gotta love betty barclay
they have a sale on at john lewis. i'm assuming it started a while back as the things are double discounted now. we were passing through the shop last night as we needed to buy presents for mark's parents and we parked in the john lewis' carpark. i saw this blouse, white with little holes and little white flowers (difficult to explain, it's not flowery or anything) and it was size 12. usually they only have size 6, 8 and 18 in the sales. i tried it on. it was really really nice. it fit me perfect, it was a little loose even. goes well with my only skirt. the best thing about it is - it's betty barclay! like, i love betty barclay but i never bought anything because all her stuff is so expensive. not this time. the blouse was 9 (nine!) quid. i'm not shitting you.
i went to meet nicola at lunch time today. we went to this veggie cafe called diamond dogs (which made me remember my friend who was in raf and his name was diamond dog). i picked seasonal mixed salad from the menu and we ordered some garlic bread to share as well. do not be alarmed, the garlic bread had hardly any fat in it, it was hard and not fat at all. it was nice, i'm just saying it was not fat :) i was chuffed with my choice. but then, after we've eaten, the waiter asked if we wanted a cake. they had apple and raspberry crumble with cream. i've never had crumble in my life (i know) so i was tempted. nicola was keen too. and we had it. and it was lovely!
nicola totally loved the scrapbook thingy :) so i'm really glad because she was really happy :)
we went to paint pottery after lunch. we started with egg cups thinking it would be easy. i then painted a bowl and nicola managed to paint two tiles! she was really good at it! we painted for two and half hours and were totally exhausted in the end! my back was killing me as well. it's weird, we had to concentrate so much we weren't even talking! but it was really good. the pottery will be ready next thursday (it needs to be glazed and stuff), nicola will probably pick it up on friday. i'll put some pictures up then.
it's quite hot today and it's supposed to get hotter. i wish i could jump into a pool!
