SO. MANY. HAPPENINGS!
I've been doing a lot these past couple of months where I haven't exactly updated (obvs) so I'm gonna have to have a MEGA UPDATE and split it into 3 parts: March, April and May.
Here's the first: March...
This month I've been trying a few new things. Mainly food. But I DID go a little bit social and I tried Twitter's Periscope for the first time. It was a rather awkward experience if I'm honest - you know that feeling when you are in a position to talk about absolutely anything but suddenly you can't find ANYTHING TO TALK ABOUT-
Yup. That.
So once I've figured out a little structure or theme for each one, I'll try it all again and see how it goes! It's all live, you see. Very different to vlogging! (Speaking of which, I'll be getting a new video editor soon, so you'll see more of those in the near future!)
On the theme of trying new things, I visited a wonderful seafood restaurant recently called The Lobster Pot, located on Mansfield Road in Nottingham, with my colleague Lucy after we'd been to the gym (another very recent development and a slightly exhausting one).
I've included a couple of pictures of what I had (and a glimpse of what she had!) - I even tried oysters and mussels for the first time! Two new things in one night!
I can't find the pictures of the mussels and oysters, but I got a couple of other pictures...
The main course - I had Salmon with a red onion marmalade and fries, whilst Lucy had a soy sauce and ginger Salmon with salad :)
BANANA CAKE (with ice cream)!!
I very nearly face-planted this and probably would have done if it wasn't hot...
So a lovely evening filled with tasty things :) Good job Lobster Pot!
Jumping forward a little to the Easter weekend - I travelled up to Sunderland again, this time to share Easter with Dan and his family, as well as to celebrate Dan's birthday!
I received MANY chocolate things (believe me, it took a while for get through them all, even for me) and the Easter service at Dan's church was fantastic. I was also assured by Dan that he had a "brilliant" birthday (his words!); he got some fabulous presents, one of which being concert tickets to see Electric Light Orchestra!
A few family members and friends came round for a lovely buffet lunch put on by his Mum and Dave - as for the theme of trying new things, I tried Dave's (very hot) chicken curry for the first time.
Two words. Instant. Regret.
I don't remember ever reaching for a glass of wine as quickly as I did after one bite of that curry!
Continuing on the theme of food, me and Dan went out for the evening to a nearby pub called The Stackyard. We usually go to Italian-themed restaurants when I'm up there, so it was nice to try something a little different.
Here's a few pics of our meal (which was very tasty and didn't last long in the slightest):
I had steak and chips with crispy onion rings and Diane mushroom sauce...
...Whilst Dan had the most gloriously large cheeseburger I'd seen in a long time...!
Oops. How'd that get in here? ;)
So unashamedly, most of my 'trying' this month has been 'guinea-pigging' with food.
With all this eating, it's a good thing I've signed up to a gym so I can burn off the calories (so I can eat even more stuff!)...
The next update will cover April. Stay tuned!
