Today was quite fantastic.

I got up at 7h30 and read one of my German textbooks for a while. At 10h I left the house in my yellow dress from Italy and got the bus to Amy’s house. She cooked us a gorgeous chicken salad for lunch and we had a bottle of rosé. It was great to see her again.

Later on we watched Amélie because we both love that film so so much. It might be one of my favourite films ever.

Then we had afternoon tea and biscuits and played Scrabble. She won. I couldn’t remember whether ‘tower’ was a word or not, because I was thinking ‘tower’ as in someone who tows.

Later on we ate pizza and salad and then strawberries and apricots with cream and I felt so full. We had some more tea. Tea is growing on me. I still prefer coffee, and green tea. Well, any Chinese tea (except the weird new stuff my parents got which has ginger in it). But English tea is growing on me. Slowly.

Then I came home, and tomorrow I’m going into college.

Last weekend it was Amy’s birthday, and seen as I had yet to go and visit her at university, she invited me to go up and stay with her. So I booked some train tickets to Durham (tis nice and cheap and fast) and yay, I was going to see dear Amy again!

Despite getting progressively more ill through the weekend, I had such an amazing time. It was great to just see Amy again, I miss her so much! We write to each other all the time though, so much nicer getting a hand-written letter through the post than a ‘you have 1 new notification’ on Facebook

Anyway… I’ll try to keep this short and not too boring.

Today Amy and I went shopping to Leeds, maybe catch the end of the sales and just a general catch-up since we don’t see each other that often anymore. And and and. I bought myself a dress! It’s little and black and pretty and it looks SO good. I never ever usually buy dresses, but I wanted something smart for Bob’s graduation ceremony next week, and I found this in the shops.

I’m not going to post a picture (yet) cos I can’t show what it looks like, going to be a surprise next week for Bob and all But ooh I love it. It fits so perfectly and I think it looks great. I tried it on again when I got home to double make sure it’s okay (I always do this with clothes) and it’s just so comfortable and pretty I could wear it all day every day. I wish.

I just tried it on again. God I love it. Maybe I should start wearing dresses more? Comfy dress! I’m not doing anything fancy for New Years, going out briefly to a friend-of-the-family’s house, then coming back before midnight, but I feel like dressing up in the dress when I get back home, so I can start the New Year in STYLE.

Hmm.
