What I've been up to this week #10

We finished last week by going to the book shop in town and I grabbed a couple of books and I needed advice about my film camera so we also popped into the photography shop.

On Tuesday, my French family came to visit us in Dunkirk so we went for a walk at the beach. The weather was quite nice, it wasn't too cold or too windy. We walked on the other end of the beach which we don't usually go to but they have really pretty houses down the other end so it was nice to see them again. We ended the day by going to the bar for a drink all together

On Wednesday, we started the day by going to the cemetery to visit my dad's grave. I bought him these really pretty flowers and my family also bought him flowers so the grave was covered in plants which was nice.

Then to cheer ourselves, up we went to the Chinese all you can eat buffet. It was lovely to catch up with my godmother and my cousin because the last time I saw them was just after died so 8 years ago.

We then spent the afternoon wandering around town and ended up in a café / bar for a drink all together again. We ended up seeing the mayor of Dunkirk while we were there because the bar owner was receiving a prize! I also found a couple of bits for my junk journal at the shop opposite the bar which was exciting. 

We finished the day by going to a baked potato restaurant even though we were still all stuffed from lunch lol. They were HUGE!!!!! And it came with a desert too! I've been there in the past but so long ago I have no memory of it but it was so nice I'm looking forward to going there again lol!

Then the most exciting part of the week crept upon us... we were on our way back to England for a week! We were meant to get the ferry but ended up getting the Euro-tunnel because of the storm!

We arrived back in Hastings just as the sunset happened

On our first full day there we decided to go to the old town and the shopping centre which was fun. The weather was lovely and we went to 3 different book shops so I bought loads of books because books in England are a third of the price of English books in France so we always stock up when we're over!!

The plan for today is to go back to town to visit all the charity shops and see what books they have!! We stumbled upon a charity shop we'd never been to last time we were over and all their books were £1 so me and mum are excited to go back there!

What I've been up to this week #9

Started the week by changing my cgm and my patch

Had multiple appointments this week so I went to Lille for the week which meant I got to see my friends and go out a lot

Went to the bar 3 times this week, once with my best friend because I hadn't seen him for a week and once with someone I'm in the process of becoming friends with (I hope!!!)

Did a bit of shopping and of course had to go to lush and sniff all the snow fairy products because it's my all time favourite scent lush have come out with 

Went to the Italian restaurant

Spot the difference! Went to my favourite coffee shop ever twice this week (they have a salted caramel iced latte that I have cold with oat milk and it's the best coffee I've ever had!!)

Ended up spending a day in Brussels which was not planned at all but I had a lot of fun. We saw the manneken pis dressed up for world food day, we of course had to have a beer and I went to waterstones to eye up the books I want to buy when we go to England next week!

Had group therapy and we made butternut squash soup (which I'd never had but it was lovely. I even made mum taste the leftovers I ended up with) and we made mushroom and chicken pasta with bits of bacon which was really nice!!

Then I got the train back to Dunkirk and met mum outside her work a couple times 

And we finished the week by going to the coffee shop before an appointment at the bank!

What I've been up to this week #8

The photos arent really in the right order of what happened each day of the week but basically this is what I've been up to this week! Went for a drink at the beach with mum because we got too good to go bags at the Chinese restaurant at the beach as well as two in two different supermarkets at the beach. I had a monaco (beer with lemonade and strawberry syrup) and mum had a coke.

Went for coffee with my friend I met at uni 2 years ago, I hadn't seen her since I went to visit her in Bulgaria this summer (she worked there for two months!) so it was lovely to catch up. We got coffee from a new coffee shop in Lille called Need Coffee and I had a salted caramel iced latte which was the best coffee I've ever had so I will definitely be going back there whenever I get the opportunity!

Went to the restaurant with my best friend and my sister. He had pesto pasta, my sister got truffle pasta and I got a truffle pizza which was lovely!

Spent Thursday afternoon at my best friend's flat and he received his new robot vacuum cleaner and named him Ken because he named his house Mojo Dojo Casa House (like in Barbie) lol it was hilarious

Every single time I go to his flat I take a picture in the mirror lol 

Went to group therapy and we made Spanish omelettes and I made apple crumble which I was chuffed about because I never usually manage to make the crumble part of apple crumble (even though its dead easy now I've realised how you're meant to do it)

Went to the bar with my best friend and ordered another monaco lol and we got this pen that the bar was giving out to everyone with the name of the bar on it lol my best friend said he'll take it to work and sign important contracts with it lol!

Quick selfie before doing something mum won't be happy about... I got a new piercing, I got my helix pierced which I was a bit scared was going to hurt but it didn't at all! I went to iottel tattoo x piercing shop in Lille because my friend owns the place so I always go there. 

Saw a cat in the street 

Went to the bar (again) with a friend and had.. yes you guessed right, another monaco 

Wore this makeup every day this week lol 

Started a new book!
