Life Lately

I seem to go long periods of time without buying clothes and then suddenly I'll get the bug for it and spend loads, on either a few pieces or one expensive one. This is a case of spending a lot on one blouse but for goodness sake it's a work of art! Look!

I think I mentioned a while ago that I've taken a slight change of direction in terms of my job. I decided to move up and become a store supervisor. This means I've moved from the store I was at to a new one as it's best to train with people who don't know you. However someone at this store does know me, my old colleague and drummer Ben! We used to work at the same store a few years ago before he got moved on (they move you a lot). Woo work is fun again! Ps we don't actually wear baseball caps at work!!

You may or may not have heard of London Road in Sheffield. If you haven't, gather round and let me tell you a tale... It's a magical place which consists of what must be one restaurant from every country in the world. Above all else though, it's home to about four different dessert cafes. DESSERT CAFES. I recently went to one in particular, La Creme, with Ellie and Rabia and just oh my God. I had Ferrero Roche waffles for Christ's sake!

Me and Beth playing muuusic! We recently discovered there's already a band called Marble Orchard so we're currently racking our brains for something new. No luck yet haha. In other news though, we will be performing at Leicester Town hall on June 18th in support of Refugee week. Come on down if you're in the area!

Our friend Sion randomly turned up at our house the other week with a plank of wood and some bricks and fashioned a little bench for us outside our front door. It's lovely and it gets so much sun, so much so that I got sunburned legs from sitting out. Damn.

This is a photo I stole from Ben's Instagram of him at work for no other reason than he's just so cute in his baker outfit!

When you're listening to Knocky and Knocky texts you. #1 fan yo!

We were informed by our mate Nikki that there was a sheep carcass out in the Peaks with a perfectly intact skull with massive horns so we went out on a bone collecting expedition last weekend. Unfortunately though, someone had got there before us :/ Nevermind there's bound to be more sooner or later, these sheep can't live forever!

Also, still swooning over beardy Ben...

Life Lately: October '15

Wow, crikey it's been a while! Kind of dropped off the radar a bit there didn't I?! I realise there have been a fair few Project 365's that I've missed since being back from our holiday and instead of trying to back date them all I'm going to bundle them into a 'Life Lately' post - I've not done one of these since just before moving into our first flat!

We had a charity bike ride at work (something I had to recruit everyone for as the 'Great Place To Work' rep) and well only me, Nia and the manager from our store actually did it so that shows how persuasive I am. Oh well, there were loads more from other stores doing it and it ended up being a really fun ride. I could get into it.

I've been busy knitting socks and putting them in my Etsy shop. Even though it's October it's actually been quite warm recently but we're still definitely in knit season! Here are a few of them from Schooner House. Check them out, I'd love to hear what you think.

  

We had a Macmillan coffee morning at work the other week and it was glorious. It was only for us colleagues rather than for customers too so there was loads of cake for days!

The whole family was invited round to my brother's house recently for what ended up being one hell of a family day as you can see! These are all my brothers and cousins and their wives and kids.

Look what a kind person from our neighbourhood was giving away! We had to recruit some friends to help us move it, one woman with a van and after taking two doors completely out of their frames we finally got it in. It's a bit out of tune but hell, it sounds good to me. I've actually been writing a lot lately and have so far conjured up two songs that I'm actually really happy with. I think I'm gonna go and record them when they're ready. 

That's pretty much all I can remember of what's happened since we've been back from Italy. If you didn't see our holiday photo's they're here and here. Other than that we've both just been working. I'm currently the baker as our permanent baker is off having reconstructive knee surgery and to be honest I'd rather be him than have to deal with ravenous students during a bloody cookie promotion! It's chaos trying to keep up!
