16 march | a quiet weekend

Photobucket
alright.. this weekend:
on friday i got done with school after getting an assignment to submit something for the YCN london live briefs.
{click on the pictures to see the site}
then i went with kieron to see his friend who was hanging out down the alley from our house with a pretty famous graffiti artist who was commissioned to do a mural for a wall next to the laines {main shopping area}. i watched for a bit then went home to research for the briefs. i want to get them done before mandy arrives on tuesday. we're only supposed to submit one,
but i think i'm going to do three. yikes.
ANYWAY, this week was carmen's birthday and she got some lovely white roses from her mom.
i think we counted 28 roses. which is a weird number for a bouquet i think. hm.
saturday, i ventured through a windy rainy 15 min walk to sainsbury's to pick up some food. i've been craving chinese food. but they don't have general tso's chicken here {an american classic} so i made my own! i've never fried anything before.. or actually... steamed broccoli, it's a sad story i know. well, broccoli isn't really my favorite veg, so there. i'm a carrot person.
and a human.

anyway i was so excited last night that i could make general tso's from scratch, because at the supermarket,
i couldn't even find all the right ingredients, and the recipe i found was an american one, that relied on measurements of "cups" etc, so i had to eye up everything, because they don't have "cups" in the UK. i think i'm making mandy bring me some hehe.
they cook by scales here. in grams.
i bought a bunch of clementines for really cheap too.
and they sit prettily on my desk right now. makes me happy on these grey rainy days.
i woke up randomly at 6am this morning and took a picture of my room in the early daylight.
so i thought i'd put that in there too.
the other pics on here are of my coffee maker and perfect breakfast sandwich that i had this morning.
and aurelia's poster she screenprinted for the "homemade haircut club" in which she used me as an example.
"makin' an example of me" hm.

it's not an official club, although it should be. ♥
Ps one of the briefs i'm doing is for a new eco-friendly shopping bag for sainsbury's
