Happy Monday! & welcome to the second addition of my week in photos. At the minute I'm stuck in limbo between finishing university and getting my results, so I've not been up to much. Regardless, here's what I've been doing!
1. It should tell you how little I've had to do this week that the first photo I posted is from Thursday. Anyway, on Thursday evening I went into Newcastle to see the BodyWorlds exhibit at the Centre for Life. If you haven't heard of this, it's something you definitely should check out. The exhibit contains actual human bodies, from people who have chosen to donate their bodies to become pieces of art after their death. The bodies are preserved, and bones and muscles exposed using a technique called plastination. Youtube it, it's incredible!
Now, I'm normally incredibly squeamish, but this was just phenomenal. I don't think I closed my jaw from the moment I stepped in, and I learned so much about the human body that I wasn't taught in school. Unfortunately, it was a strict no photography zone, so I had to leave my camera in my bag on the way through. But if you're into that kind of stuff, definitely definitely check it out if you get the chance!
2. Not a lot again on Friday. I spent a large chunk of the day sitting watching Netflix with my dog, Jasper (pictured). Unfortunately, he's not as big an Orange is the New Black fan as I am.
3. Last week I joined a gym! If you know me at all, you'll know how much of a big step this is for me, as I hate hate HATE the gym with a passion. However, this little one has a gym with a separate weights room and cardio room, and the downstairs has a pool, multiple saunas, and jacuzzis; so it's more like a spa down there!
I am also toying with the idea of starting a fitness section of my blog, as I've been conscious of my weight for a little while now, and haven't really done anything about it! So I'm hoping if I document my progress, it will keep me motivated.
4. This week I've had two massive shifts on both Saturday on Sunday, but as I don't start work until 2:30, I still made an attempt to get out the house and do something beforehand. On Saturday I went over to Dalton Park Shopping Outlet, which is about 20 minutes down the A19 from me, as there was a new discount makeup outlet store opening that day, however, merely did a little window shopping as I have no money until payday.
On Sunday however, we drove up to Go Outdoors in Newcastle to prep for festival season! Pricing air mattresses, tents, and all sorts. On the way back though, I made a point of popping into the brand new drive-through Costa Coffee, which in turn, made me feel a bit like Deadmau5 on a Coffee Run!
