Weekend Full of Celebrations๐ŸŽˆ

๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰IT'S PARTY TIME! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰
Well, for Geo and me Party time is different to most, but good food, some nice cocktails and a cosy movie is the best kind of night for us. (well and some very stressful video games, but that's another story) 

What are we celebrating? 

Well firstly we have (finally)  finished our exams and therefore completed our first semester of uni! 
YAYAYAYYAY

The second semester has already started, but I'll take lectures over exams any time.. 

And if you are vigilant reader of our blog you can guess your second reason to celebrate!
Our second anniversary ๐Ÿ’˜
It was this Monday, and as my uni starts late, I stayed in Leeds one more night and returned to Manchester in the morning, this way we were able to celebrate it on the day ^~^ 

First, let's talk about the celebration of end of exam period:
We bought some cocktails to freeze, they are quite cool because you just throw them in the freezer over night and the next day bang them against the table to break the ice, open the package and voila - a perfect slushy. I am a fan of cocktails, especially the frozen ones, and these are a real treat. Only downside, as we were eating them from the pack squeezing it out, rather than from a glass with a straw, our hands were freezing into popsticles. However we had the brilliant idea to hold them in gloves and that saved us a lot of pain! 

Cheesecake and  Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream are a woderfully yummy and fattening treat to eat while watching a movie ^~^
While the fancy box in the back is a Chinese assortment for two. While not usually keen on ready meals, this looked like a nice combination and turned out to be very tasty! (except for the beef in the black bean sauce maybe, but the delicious chicken evened it out)

(Are you noticing a pattern yet? Yes, I talk about food a lot XD )

Now back to our anniversary story:

We decided to be a bit fancy and go to a restaurant and treat ourselves with a steak. The place was really good, but the portions turned out to be too large for me, well Geo seemed to enjoy the additional steak :D 























It somehow is starting to become tradition to watch a horror movie on our anniversary. And while last year it was an accident, this year we just decided to continue that newly forming tradition. However, while this time knowing that it is going to be a scary movie, it was still pretty scarring (at least it helped me stay awake until 12 for the anniversary). In case one of you wants to be scared, it's called 'Ouija - Origin of Evil', while the actors are unknown, they are pretty good, which makes the movie more immersive.
