The weather has been, surprisingly, too lovely to sit inside and type... (semi-true)
My computer broke (by broken I mean I haven't switched it on)
I have been super busy working on my dissertation (Okay, even I laughed out loud at that one!)
I have been just too darn lazy!
So, since school is over and long, dull days trapped in a library are ahead of me, it feels like the right time to say sorry for being a pathetic blogger and to jump right back in!
Looking through the pictures on my camera I've realised how much has happened since I went on my little four month break that I could have shared here. So you lucky people get to have four months of posts in one go! Ready? Set, GO!
March
My birthday month! The Friday before The Big Day (it is always TBD in my mind anyway) my best friends joined me for an evening of cocktails, thank you girlies!
 |
| Yes, these are regular and appropriate cocktail sizes. |
The next night Morgan and I had the pleasure of partying at Stella and Chris' wedding reception!!! As it was the night before my birthday that gave me heavy drinking rights and therefore a LOT of stupid photo booth photos.
Yes I was very drunk, but I'm pretty sure that for about half of these photos it was technically my birthday so I can be excused this once right?
April
April started well for me. For the first time in living memory I won a game of Monopoly. This might seem like a big deal, definitely not blog-worthy, yet for me it was one of my greatest moments of triumph!
Thing progressed well in the real world too. We (I) decided to swap bedrooms as although the front room is smaller, I liked the light better in there. We also bought a wardrobe and curtains and with the help of Mum and Bro our new bedroom looked like this...
 |
| Eye-spy with my little eye, new curtains! |
 |
| New(ish) wardrobe, hurrah for hanging clothes! |
 |
Contrary to popular belief, I also spent a fair amount of time here...
Which is still pretty for a library, but still dreadfully dull. Roll on August 23rd...!
Lucky I have such an amazing boyfriend who knew exactly what would cheer me up... tickets to the Harry Potter Studios Tour!!!!
 |
| Newest Hogwarts student, at the Griffindor table of course! |
Thank you Morgan!
And best of all, I actually managed to persuade my brother to dress up at St George and come into school on St George's day as our topic this term was Knights and Castles.
 |
| Doesn't he look dashing! |
 |
| They look just like him! |
 |
| My favourite picture! |
Thank you David. Next term it's all about space if you don't mind dressing up as The Man on The Moon...?
May
May Madness- I finally started to tackle the garden! As big and beautiful as it is, there were a lot of weeds! Mr Moggs got onto the mowing and I chose the smallest place to start. Well, it is a start...
 |
| Before/After/Morgan-at-work/The Rest of The Garden |
Even better that a freshly mown garden was a trip to Brighton to see.... McFly!!!
Followed of course by chip on Brighton Beach!
And to finish May Madness was the celebration of my most mad friend Sam on the day of her birth!
 |
| The lovely GGs! |
 |
| Do you need any more proof? |
Happy Birthday Snoony!
June
Things quietened down in June. The most exciting thing to happen this month (according to my phone as my memory is useless!) is that my apple tree grew an apple!
 |
| Who saw that one coming?!?!" |
And that was June.... *tumbleweeds*
July
Now I know everyone thinks the end of term, and the end of the school year in particular, is a doddle and teacher just let children play but I am here to declare it otherwise! End of terms are always the busiest times of the year and to make it more relaxed stressful the children are also feeling tired, grumpy and ratty and find new ways to push teacher's buttons after a wonderful year together. Maybe it's to help with the separation? Either way, July is normally pants.
However, it was thanks to the brilliant Miss Blackwell that July was no longer the month of pants, it was the month of luuuuurve as at the very last minute she got me a ticket to see.. Michael Bublé!!!
Yes ladies, I can confirm I have been in the presence of the man who can make every girl swoon, and he was just as amazing as you would hope him to be, even from our seats at the O2 which were approximately 2.3 miles away. But hey, I was in the same room as him!
And that pretty much wraps up my past 5 months! Stay tuned for more adventures in Brighton, Housewarming take 2 (outdoor version) and a mystery holiday!
