Leaving the UK...

Quick...somebody call a waaahmbulance!

It's a little over two and a half weeks since i left the UK.

Hey, i've been busy!

Judgey.

My main reason for going over was due to having had a lot of sinus trouble recently.

I wanted to get checked out,

make sure everything was ok,

plus...

i needed my mum.

Along with the sinusitis my anxiety ramped up.

I think i made myself a lot more sick than i actually was.

I sank deeper and deeper into my depression.

I hated Berlin, 

I mainly hated myself,

I hated my lack of motivation and creation.

I was in a really dark place. 

Luckily,

[after a long, tearful chat]

i have woken up. 

I am feeling less pressure, 

I don't hate myself quite so much,

and I feel a bit more confident.

Now....

lets get you up to date with my last few days in the UK!

A friend let me borrow some of his Palahniuk books...

i have a lot of reading to do.

Pick & mix and pizza friday are staples in my diet when i'm home.

Naughty.

I mean really...

look at her cute face all ready for some DIY.

My grandad gave me some of his old belt buckles.

He isn't the kind of grandad who readily gives things away to family,

he's quite sentimental and worries things won't get looked after.

So i nearly cried when i opened his package.

He is in his 70's and bought his first one when he was 20.

Bargain of the trip.

All three books for £1.

ONE POUND.

Read these books if you're into magic and sci fi please.

I made my first quiche and it killed.

[not literally...that would be somewhat disturbing]

My mum also made an apple cake and i forgot to have a slice!

This was on my last day :(

Going away buffay!

[i know it's buffet.]

My father, ladies and gentlemen. 

You'll be seeing a lot more of him in posts to come...

On the train home from the airport.

After taking this photo i had to change into pants and a tshirt...

*whispers*

chub rub.

We went to Mauerpark the day after i got back and i got a treat...

[fake] gold cutlery like Nigella has...

cos we're fancy.

Signed up to Netfilx,

[BEST THING EVER]

got stuck into ren and stimpy,

realised ren was a dog and stimpy was a cat

[wtf.]

and then got started on breaking bad.

OMG BREAKING BAD.

NOM.

Well after a pretty on/off week weather-wise

the sun finally decided to show it's big round face!

So much so that i got me a bit of sun burn.

Ooops.

I'm getting the sunburn chills now.

Despite feeling rotton i've had a really nice weekend!

We visited Mauerpark both days,

had some frozen yogurt and bought some vinyl.

[Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, and Iron Maiden...

if you're interested]

We indulged ourselves with vegan burgers 

and an impromptu trip to Gaudy Café for lunch midweek. 

 Finally broke into the english sausage supply for a tasty fat breakfast.

[Germany only has bratwurst, or bockwurst.]

[and no bacon.]

[not cool Deutschland, not cool.]

Gobbled up fancy flowery tomatoes and made us some pizza.

I had a camera photo shoot so i can share my collection.

Yep. I'm the girl who takes pictures of pictures, 

and cameras.

I am that cool people.

The boyfriend had fun making himself a million iced coffees.

His secret, coffee ice cubes.

Shh, don't say i told. 

While he was doing this i was marvelling at the size of the new face wipes i bought.

They are HUGE!

They cover my whole face.

Amazing.

I'm trying to not use wipes all the time, 

chemicals etc,

but sometimes you just need to wipe, am i right?

>.<

I also found a new way to wear my hair.

So much fun.

I love it.

I didn't think it would hold to be honest, 

was pretty dubious.

The trick is though, twist the hair pieces first,

then twist them around each other.

Marvellous.

Oh excellent news for you hockey fans....

My bruins got through to the final woo!

Because it's the playoffs most of the guys grow beards.

Seriously, hockey players with beards.

Seriously.

And finally,

last episode of Game of Thrones tomorrow.

*sadface*

After last weeks explosive episode, 

i'm excited about how they're going to end it.

My guess is the final scene will be something to do with fire.

Series 1 ended with Dani [fire],

Series 2 ended with the white walkers [ice].

So i'm thinking fire, maybe something to do with the red god?

Bit supernatural/magic like the last two finales...

We'll see, 

very much looking forward to it.

Hope everyone has had a good week!

I'm going to see Bad Religion on thursday

so my week is already looking amazing!

Analog #2

Nothing much to say here.

It got sunny, i went for a bike ride and took the camera. 

The crowd-type photos were taken in Mauerpark on a sunday.

Google it. There's a flea market, outdoor karaoke, bbq's. 

It gets pretty cray.

[i know saying cray is stupid, i say it for my own amusement]

YOLO. 

[haha kidding, i would never say that.]

Oh look, another goat!

I did warn you.

YAY GOATS!!

Analog photos #1

I hate digital cameras.

There, i said it. 

Okay, maybe not hate. But i certainly prefer analog cameras.

Using a fresh new film, fitting it in your camera, hearing the whirr as it lines itself up.

There is nothing better.

I love just recklessly pointing and shooting, clicking away, and not knowing how the photos are going to turn out until you get the roll developed.

 Here's some photos taken on my Minolta from the beginning of April. 

Looks like winter i know, with the snow, but hey, that's Berlin!

Side note...i love goats.

You should expect to see more.

I'm flying back to the UK for a week later today.
Absolutely terrified of flying.
Wish me luck!!
