Hi Everybody! (you may read this in Doctor Nicks voice)
I thought I would attempt to write a new blog of Weekly Nibbles! no they are not something you can eat or even all food related sorry! just little life updates of whats been happening in my little life... what I am loving and not so much, so without further ado and with Christmas songs playing in the background (yep I begin festivities in September!) lets get to it!
1] Sunday to Saturday Shenanigans!
So Sundays are normally our dedicated "family day" as we usually have Fin we like to plan things to do and really make the most of our time together, Last Sunday was a bit of a grey typical Autumn day so we decided to make the most of the season and go out to our local park to try and catch frogs and bugs and whatever else we could find lurking in the cold muddy waters.
Success! we managed to catch ONE WHOLE FISH, I know right!? harder than u might think those pond fish are damn quick! also lots of pond beetles (that is their official name) and then took to the park to find an abundance of worms; wood louse and a friendly spider. My favorite times are when we take Fin out to play and explore nature, getting muddy just makes it all the more fun!
So. Much. Murkiness. Photos by my better half https://www.instagram.com/amadeusmadamus/
New Hair- It feels like I am forever changing my hair colour/style (probably because I am) but I really wanted something different to see me through Autumn and Winter...I will probably go back to blonde next year NGL but for now I am happy with this extremely bright and therefore snazzy Red/Orange do. I just feel it makes me look alive again, alive like a flame on a candle that wont burn out... just need to cut this bad boy now!
2] Watching/Reading and Listening to:
Watching: Westworld- Only a couple of episodes in and not really sure what to make of it to be honest, to me its like an extended even more messed up version of Charlie Brookers Black Mirror. I think the ideas there and the acting is really good but its quite difficult to stay on track with whats real and what isn't, but that's probably the point!
Steven Kings IT- I cannot love this film more! Enjoyed the original but this version blew away my expectations; the kids acting are amazing, the visuals, the tension build ups EVERYTHING. You just need to watch it. Go, go now.
Reading: Interview with the Vampire- The kind of book that is beautifully written, engaging, sexy, powerful but makes you want to pass out at the same time. Maybe that's just me, I'm not really into gore and the transition of man to vampire was pretty detailed!
Listening to: Christmas Songs Obviously, but also Nina Nesbitts new tunes- The best you had and The moments I'm missing ft Goody Grace are pretty sweet too!
3] Cooking & Baking:
Each week I will try and write about one thing I have made that was pretty delicious!
This week I made a Salted Caramel and Pear Cake inspired by The Great British Bake Off caramel week (which is worth watching just for Noel Fielding Wardrobe envy tbh) This was so sweet and yummy and comforting perfect for these cold Autumn afternoons! Recipe from the delightful : http://www.janespatisserie.com/2016/04/04/salted-caramel-cupcakes-2/ I just did one individual cake added cubed pear into the the middle of the cake mixture before baking and some on top for decoration! Boom!
4] What's coming up..........................
So this week we haven't planned much as me and Adam are both working lots and probably going to have quite a chilled weekend as Fin is at his grandparents for some of it and we have boring adult things to sort- hello broken washing machine! however the following weekend is filled with so much fun my heart might explode! We are going to the "Curiosity Carnival" in Oxford ( a free event where we can totally geek out with Fin and learn about Science!) My family are coming down from Leicester to visit us, so it will be great to spend some quality time with them and we are taking Fin to the Circus which I am bloody excited about! the tickets were half price which makes this even more thrilling!
So that's it! Little Nibbles, or Nibblets of whats been going on! (leaving out the bores of work and studying..noone wants to read about math)
I hope you all enjoyed catching up with us and if you are a "gamer/into gaming" check out http://twitch.tv/madamadamus it's Adams Sports Streaming Channel on Twitch and he has just become one of their Affiliates! (go celebrate with him!)
Have a Great Week and Bye For Now!
