Life Lately #38



September 1, 2014

How is it September?! Just kidding, everyone’s saying it so thought I’d chime in. But really, I’m excited for the next few months because exciting things will be happening. Lots of London trips, my best friend is coming from America to visit, a trip to Amsterdam, Momma’s coming for Christmas, and if all goes according to plan, a new house!

We found out Tuesday our mortgage went through, so now it’s just waiting on solicitors. Scary to think in around 6 weeks we will be moving into our very own first house. Grown up or what?! We’ll just pretend. For now, it’s that time of the week were I share with you what I got up to in the past week, and the crappy pictures I’ve taken on my iPhone. Some make it Instagram (where you can follow me @chicadeedee if you so desire) and others sit in my photo folder until I share them here.
The above prints I got in Wales, and are by an illustrator by the name of Megan Tucker, who you can find right here. She’s Welsh and has things in both Welsh and English. I just love the typography. Hapus means happy, and Hiraeth can’t really be translated to one word in English. It sort of means a feeling of yearning, longing, nostalgia and homesickness. Hard to describe really! {Avocado scramble // Best buddies // Bar friend // Box troll}
After not buying avocados for a while (because hello, expensive) I snapped some up that were on sale, and oh man, I don’t think I can live without them. I suppose I’ll have to start a piggy bank as an avocado fund and stick all my loose change in it. The cat’s thought they were interested in my breakfast, but that’s because they expected yogurt not scrambled eggs.
Friday night we went out in search of some live bands around Doncaster, and ended up in a pub we had never been in called the Mason’s Arms. There we sat by this Albino snake and drank the most disgusting beer I’ve ever had called Old Peculiar.
Adam got a happy meal the other day and I commandeered the toy (as you do) and put it together in the car. I haven’t even heard of these box trolls, apparently it’s a movie. I’m so out of the loop. Box Troll is our new car companion though.
Saturday night we went to a burlesque/cabaret show in Buxton, and it was so much fun! I’ll hopefully be telling you a bit more about it later. It was so nice to do something different, and totally worth the hour and a half drive through the dales to get there. It was nice getting all dressed up as well, not enough fancy occasions in our lives!
This week is shaping up to be another busy one (when will it stop?!) with possibly attempting to bleach my hair and properly dye it purple. I’ve never bleached my hair before, so this should be interesting. I’ve dyed my hair crazy colours before, but never the bleaching bit. I’m enlisting my friend Bev’s help, because the box actually states to grab a friend, crossing my fingers and toes on this one. I might have to shy away from pictures for a while if it all goes wrong!
