This weekend...

...has been a much needed break!

My friends talked me into going out to a party this weekend and I'm so glad they did :) It was great to get away from revision and interview prep and just have good old time. I saw some people I hadn't seen in months, met a rather cool spanish boy, drank various cola-something’s and danced an awful lot.

The next day I decided to go for a day out with my mum in Leeds; we don't often do things like this so it was nice. I'd never laughed so much in one day! On our train there a man stood up in the middle of the train and stared rummaging in his bag - next thing I know he's getting into a Scooby-doo outfit. It was so out of the blue I didn't think to take a photo :') ... if only!

But I did think to take a photo of some bizarre men’s shoes!

A rather expensive coat...

And lots and lots of jewellery

  

After one we stopped for lunch at an Italian restaurant, deciding to try something different and my mum got a carbonara (not liking spicy food) while I got Spaghetti Capellini – yum!

The waiters in store must have loved their jobs because we saw them singing as they went from table to table or dancing slyly behind the bar.  They we’re really welcoming and the service was great! As we were leaving they thanked us for the tips and said ‘Goodbye sisters’...sisters!? My mum was over the moon with this compliment and I was beside myself, but couldn’t help but laugh. I text my older sisters to let them know what had happened and they just laughed too - having ‘been there’ themselves.

After we'd finished up shopping we we're heading back to the train station when I heard a busker doing a cover of kings of leons 'use somebody'. I talked my mum into going to watch for a while but she didn't take much persuading - this guy was amazing. Eveyone else must have thought so too because his red cap was filled to the brim with coins... His voice was so deep that we listened to two songs before the rain drove us away.

 I feel de-stressed now and ready to focus on getting ready for my next interview and starting work on my final piece next week, I'll keep you updated.

Note to self: Take more photos!
