Finished my degree!

Hey everyone, it's been a while! My last exam was on 4th June and I have now finished uni, which is mad. I'm starting full-time at Weatherquest on 1st July, so am making the most of my free time before then. Sadly it's not as fun as it sounds, I've been doing life admin, cleaning and organising!

Since I wrote my last blog post in early May, life has been mostly revision, but I'm gonna post some pictures of my favourite moments. Below is Elin and I having our first snakebites in the SU bar after an exam (only 4 years late!).


During the middle of May, Tom and I ran the Pretty Muddy Race for Life, in aid of Cancer Research. Tom filmed the whole thing, you can watch it here!


For Elin, Mollie and I's birthdays we went to Haggle, a Turkish restaurant in Norwich. It was awesome and so lovely to dress up. We then went to my last ever (probably) Damn Good LCR night!! 


Then it was my birthday (mid-exams) so I took the day off and went to the beach.... It was not as wild as it looks!


We also went to an 80s party for our friends 30th Wedding Anniversary. I got my gold trousers out again (very happy to have another occasion to wear them for), Mum went as a Rubiks cube and Dad was Prince.


Finally exams were over!! My friend Sally, who I met this year, and her lovely housemates hosted a survivors party, where we had a revision notes bonfire!



Mum and I also got our makeup done in MAC and then went out to The Ivy for lunch to celebrate her birthday, proper ladies of leisure!!



Last night, I went to a quiz night with some of the guys from work, and we won! It was so much fun. I can't wait to start work in a few weeks, but until then, life is crazy busy!! This weekend, Tom is taking me down to London for a belated birthday present. We're going to Gauthier Soho, a Michelin starred french restaurant that has won awards for it's vegan menu.

The following week we're heading to the Cotswolds for Tom's Ultramarathon. He's running 100km for CLIC Sargent, a charity for children with cancer. I'm sure he'd love any donations, you can find his fundraising page here. 

In terms of this blog, I'm not sure where it's heading now! I doubt I'll have time to start up my weather podcasts/videos again, and besides, working as a weather forecaster full-time is probably enough weather to be getting on with!! I've always wanted to start a food blog, so maybe that will be my next adventure, but I'm sure this won't be the last you hear from me on here.

DC duck tour!!

Image
Today we got up fairly early and went for the hotel breakfast. I had fruit loops, which were super weird and Tom had dodgy doughnuts!!  We went into the city and our first stop was Obama's place! Obviously Barack didn't get the memo that we were in town so sadly missed out on meeting us.  After seeing the White House we walked to Union station, with a bit of retail therapy and lunch on the way! I got a pretty top from Forever 21! We had lunch in Pret, I had a California club sandwich and Tom had a New York Meatball wrap!!  We got to the station and boarded our vessel for the DC duck tour! The captain was called Captain Bucky and he was hilarious, he told us a funny joke to do with porridge when we told him we were from Norwich!! The tour was awesome, a really great way to see all of DC's monuments and memorials and learn things about them in the process! There is definitely an added excitement when you get on to the water, although it was a bit scary when Captain Bucky let

Snow?!

Hey everyone! Good news for anyone who is a fan of the colder conditions (like me!), this brief mild spell is at its end, as a northwesterly flow begins to dominate our weather once again. Now, I know it's not everyones favourite, but I love cold weather and the chance of seeing some snow makes me very excited. Though there's still some degree of uncertainty, there's a chance we could see a spell of snow in East Anglia overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning! For more details on the weather for the week ahead check out my latest podcast! I've been trying lots of different ways to record it, from writing a script to just remembering it from the top of my head! This week I did a mixture of the two, let me know what you think!

Worst Lecture Ever!

Friday began at 11, with a Meteorology lecture that I was (as always) late to. However I only missed a bit of recap so it was all good. During the lecture we learnt about the First Law of Thermodynamics, and there was a lot of maths involved. I still managed to follow it all though which was nice. After the lecture I rushed back home quick as my lil legs could carry me! I had a couple hours break and wanted to make the house look nice for when Tom arrived that evening. I literally spent the whole of my break tidying the kitchen and it didn't look like I'd even touched it, it was so messy. At 2 I headed back into uni for two super fun hours of maths! The first was a Vector Calculus lecture with the lecturer that I really like. The maths is quite hard but he explains it all really really well and takes it nice and slow, he gets a big ol' thumbs up from me. However my second lecture couldn't have been further from the nice, well-explained maths we'd been doing pr
