The only exception to that case has been some strawberry plants that I bought this year. I managed to keep them alive long enough to get about two strawberries from each plant, before the summer drastically ended and the horrible torrential rain that came mid July, dashing our hopes of a nice long summer, also drowned my poor little strawberry plants!
But who needs plants when you can have nails like mine!?
This was how I spent half my lunch hour this afternoon, yip I really did paint my nails. My colleague got an order from e.l.f and it included the lovely colour Teal Blue. I volunteered to test it for her, just in case it was faulty and made her fingers fall off! The colour was lovely a really nice jade green rich colour! Although I think it lasted all of 8 hours before it chipped and I started to pick at it subconsciously, meaning I'll now have to redo my nails for my night out tomorrow! :(
Since I was feeling a little green fingered, I made the most of it! For dinner I had some lovely broccoli, mange tout, asparagus, spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms all mixed with some chopped chicken, spaghetti pasta and a carbonara sauce! I took some nice pictures while I was preparing to cook as I was waiting on my sister coming to my house for dinner, unfortunately though once it was ready and on my plate, I was halfway through when I though “Oh Paula!! A nice little final dish photo would have been a good idea!”
So my prep photos will just need to do!
It was a really nice dinner. I really like it when you grab some random ingredients and throw them together and it works out nicely! I had a couple (ok maybe more than a couple) of blunders where I’ve thought ingredients would go nice together and it turned out horribly, and I turned out hungry!
OK... I’m off to take off what’s left of my lovely green nails and pick an outfit and new nail colour to go with it for my wee night out tomorrow with my work!
Take Care
