I've Been Here Before A Few Times, And I'm Quite Aware We're Dying

I had a wonderful time with my Mum when she came to stay with me in Nottingham last weekend. So wonderful infact, that I hopped in the car with her on Tuesday and came back down south for the rest of the week. Certain situations being as they are, home is a very good place to be right now. Whilst in Notts, we ate fish and chips at Slug & Lettuce, enjoyed yummy cocktails (and equally yummy barstaff) at Coco Tang, walked the dog in the Arboretum as well as seeing True Grit at the cinema and indulging in a slice of carrot cake and a pot of Earl Grey Blue Flowers tea in Lee Rosy's.

I am so glad I came home with her though. It meant I went to London with my Dad on Wednesday- we wandered all over taking photos (although, I didn't take many!), and in the evening we went to The Wilmington Arms on Rosebury Ave. to see Gronk & the Body Doubles perform a truly rock and roll set. This is the band I normally sing backing vocals with, but due to Uni pressures I hadn't seen them in over a year! It was so great to have a catch up with the boys. I miss it so much. Once I've got my degree behind me, it'll be straight back into it!

This is just a photo i took in London. I loved her bright red hair and the wiggly bench.

 And these were in one of the entrances to Liberty's- they make me think of spring!
 And just a picture of a necklace that I bought the other day. I like the morbidity of it.
I'll be back up in Notts on Monday, and to say I'm looking forward to it wouldn't be totally honest of me. It's kind of funny- I seem to be going through one of those phases where I have so many questions about life. Why do some people do the things they do? Why does time and place matter so much? Why isn't anything ever straight-forward? And so on...

If you know the answer to any of these (somewhat cryptic) questions, send me a postcard.

Hope you're ok, sending virtual blog hugs! If it makes you feel any better I'm currently having one of those 'Argh what am I going to do with my life after I graduate in a few months' phases at the moment! I'm also quite homesick, but unfortunately my dissertation is somewhat preventing me from going home at the minute. Hoping if I buckle down now I can get home at Easter.
Also, love that Blink 182 song!
Hope you feel better soon, Earl Grey and cake always helps :)
