Today was the last time I go through the whole ‘last-day-home-before-heading-back-to-uni’ thing.
It feels a little odd to be honest. Although I feel a bit sad to leave, I’m going to miss my family and the comfort of home, at the same time I have this overwhelming need to embrace living independently again as it’s the last opportunity I’ll have for a while.
A mixed bundle of emotions really.
After working almost constantly for the past week I decided that my last day could be more relaxing so all I’ve done work-wise is some reading and a touch of research. I’ve left my favourite essay till last and the reading I’m doing for it is fascinating so it’s not stressing me out too much.
Helps that today has been lovely (despite the lack of sun and the presence of heavy showers).
Freshly toasted English muffins with a dollop of butter, melting deliciously into the dough. One of my favourite rainy day eats. Perfect for being curled up on the sofa with the family.
Summer veg stir-fry with egg-fried rice. Seems a bit like wishful thinking in this weather but it’s really delicious. Hats off to Mr Fearnley-Whittingstall.
What better way to finish than Ben & Jerry’s Caramel Chew Chew and Haagen Dazs Pralines and Cream? (The answer is – there is none!)
I say today was my last day but I’m actually back Monday afternoon to Tuesday evening because I have an important hospital appointment in the afternoon on Tuesday. Irritating it may be but it’s too important to miss and unfortunately couldn’t be rescheduled.
What would be your ideal dessert right now?
How’s everyone’s weekend been?
Any plans for the week?
i totally know what you mean about the bundle of mixed emotions. for the past few days, i have been like, “it’s my last friday here.” or, “it’s the last time i will drive down this road.” it’s super bitter sweet!
Aw I know how that feels! Stay strong Haley!! Hope you’re doing okay
All of this food looks absolutely divine! You take gorgeous pictures, too. My ideal dessert would be a big slab of rich chocolate cake right about now haha. Definitely make the best of your time of independence and I hope your hospital appt. goes well!
Thank you lovely! Mmm that does sound really good right now, I want to make chocolate cupcakes now
My favorite dessert is anything involving both chocolate and ice cream – yum!
Hope your appointment goes well
That’s pretty high on my list too! Thank you Errign
Yum, that stir fry looks great! That sounds like a good idea that you are taking a bit of relaxing time before heading back! Enjoy
Thank you! Hope you’re having a great week
That ice-cream looks like my ideal dessert right now (it’s boiling hot outside). I hope everything with the hospital appointment goes well
Thank you lovely! Hope you’re doing okay
Ice cream or something chocolate-y is definitely my ideal dessert
Hope you have a save trip back!
It’s up there on my list too
Thank you!
Mmmm those muffins look delightful!
I think I’m in the mood for some sort of pie – apple, blueberry, cherry? Something warm, fruity and topped with custard! It feel like we are in the depths of Autumn at the moment not Spring!!!
Hope your appointment goes well!
Thank you Jessica
It definitely feels like Autumn right now, stupid rain!
Understandable feelings here Sophie… but I believe the happy feelings will trump over the others
Ideal dessert right now? Hmmm… I would say kind kind of berry crumble that is warm, i am a bit chilly at the moment and it would hit the spot!
I hope you’re right
Mmm I do love berry crumble, particularly apple and blackberry crumble in the Autumn! Hope you’re doing okay!
