I’m back!
So if you’ve been keeping up with me on Twitter you know I’ve had a weird couple of weeks. First of all I need to thank my four lovely guest bloggers for churning out content much better than what I usually put out :P
Erin kicked off the run with a beautiful DIY Paper Heart Garland, the lovely Laura showcased her pretty summer nail art in her post, little miss globetrotter Anajali shared some great travel tips, and finally one of my favourite bloggers Becky post an awesome post on why she loves Harry Potter.
Speaking of Harry Potter you may have noticed I was LeakyCon a week ago with my best friend Kath (no Ria were you really? shocking! What?!…) My two round up posts are now up and you can read part 1 and part 2. I did take the Monday after I came back off from work but I still feel exhausted and my brain still hasn’t adjusted to real life yet. Case in point. I spent most of the time watching Order of the Phoenix when is was on TV yesterday shouting ‘I met her’ to the TV every time Evanna Lynch aka Luna Lovegood on screen. I’ve also had Hank Green’s ‘Accio Deathly Hallows‘, Lauren Fairweather’s ‘Home‘ and Alex Carpenter’s ‘Bow Ties Are Cool‘ on rotation in my head. LeakyCon felt like a bizzaro alternative universe where it was ok to burst into a rendition of ‘Get Back To Hogwarts’, people understood me when I told them DFTBA and Wizard Rockers were greeted with a reaction similar to that of headline acts at Glastonbury.
But back to the real world and the realities that I’m finishing my work placement in two weeks (WHAT), start Uni in almost a month and no one cares about my LeakyCon stories anymore (I think I talked my sister’s ear off about it already).
That being said apart from LeakyCon a lot of things have happened that I’ve yet to properly share and I’m hopefully going to be able to do that in the next few weeks.
