Leicester loves espadrilles

I worked till 7 today. booo

Today all I sold was espadrilles.

Leicester dudes rock the summer footwear

I broke my favourite sunglasses that my

lady bought me. Luckily I work 30 seconds

from h&m so bought some new ones straight away

I got some post which put a smile on my face

(I forgot the bring the bolts that hold

my bed together so marianna posted them to me

along with some treats)

Night in tonight so I'm watching:

Shortarse

So the short jokes have started here already.

Maybe if I stretch really hard for a little
bit everyday I will grow

Sunny Days

are always the best days.

I met some people straight from work today
for a drink



and was greeted with Krispy Kremes



Heeeeeeeeeell Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah!

Day One

Today was my first day of work in Leicester.

It was an okay day.

I walked to work listening to:

I got to work and interviewed all day.

One of the interviewee's was ridiculously stoned

My view from work is:

The End...

New City, New Job, New Hair

The Owl And The Pussy-Cat

The Owl And The Pussy-Cat by Edward Lear

I
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'

II
Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?'
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.

III
'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?'Said the Piggy,'I will.'
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

Eateree

Cooking my first meal in the apartment this evening.

A lovely chili

Unfortunately I managed to lose my can opener somehow

between the journey from IKEA back here

Music makes you do things

These 3 albums have been my saviours over the last

couple of days.

Letting agents are C*%ts

Always make sure your lettings agents give

you the key to your car park went you

rent in the city centre

Window Seat

So I love my apartment BUT I love the views even more.

From one of my bedroom windows and the lounge you can see

the most ridiculous muscle gym.

Aaaall day long HUGE dudes just walk in and out. and I

mean huge!

This is why I spend 80% of my time sat on my windowsill

just watching them.

(I don't actually find massive dudes attractive

their just incredibly interesting to watch.

their waddle instead of their walk for example

is one reason)

HOWEVER! The view from my second bedroom window

is possible THE most irritating view I could have

dreamt of having.

Its a car park.

This may not seem that bad at first. Until you just want

to quickly change and then realise about 10 people

going into their cars can see you in your pants.

and then at night when you shut your lights off

only for your room to be light up like you have a huge

torche shining through your window.

This again tricks you about 5 in the morning

when you wake up panicking thinking its about 11.

Nashville

I love how multicultural leicester is.

And it also means Asda has a sensational

world food section.

Which is where I found this :)

Letter writing

I've had a really lovely afternoon sat in the sun in my

favourite beer garden in Leicester.

I took a trip first to paperchase and bout some amazing

letter writing aids to jazz up your mail!

My Cath Kidson address book is finally getting some

proper use too.

(Sorry for the chipped Nail Varnish)

My First Mail

And I couldnt have asked for a better piece of post

to be my first.

It was a card from my parents and I nearly sobbed on the

walk from the postbox back to my flat.

"Rhiannon,

We know you won't need luck for your new job-

but good luck is always worth having!

We are so proud of you - the person you are

and how you have dealt with the journey so far...

and there is so much more to look forward to!

You know that love has no geographical boundaries -

we are here for you and always will be.

All our love

Mum and Dad x"

I love my parents

Gibb would love this

So everyone always wants to live somewhere with really high ceilings.

It looks good but its so impractical for someone who's not even 5"3.

This clock used to be a face level with me...this is the clock from my view.

So I had to buy this but I still cant reach the ceiling.

Does mean I can reach the top shelf in the cupboards though. woo!

Got there in the end

So this is my new home sweet home

Moving Day

Moving sucks. But having some amazing people to help

makes it a million times easier.

(Also having fizz and filthy food to look forward to

helps a bit too)

Gifts

I got completely spoilt and was given some absolutely

beautiful gifts. Just for moving away!

Unfortunately some of them are still in Le Pub

(including the most unbelievable book)

but I'll whack them on here once I get them back

Marianna has been forcing presents on my for

a few weeks now and has got me some sick stuff

for my new home. Unfortunately I also decided

to buy some of these items. It just means she knows

me far too well!

Some of the things she got I didn't go out and buy:

The comfiest pillows you could imagine

Lottie gave me these amazing owl bookends which are currently holding

my sketch books and diaries.

She also gave me a polaroid at the end of the night.

It is the centre photo of my polaroid masterpiece

Mister and Missus Gibb gave me a hilarious card. It reads:

Ree: "I'm leaving Newport, yaaaaaay" Jess: "Boooooo"

They also got me the cutest mug and a pen with mine and

Jess's face inside.

Spam gave me a whole suitcase of stuff! Which it took us about

an hour to get into once we got to Leicester.

The burger teapot is pure perfection

She also wrote me some classic sam poems. I will

blog them later on when I get sad

There was a slight owl theme going on in these gifts.

It was continued with a joint present from Marianna

and Phil and a picture Phil made for me.

I completely adore this picture. its probably my favourite

picture I've ever owned.

I went back in time when I received original maz's present.

She made me a charm bracelet reading Ree * Mazi G :)

Tom and Jo and Dave and Linsey also bought me some amazing stuff

but i'll wait until I get it to reveal what they are.

Thankyou so much everyone (and mum and dad for my practical

presents) If only I could have bought you all the

perfect presents too.

I love you all ridiculous levels of love.
