So we have a few days off work and started our long weekend in the very best way - a lazy brunch in the conservatory. It was just mushrooms on toast with lots of fresh coffee (and the leftover toast with jam) but it was dee-licious.
As it was his birthday the OH got to choose the day's activites: that's the way we roll around here. Usually, on a birthday, we catch a gig or a show and have lunch or dinner somewhere nice. The poor love was seriously exhausted this week and just wanted to stay home. We had the most luxurious day - do you know what we did? We napped. Like old people. We spent the whole day napping, eating and reading. It was awesome. It felt seriously decadent snoozing at 3pm on a Friday.
Refreshed from our lazy day yesterday I got loads done today. Pottered around the house, got lots of washing and ironing done then baked [and we ate] a Victoria sponge birthday cake. (I can't show you a photo because we were both so desperate for cake that I cut and filled it before it had properly cooled. We ate it warm from the oven. It might have looked like a wreck but it tasted like heaven, I promise you.) Mum and sis popped over with my gorgeous little niece (who spent the whole visit badgering me for bananas, milk, raisins and chocolate) and then I nipped out to get some shopping. I picked up a couple of gorgeous Chanel nail varnishes - a kind of vampish grey/purple and a really clean pale beige/natural colour. Chanel nail varnish is the biz.
We're off to Stratford-upon-Avon in the morning for a couple of days; it's a freebie and the hotel that we are staying in does the most amazing cream teas. I've saved my weekly WW points and it won't be pretty.

So I'll leave you with a photo of the birthday boy. Tell me about it, stud!
He is going to kill me.
