Yesterday I went around friend’s house for lunch at 12:30pm and didn’t leave till just after 8pm as I had plans to meet another friend at the cinema – so really I could have been there much longer. I don’t know why but I presumed that I would have a gap of a few hours between these two events to finish my essay but it didn’t work like that and I can’t say I’m that upset.

It was just a lot of fun and a chilled out day. There were five of us, our hosts had cooked lunch, and we chatted about University, friends and what we got up to over Christmas and New Year. Then we played board games! I can’t remember the last time I played a board game. We played Balderdash (which I won) and Mahjong which I had never played before but after a couple of games I soon picked it up and it was a lot of fun and very clever.

We had pizza delivered and then one of the kind hosts dropped me off at the cinema. Part of me didn’t want to leave as I was having such a good time but alas I’d made plans to see American Hustle.

I just love days like that, yeah I should’ve probably done some work but you need those days off with friends. They were people I don’t see every day and it was lovely to have a whole afternoon with them. I had a lot of fun and I’m so pleased the day turned out like that, it was a much needed break from responsibilities.

Yesterday is going in my jar for sure.
