Monday Mornings Come and Go

Monday Mornings. Oh Joy. Mine started out with a run, and then a trip into town to sign lots of paperwork for our flat! We move on Thursday and it's soo exciting!! We can't wait :).  But this is how I spent my Sunday evening after work, I love watching the first half about her as a person and more importantly as a business woman. It's so nice to see that side, and to see the normal her that isn't just a superstar.

It's Monday!

Today I woke up and felt awful. I've taken the whole weekend off to try and recover from my lovely and so fun viral infection, and it's not budging. So I'm taking today off too to prepare myself for the busy couple of weeks ahead! I have another whole project to complete this week at uni (hoping to do it in three days!) plus my mum arrives from Canada tomorrow night!

So today I am all thoughts about this project and my upcoming assessment. I'm spending 3 days focusing on colours and shapes, and when I saw this it seemed perfect. I just have no idea how to incorporate the idea into my project. We will see!

Thanks miss James for the inspiration! I just love the melting of colours together, so like watercolour, and yet bolder, brighter and more fantastic!

Oh My It's Monday again!

This weekend snuck up on me in a drowsy state like no other weekend has. Yep you heard it- I'm still ill. I have had a cold since I returned from Berlin nearly a month ago, and it has slowly gotten better to only get worse again. Luckily I think I'm nearly through with it (looking forward to doing some exercise next week!!) but I did spend the weekend in bed drinking myself into a drowsy stupor with cough syrup. That stuff hits me so hard I can even feel it in my arms. I know weird huh.

Anyway, for this morning I will leave you with these beautiful photographs from Jasper James.

A time of crap

Well, lets just say that last week was crappy. Well and truly crappy. It started off the week before last really, and then got gradually worse. And worse. Everything broke. Twice. Including myself. And that is not even a joke or an exaggeration.

Here is a run down;

So the friday before last my car broke down, had it fixed by Monday. Petrol cap refused to open by that evening however. Felt well enough to go back to exercising on Tuesday (after my cold) so went to netball. Woke up Wednesday feeling like death. True death. Went into uni and dropped my phone onto a concrete floor. So this happened.

Friday morning went to drive into town to get it fixed and my car broke down again. Got a lift into town and got phone fixed. Naturally phone was not fixed and had to take it back so they could restore it to it's broken glory and give me a refund. Went to take car to garage and made it 100m down the road. So obviously had to wait for a tow. My car seems to love to wait until Friday as well so that any necessary parts have to be ordered over the weekend resulting in at least 3 days with no car. So am now even more ill than before, with a car even more broken than before and a phone that cannot be fixed (just yet). Perfect. Anddd it's monday! woop woop! Here's to hoping that this week goes a little bit better than the last!

It's Monday! (Again)

Oh it's Monday again! I feel like I'm dragging my feet a lot at the moment- taking time off has been a really bad idea to be honest. A month off at Christmas, followed by Berlin and a week of illness has totaled in 6 weeks in chilling out. Plus with the mr having two weeks off from work he has been a huge distraction to me; it's much more fun to hang out with him than do a project I don't really care about all that much...!

Anyway, it's monday, and so there is work to be done, tons of work to be done, friends to catch up with, a cold to get over and an essay to write! Eeek! Anyway, I'm gonna crack on and come back later :) Good luck with your week, wherever you are, hopefully it will be less stressful than mine!

It's Monday!

Good morning lovely folk. Well afternoon by now I guess. Hope your morning isn't feeling to grey. Today I am glad to be at uni, with a routine again! All of my housemates returned last night, plus our new boy, we now have 6 of us under one roof! eek!

Anyway, coming up this week are the usual rounds of Friday Fun and My Week in Photos, plus some Art Inspiration and more of the normal Journal Writings (that you may feel free to ignore! They are a requirement of my course... to ramble on and on about my work. Self evaluation they call it.) Plus I will also be chatting about the progress I am making with weight loss and the foods and exercises I have been doing to get there! Enjoy your Monday :)
