Sunday roundup

This week has gone ridiculously quickly and March has crept up on us super sneakily. My week consisted of more work than previous ones which makes the playing bit much more worthwhile. My playing consisted of the following this week:

Cooking - my favourite meal this week was my Moroccan cous cous, mediterranean veg and grilled halloumi combination. I was on the phone to my grandma whilst cooking it and really struggled with explaining what I was making in Persian which made me feel terribly inadequate but when my Mum tried, she also couldn't get a perfect translation. Phew!



Listening to - Seth Gilliard. You seriously all need to follow this link to his beautiful covers on YouTube. I discovered him via a post my sister put up on Facebook of his version of Ellie Goulding's "Lights" which covered me in goosebumps. He is phenomenally creative with his little violin mash-ups.



Playing - chess against my computer, against Michael, on the iPad app, on a website to play with other people. Before I sleep, when I wake up, whilst watching television, in coffee shops. All day, everyday. Love it.



Eating - a wonderfully cooked meal by some friends. Dinner parties are lovely and I much prefer them to going out for a meal. Provided the chef is good...luckily for me, all my friends are better than me! :)

Drinking - Cilantro coffee shop's Cafe Nutella. A beautiful coffee creation involving my very favourite ingredient. And what you're looking at down there is a Malteasers milkshake. Cilantro is amazinggggg (on Tottenham Court Rd) and definitely worth a visit for its bacon sandwiches anyway.



Visiting - two exciting places. Número uno: a male barber shop. I appreciate that this is fairly ordinary but I've never sat in one before and it had the old school red twisty seats and tiled flooring.



Número dos: the Warner Bros Studios Harry Potter tour!! More to come on that soon!

Hope you've had a happy week x

  4. Hey, just got here by chance. And... your couscous looks a lot like a dish I ate recently and I'm really trying to get the recipe (was delicious!), could you help me with it? :)

    1. Hey! Embarrassingly, it is from a packet you can just get in the supermarket (possibly an ainsley harriot one) and is Mediterranean style and pretty yummy. My mum makes pretty nice tabbouleh but I'm not sure how to make cous cous. Good luck in your search - let me know if you find out! :)
