scientists at cricket + { linkies }

I was naughty yesterday.

I had stubbornly decided to go shopping for summer apparel with Robbie, and then head over to Ben & Gabby's for a BBQ despite all signs showing that I was in for a day of hayfever at its worst. Unfortunately,I had also chosen to wear a pair of shoes that were wearing my feet instead, and so my feet were in blisters by the time we finished shopping. Note to self: That shoe is going into the Ebay pile!

One pair of sunglasses and a pair of board shorts later, we were on a mission to get to Ben and Gabby's.

A forty-five minute walk had taken us twice as long, even though I was in the company of friends who had (inadvertently) made the trip there before. By the time we got there, we were all feeling red and flustered from walking so long under the dry summer heat!

Although nothing could stop this group of plant scientists from a game of backdoor cricket and then some Guiness cake! Mmmmmmm cake!

Gabby (in checkered dress) is most famous for her Guiness cake!

Soon after, Ben was flat on his bedroom floor grovelling in frustration from hayfever, while my right eye was red from sub-conscious rubbing. Time to go home.

I had spent the rest of the night waking up every alternate hour, gasping for air without feeling a single bit of regret on how my day was spent.

It is about time to delete those gigabytes of photos of me and my ex.
