one for sorrow, two for joy

so this is what the sky looked like when i got in at 5am after work....nice.went to visit my friend Claire this weekend for her birthday. my friend Laura also went. it was really nice to escape from life and just go away for the weekend.we went shopping, out for lunch at this AWESOME burger place...they were super amazing and i had a giant milkshake too, went to an outside play in a lovely park with a picnic, had a BBQ with family and friends, just hung out, went bowling, took silly photos in a photo booth, and just had fun. its hard because i used to spend all my time with them, and i used to live with them, now we just have to meet up when we can. it still feels really odd.
so when i got back from my weekend away, a package was left waiting for me. it was my summer swap package from lizzie. it was so awesome. cute maps, an amazing mix cd, a watercolour drawing of the tardis, so wonderful.also, my starkid t-shirts came yesterday. i will be wearing these all the time now.

Awesome shirts Nicola! I'm loving all the different 'keep calm' sayings that are going around.

I hate it when it becomes awkward when you haven't seen really good friends as much as you had. Its a shame, cause you don't want that odd feeling to be there.

Also your summer swap package looks amazing. Love the tardis drawing.

Have a great week!

Looks like such a fun weekend. I love being able to see old friends. :)

Also, awesome shirt. Did we just coordinate our blogging shirts today or? :D

Glad you enjoyed the swap! How fun!
