What I've been up to this week #17

Once again the photos aren't loading in chronological order but basically here's what I've been up to this week! 

We started the weekend by going to the Gravelines Christmas market, which was a bit disappointing for us because we arrived before it opened and by the time we went round, had lunch and were ready to go home it still wasn't open so we knocked it on the head and went home!

Did a lot of reading at the library this week and talking of reading here's the books I read this week! Nocturnal is a poetry book that I loved, coming in was a queer graphic novel that I also loved. I heard a lot about le journal de samuel which is why I read it but it was a bit boring, I think I would have probably enjoyed it more if I was younger. Cult of two was very very weird. Looking back I should have given it 2 stars. Some of the poems were very good but some of them were really graphic and sexual and it was weird, cringy and uncomfortable to read. I would recommend coming in and nocturnal but would not recommend le journal de samuel or cult of two!

Made risotto (my favourite meal)

Made these these tshirts for everyone

My french grandparents sent us money for Christmas so I bought myself a new film camera which is soooo much better than my first one! I love both and will continue to use both but this one has a zoom ?!?! and I can manually turn the flash on or off

Wednesday was mum's favourite day of the year. We went to the town hall and saw father Christmas house and all the decorations they set up for it. I have to say it's very magical and it immediately puts you in the Christmas spirit. Here's some of my favourite pieces from the experience!

Here's mum and I being silly sods

Went to the Thai restaurant

Always with me!

Wrapped a lot of presents this week !! 

Next week is the last full week before we go to England to visit my grandparents for Christmas which I'm very much looking forward to!

What I've been up to this week #16

On Sunday I opened a package that my friend sent me and it was these two teddy bears, I love them!!

On Wednesday it was a very sad day. We had to put our dog down, he was very unwell and it was the best decision because he was suffering but it's still very sad. Here are my favourite pictures of the dog.

I read many many books this week, here's a recap. I LOVED make the season bright, la petite dernière and badjens. I kinda enjoyed seance tea party and happy endings. I managed to read la petite dernière in 4 hours and badjens in 2h30! My new record !!!

Saw my best friend at the bar a couple times this week because I was feeling down because of the dog. It was hard to get my mind off things but I still had a good time.

Went to Lille christmas market twice this week, once with my sister and once with my mum and my sister. We obviously had to have croziflette and sweet pretzels!!

Here's a few pictures of Lille being festive!

Had group therapy, we made raclette and bacon hamburgers with chips and salad. I arrived late because I had an appointment and they told me they were about to cancel because I was the only one who came. It was a lovely time.

Just after that I had the estate agent that came to my flat because it was time to give the keys back. It's the end of a chapter. I lived there for 3 years and 2 months!

Bought this hilarious (in my opinion) t-shirt!!! 

One of my friends made me this fingerless gloves, I love them!!! Can't wait to wear them!
