What a Great Day to Have a Great Birthday.

My first proper day of being 25 was wonderful, and while the birthday effect has worn off a bit, making these memories with Moon, who was an absolute sweetheart, was just the best and I had such a great time.





Don't get me wrong, one of the best parts of the day was scrubbing off London once I got home, but wandering around and being a bit of a tourist was pretty fun. I shared breakfast with cats, got to see a play I'd been dying to see, and in a box no less, ate at the fanciest Mexican restaurant and walked around London at gone 9pm and didn't feel like I was going to be robbed - winner.










Sitting in a box was so fancy, we might have had to share with a few people but we got first refusal at the bar so...
My favourite part of the play was just before intermission, have you seen it? I thought it was so clever!

If only these weren't like £2.50 a bag. Love a fizzy pug head.


Always ask for what's warm.


Meeting Jack 'Humble Eyebrows' Lucas because birthday and Masterchef.




It was a long day but a good one and we really crammed it all in. Turns out Moon and I are a little uncool for La Bodega Negra, the birthday restaurant of choice, but that's okay because our waiter was super-cute and nice and we just laughed about how ridiculous sitting in the near-dark with the loudest music was - it was amazingly delicious and some of the best food I've ever eaten though.

Discovering a new favourite cocktail - a Watermelon Lush, so good.


Couldn't stop thinking about those prawn tacos, dayum. ♥


We went for the Pollo Al Sarten, Habanero Soft Shell Crab and the Roasted Corn Salad. Oh my!






The whole day just lifted me up when I needed it most and I'm hoping that it's a sign of starting as I mean to go on...

Number Eighty.

I tried to make some sort of set but it didn't work out as well as I thought.
I keep swinging from have too much to not having enough - I was using selective in that sentence previously but I couldn't think of the derivative to it, so you got that informal wording instead.

Anyway, I think some of them work better with each other than other but there's not much point of posting different images in different posts when these are all from the same day. I was a lovely day, I hope that because we had such a nice time, I'll be able to go there again before Summer's over, although to say my funds are drying up would be an understatement.

We visited the Saatchi Gallery, it was much nicer than other galleries I've been to, as someone who is interested in the creative industry, I am one of the few I am aware of that kind of dislikes galleries. I'll only go to one if I know that someone I'm interested in will have work there, otherwise I don't care. That's quite crap of me but I'm getting better.
I've also taken a few documentary style ones, that I reckon could be suitable for another competition that I'm thinking of entering. I might enter a different one of the Chaplin street performer, he was pretty funny, we stood watching him for quite a while.
The strawberry one is one of my favourite images I've ever taken..

Lovely.




I found out yesterday that the Summer Project doesn't require an RDB, I feel a bit put out by this as nothing was mentioned about it before, but oh well, it eases the workload and means I can work less restrictively, even though I felt like my research was going really well.
I've just seen that I rubbish girl on the course thought she'd failed but then discovered she hadn't. WHY didn't she?!
