Tomorrow is bake off day. Every other week we do a bake off and one person bakes something and brings it in to the office. It's week 42 and my turn to go to the kitchen and bake.
So far we've had banana loaf, walnut bread and lemon drizzle layer cake. I decided to go very indulgent and luxurious by making double chocolate brownies.
Chocolate brownies with white chocolate chunks. They are soo chocolaty that only a small piece is enough to give you a sugar rush. Perfect with a glass of milk, I must admit I am really pleased with how they turned out. It's the first time I've baked them and I was really nervous. I only had enough ingredients for one batch but they are turned out great.
I've had a taste of them while they were still warm and gooey and they were pretty good. Now I've had a bite once they've cooled down and they actually seem to taste better, so I can't wait to see what they're like once at they make it to the office tomorrow.
There look great and taste lovely but there are a few tweeks I'm planning to make for the next time, just little things to do with the measurements and the timings so that I can get them even better.
The kitchens a mess but overall totally worth it. There are a few more things I want to try and who knows maybe baking is my thing and I can have it as a proper hobby.

Vogue's Fashion Night out was great...There was soo much to take in. Every store was doing something different, and I just couldn't decide where to go first but I loved every minute of it.
Some stores had live music and DJs with music blaring through the streets, others were handing out goody bagsand champagne at the door...I must admit there's something rather surreal about walking around a store with a glass of champagne in one hand and your shopping in the other. It was something I could get used to...all I need now is a few promotions and to relocate to New York or somewhere where that kind of thing is normal.
Now I'm looking into possibly getting a ticket to London's Fashion Weekend, that's happening next weekend.
There's something about clothes and shopping that makes me happy. Even if I don't buy anything and just walk around browsing the store I actually enjoy it. Maybe this is my this can be my hobby/interest.

Everyone says you should have a hobby. Something to do to keep you sane and to stop life being so mundane. Some people read, others knit, some bake and other go to the gym. My hobby is watching endless amounts of films....
I'm an absolute movie buff. I can walk into a room look at the screen and within a second tell you exactly what movie it is. I love sitting on the sofa and watch one film after another.
Films are a great way for me to escape and just be somewhere I've not been before. Watching movies has always been my hobby and I get the feeling that it will always play a role in my life.
I may still be finding my feet and trying to work out where I'm going in life but I know that movies will always be there in my life helping me along. Whether its a comedy that puts a smile on my face, a romance that renews my hope that love really does happen, or a world full of vampires and dragons where anything is possible of you just believe. I will always love going to the movies.
Lots of love
