Sorry Kim K, a dress broke the internet, not you

I love this. I bloody love it.  Marc sent it to me this morning and I was like 'errrr what, I don't get it' because it's SO OBVIOUSLY A BLUE AND BLACK bodycon dress. But Liz said she saw white and gold, so I showed it so some colleagues, and they saw white and gold too, and then I thought it was one big trick and everyone goes for the option it OBVIOUSLY isn't because that's the cool thing to do. But no, they really do believe it's white and gold! How crazy is that!!! I also love that the top 10 things trending on Buzzfeed are all bloody pages on this bloody dress.  AND that 70% of buzzfeed pollers thing it's white and gold WHEN IT IS CLEARLY BLACK AND BLUE AND THE LADY WHO BOUGHT THE DRESS CONFIRMED THIS. Fascinating how the eyes work. What else have my eyes been lying to me about?! Is the grass green? Is the sky blue? What is BLUE?! (not white, that's for sure). What colour do you think it is?

Pizza on a bus

In the interests of keeping the blog up to date and keeping Lisa and Leanne satisfied, here's a mini slightly unadventurous update... Friday I met Gad after work and we went on an unintentional pub crawl.  I wanted to take him to the 'sexy bar' as I like to call it, however drinks are quite pricey so we started off in the cheaper pubs (Wetherspoons! classy bird!) before heading to the sexy bar, The Old Bengal Bar , in Liverpool St.  It's very dark, has exposed brick work, mirrored walls and red leather seats. Plus the piece de resistance - free peanuts! What more could you ask for!! After our fill of peanuts we headed to Pizza East but the queue was a crazy one hour long, so we ran for the train back to Peckham and stumbled across The Crust Conductor and the Brick Brewery .  I highly recommend both!  The Crust Conductor is an old red London bus with a pizza oven in the back and seating on the top deck - I love a gimmick and this is a great one!!! The pizzas were on t

The Best Valentine's Weekend EVER

Image
happy valentine's day! This post is dedicated to Lisa and Leanne, both of whom moaned that I hadn't updated my blog for over 2 weeks. (I am just happy they noticed!) I haven't really been up to anything too exciting, I have mainly spent my evenings doing hot yoga (so far I have discovered it isn't very fun when you need to fart and that my favourite position is upward facing dog) or swimming, and I talked enough about both of those last time.  AND I haven't kept to my resolution of more sofa nights - I am not really sure what I have been doing with my evenings to be honest. Last weekend was "V day" as I like to call it, and it was BRILLIANT.  On the Friday I went on a date. It went really well, we ate loads of chinese food, drank lots of alcohol, laughed a bucket load and I was a very happy bunny on the way home. I didn't even mind the bus was on diversion, the bus driver got lost and had to take directions from the passengers. On Saturday

Where did January go?

I can't believe it's Feb 1st already. Where did the last month go?!  I think that as I get older, time gets quicker - it's some weird physics space-time contiuum thing. (I just googled space-time contiuum and it's not that, I have no idea what that is).  It probably helped I kept myself very busy - my January weeks have consisted of: Monday - some form of exercise or Spanish homework Tuesday - Spanish lessons Wednesday - Spanish homework then swimming training Thursday - Spanish lessons Friday - some form of social event or Spanish homework or collapsing on the sofa Weekends - exercise or social events My forms of exercise have included a couple of 2.5k swims in Crystal Palace pool, lots of walking and running (the bus strike the other week led me to walk 8 miles in one day, which showed me it wasn't that hard to do, so I have been walking to and from Holborn for my Spanish lessons. I tried to run it once too but that was much harder and my legs hurt and I
