A low-key weekend

This weekend was always intended to be pretty low-key, and I think we achieved that nicely, mostly thanks to the weather!

            Saturday morning dawned bright and early (for some of us!) I was up by 6:30, ready to head to the gym for an hour on the machines and an hour doing Pilates. From there I headed home via the shops and collected supplies to try and help ease Nick back to life following his fairly hectic Friday day and night out! Brunch was prepared and ready for consumption, and by around 11am I was finally allowed to crack on and enjoy the mini-salmon and cream cheese bagels.

Then there was a storm. It was an almighty, amazing storm, with louder, closer thunder than I have ever experienced. There was also a ridiculous amount of lightening, all of which looked like it was coming dangerously close to the building opposite our window. It last for around three hours, and it was spectacular. Visibility from our flat balcony dropped to around 3ft max, and it was the perfect excuse to stay bundled up in the flat, cosy and safe away from the explosions.

Dinner on Saturday night was at an amazing Greek place that we have heard great things about but never had a chance to try out. We went with Matt and Monica, both of whom were a little jaded from the night before, so it was a lovely quiet, quick, delicious dinner, followed by a big mug of tea and a lovely early night.

            Sunday was equally chilled out, with a bit of shopping, a light lunch out, the gym and my new obsession – the podcasts of “Serial”. Having finished my list of 100 Books, I wanted to find something to listen to that was not necessarily a book, but something interesting, and Serial is just what I needed. It comes incredibly highly recommended! Treadmill sessions have never passed so quickly!
