flying high again

Today is the last day of my week off. Slightly sad at the thought of not having more days off with my boy. Monday i had to go to college and we ended up staying in for the night and chilling out. Tuesday we took a walk through the meanwood valley trail and actually had a load of fun running around the woods and we got all the way to golden acre park. This seemed like a brilliant idea but after a few hours of walking we then realised that we had to do it all over again and get home. We met ponies on the way home though. I liked the little shetland one best i wanted to take him home.

I have never seen a grown man look so scared of a horse. He did tell me this is probably the first time in his life that he has plucked up the courage to actually touch a horse.After a few more hours of exploring the woods and making friends with ducks we made it back to meanwood park and played on the swings and i forgot how brilliant slides were.

Wednesday we spent the day bowling. Day time bowling deals are the best but it does mean my arm hurts for the next few days. I lost all 6 games we played. We ate terrible bowling food but did have slush puppies that made me pull a face at how cold it made my head.

Having lost all 6 games of bowling we went to shoot giant spiders and play air hockey. I was victorious when it came to air hockey.


I took my first trip the the chinese supermarket. Oh shit that place is amazing. I spent a fortune in there. We got brilliant little tea cups, soup spoons and a ton of ace food. Fresh green tea was probably our best purchase and since buying it its possible i have consumed my own body weight in green tea. Here are a few of our purchases.

Thursday we headed into town. We took a visit to the Leeds museum which was possibly a waste of my life. Can they really call this place a museum? The photography in there looked like a child had been given a camera and when i saw a pokemon in the china cabinet that was probably the final straw. This place was surely made with 5 year olds in mind? The dead animals made me feel very uncomfortable to know they were all hunting trophies.

So to cheer myself up we went to the chinese supermarket again. This time i got vegetable dumplings (gyoza type things) edamame beans (podded and de podded) yet more cooking sauces and soups. Oh and we induldged a little too much with mountain dew and cream soda. I got some excellent chillis too. I've started adding these to the curries and i'm pretty sure Martyn is going to take off one day whilst he's flapping around eatting.

Friday was a day of relaxing. I went out with the girls for a farewell to Tassy. As we speak she will be going back to London. I can't deny I'm very jealous of her going back down south.

Yesterday we were lazy and stayed in our pj's till 7pm, we finally got up and dressed made dinner and got ready for earth hour. We spent that hour eating dinner by candle light and playing trivial pursuit (bitesize edition). We actually had loads of fun just spending time with each other without any other distractions and decided we might have to make it happen more often. The kitten did do a fur singe on a candle though. sneaky little candle sniffer.

I've had my eyes opened to how two faced and spiteful people can be this week. I'm glad i know what i know and who i can trust. It did make me feel a little lonely as i didnt have this problem at home. Luckily i have a few friends here who i can really trust and Martyn is my rock through out everything. It sounds cheesy but he really is my best friend.

Next month i get to see my southern besties. Can't wait!!!

We watched a lot of movies this week. Igor and The Women were two of the best ones we saw.
