Ghibli Goodness

I went back to Middlesbrough to visit Jack for the first time since Christimas.

'Foon Foon ngo fan lei laaaa!' xD

(Foon Foon I'm home)

It was good catching up, making bubble tea (and probably getting more diabetic), knitting and watching lots of Ghibli films *heart*

Jack's knitting did the most odd thing though

For some reason it kept slanting making more of a trapezium shape O__o

The next day he bought more wool and decided to start again xD

The Ghibli films we watched while knitting:

Neighbour Totoro

Porco Rosso 

Kiki's Delivery Service

Spirited Away

There was much discussion about how sassy and a cat Jiji is, if and we gave a sigh of relief that Ted couldn't talk because he would be the sassiest, bitchiest cat! This was the first time I'd seen Spirited Away and it was amazing and definitely worthy of all the awards it had won. Miyazaki is my God.

See you soon Jack!

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Today I went into Manchester spent some time in Chinatown and made some nice little discoveries!

Whenever i go to Manchester I ALWAYS go into the Oriental Crafts and Gifts place (I call it the Purikura shop haha) and today I spied a collection of amazingly nomalicious dessert books (which luckily came in Chinese and English! One day, I will get at least one of them and make EVERYTHING!

My favourite find were these babies!

GIANT Totoro plushies!!!
I might have to buy myself one for my next flat except I won't be sleeping on his tummy, he'll be sleeping on mine xD

I bought things (it would have been rude if not haha)
yes, I may be pushing 20, but those penguin stickers HAD to come home with me!

Went into Wing Yip Hong after eating and look what I found!!!

Bubble Tea goods! Next year I will stock up my flat well ;)

I also bought this Rose Green Tea (I love the box!)
It was very nice with a distinctive yet not overpowering aroma. Not only is is lovely, it's also good for your bones, heart, skin and digestion! I've also found that green tea helps my body break down fats faster and more effectively :)

I've been going on about needing a haircut for AGES now (David would know) and today, out of the blue it finally happened! My mum's friend recommended a place so she booked me an appointment (which we turned up half an hour late for haha xD)

 

Ta da!

I forgot to take a before photo ^^' but hopefully you can see the difference compared to how it is on the left where it is longer, thicker and heavier. I'm very happy with it ^^
