On Thursday a few of us headed to a relaunch event at the Southsider pub. I'm sure there will be a more in-depth post soon so I won't say too much, but we enjoyed some drinks and samples from the menu whilst listening to and ermm... singing along to the live band. Before the event, we had met up at 56 North for some cocktails and some food (although, in retrospect, we really didn't need food considering we were on our way to a pub/restaurant relaunch!). I've been to 56 North plenty of times before back in my uni days (wahhh it makes me sad that I now have to say "back in my uni days", so oldddd take me back!) for drinks but I'd never sampled anything from the menu before. I went for a huge burger and chips and it was grrrreat. I'm trying to eat healthily at the moment and am doing pretty well when I'm at home and cooking for myself, but I have decided that it doesn't count when I'm out and about. I can think of nothing worse than ordering a tiny salad and feeling sad whilst all your friends tuck in to tasty food - life's far too short for that!
As much as I'd like to spend the rest of the day lounging in bed and watching the whole of House of Cards, I've got not one but two job interviews tomorrow so I'll be making sure I'm all prepared for those - and looking out a suitable outfit. Fingers crossed!
What have you been up to this week?

Ice cream cone cupcakes... these look AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteMy friends and I did something similar, but we called it Galentines Day. It was an evening filled with various brownies and chocolates and watching Clueless (a cinematic classic in my opinion).
ReplyDeleteThis all looks so lovely :) Best of luck with your job interviews too xx
