day for me on Monday. Our leopard gecko hasn't been doing too good of late with shedding and feeding and I decided to bring him to the vet on Monday. However, after hearing what was potentially wrong with him and how much weight he had lost, I decided it was kinder to ask the vet to put him to sleep rather than prolong any discomfort in trying to fight the infection he had or put him through any other suffering in trying to regain the weight. I was quite brave at the vets and in work until about lunchtime but then it hit me. I guess you don't really realise how much you care for a pet until you go through something like that. I still can't bring myself to look at his vivarium and that night even chocolate wouldn't cheer me up!

Day 92 - April Fools

A shaky picture to match the shaky photographer. Hungover from a late night meant April Fools Day has passed by in a blur today. Personally I've near really seen the point to april fools tricks but I guess each to their own and all that.

Day 91 - Empire Chicken

While watching a Jamie Oliver programme on tv, we discovered the new and fabulous alternative to a traditional roast chicken dinner. It takes a little bit of planning but the results are totally worth it. And this weekend we feasted on Empire chicken for dinner. Yum!

Day 90 - Wired for sound

I use my Ipod everyday in work and for Christmas 2010 my hubby bought me a really good set of in-ear headphones. However, they've given up the ghost and I've been using a cheap pair to get me through the day. I decided to pull my finger out on Friday and get around to ordering a new pair, and my hubby set me on a site where there was a deal on some pretty awesome headphones. I promptly ordered a pair from Living Social and am eagerly awaiting their arrival. It's the little things that make me happy!

Day 89 - Sunny Evening

A lovely sunny evening for walking the dog!
