What a long yet refreshing day it's been. Film History is definitely one interesting subject! I can't say it's always pleasant sitting through a lecture, screening and tutorial (especially on the last day of the week) however, it's amazing how much knowledge is thrown right in my direction via these classes.
In order to get my head out of the books I treated myself to a slight shopping spree, which uh ironically ended with me buying a few more novels to add to my growing collection: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John le Carré and the 4th instalment of the A Song of Ice and Fire series 'A Feast for Crows' by George R. R. Martin. I'm particularly keen to read Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy after it was released last year as a major motion picture and stars some of my favourite actors - Colin Firth, Gary Oldman, Benedict Cumberbatch and (eye-candy) Tom Hardy! I tend to like reading novels that have been turned into motion pictures BEFORE seeing them on screen for obvious reasons. If the movie is terrible, at least I still have my own imagination to lean upon!
I also bought a pair of Nike Tempo Track Running Shorts in black. I remember originally seeing them first in Dubai and was about to buy a dark blue pair, however I left them "til next time" (turns out there never was a 'next time' because something else in the monstrous Dubai Mall caught my eye...). The Middle East definitely had a greater range in the colours available, however I'm pretty happy with the black pair at this stage. The fabric is made from Dri-FIT 100% polyester and is perfect for keeping you comfortable and dry whilst running. I'm hoping these shorts won't ride up much (my other Nike shorts tend to do that a bit too much for my taste) but I have no doubt they will be great to move in.
I couldn't help but snap away and laugh my head off as Topi (our little puppy) was being the little terror he always is. He is bound for stardom... in a 'death by dog' horror/thriller film or something.
To end the night - a lovely treat of cut up banana pieces dipped in Lindt 85% dark chocolate and rolled in coconut flakes or chopped california walnuts. Best before eating to freeze until hard. Served cold = sooo delicious. And if eaten in moderation, no calorie counting necessary ;)
Wishing everyone a lovely weekend ahead! x
