Day 267/365 (9Aug2024)
TGIF! This week was an absolute whirlwind, a chaotic dance of deadlines, meetings, and the occasional existential crisis. But hey, I made it through (cue the confetti and awkward victory dance)! Half the week was spent WFH-ing in the charming town of Cheltenham, the other half cocooned in the comfort of my own humble abode. Both had their perks, but let’s be real, nothing beats the siren song of my bed and the questionable snack choices that come with it.
Friday rolled around, and my soul was screaming for some serious self-pampering. So, I ditched the usual Netflix marathon and decided to treat myself to a solo date night extravaganza! First stop: Wagamama, because let’s face it, Japanese food is my love language. Next up: a cozy movie night featuring the thriller “Trap.” Josh Hartnett was absolutely phenomenal, and let’s just say there’s a scene or two that’ll leave you fanning yourself.
But the real highlight of the evening was Mother Nature’s grand finale: the sunset. I was cruising back home when the sky erupted in a symphony of colours - fiery oranges, blushing pinks, and streaks of gold that painted the clouds like a Van Gogh masterpiece. It was a sight that demanded to be captured, so I transformed into a sunset-chasing maniac, weaving through the picturesque country lanes (don’t worry, I kept my eyes on the road!). I managed to snap some epic photos, even capturing a plane taking off against the vibrant backdrop and the moon shyly peeking through the twilight. Talk about a photogenic evening!
And let’s not forget the scenic country drive itself. Windows down, wind in my hair, the scent of wildflowers filling the air... it was the perfect cherry on top of an already delightful evening.
All in all, it was the ideal way to wrap up a hectic week. Cheers to self-love, surviving the rollercoaster of adulthood, Josh Hartnett’s undeniable charm (and abs), and those breathtaking sunsets that make you want to pull over, breathe it all in, and just be present in the moment.
