The rest of August...


The past month has flown by! I've basically spent my time working, wandering around art galleries, spending time with some of my fave people, or eating shit food with William. I feel like I've learnt to just do the things that I want to do this summer, rather than waiting for other people to join me or feel like I have to be sociable or drunk all the time. Maybe this is what growing up is?

Benito's Hat; Covent Garden



After a few misunderstandings about the specifics of which branch of Benito's hat we were supposed to be meeting at, we eventually had some amazing burritos and a massive sharing platter. In case you haven't heard of it Benito's hat is pretty much the Mexican equivalent of Nando's; fuss free, fast service and filling food that can be good for a quick stop or a meal out. I would definitely recommend their steak burrito! Afterwards, we wandered down the road to a churro place and claimed something Will had bought on groupon; a really good chocolatey churro each for desert. We sat in Trafalgar Square for a while watching people walk past and listening to a really great busker. Times like this in London re-affirm how much I love this city. We were just discussing how weird it would be to live far away from the capital. I certainly couldn't imagine it and wouldn't want to!

Chilled Sunday: Shopping, Fitness & Face-Packs




Yesterday was my first Sunday off in ages, so after going out for drinks with the girls and the other William in Walton on Saturday night, Will and I had a really nice day doing lots but not really anything at all (if that makes sense?!). After doing some tidying and things around the house, we ventured into Bromley for shopping somewhere different to usual, got some ice cold drinks and failed to buy anything we actually wanted. As Will is on a health kick, he went for a run before dinner, and I being the awkward person I am (unable to run places apart from on a treadmill) took a leisurely stroll behind him in the sunshine. Despite some complaining, I am really liking Will's current "healthy" routine recently as it encourages me to not be lazy or eat loads of crap. 
In the evening we watched "Captain America: Winter Soldier" with his parents, which I thought was pretty good considering I hate most superhero movies, lots of gun violence though (maybe too much?). We ended up doing face packs before bed (because we're really cool), though in the photo I am the only one looking like an idiot as Will had a clear coloured "manly" face-pack that you could peel off, while I was there scrubbing at a load of purple residue on my face afterwards.
