Writing, fatshion, me: Weekend with Sam

On the 25th of October Sam came to see our new house as she hadn't seen it yet. We had got the time planned with Jacqui, but she wasn't well so had to not come, which was a shame. But Sam and I had a good time anyway!

First of all we met in Barnsley to see the Bruce Springsteen film Deliver Me from Nowhere. We had already decided to do this when my mum asked if I wanted to see the film so I said she should come with Sam and I. So we all met at the cinema at 11.15 and went in.

I thought the film was pretty good. I would have liked to see more of the E Street Band but I tohught Jeremy Allen White was good and it sounded good. I'm glad we saw it in the cinema. Afterwards my mum went straight home because there was rugby on that she wanted to watch, otherwise she might have joined me and Sam. We went next door to The Botanist for a bottomless brunch.

I haven't been there for bottomless brunch before and was impressed with it. The drinks were plentiful and there was a good choice of food. I went for a vegan burger which was nice. When our bottomless brunch time was done we had a drink or two more each, I can't remember. We were waiting for Lee to pick us up.

When he did, we had to go back to the old house for something so Sam and I stayed outside in the car and by the time we had done I think I had totally sobered up. We popped into the Co op (which was weird but we used to go there all the time but not since we moved to Penistone, of course - we have new local shops!) and got some snacks and stuff and then headed back to the new house. We showed Sam round. She was the third person to stay on the new sofa bed because my mum and stepdad had stayed there just a couple of nights before and said it was comfortable.

I was wearing tights and boots - it's tights and boots season, bitches! - and also a new dress that I got off Vinted. It's a Carolina Dress Room one and it was new with tags for about fifteen quid. I love the pattern of it and think I will wear it a lot over the winter with different tights and cardigans. My boots are a pair of Dr Marten Chelsea boots that I got off Vinted as a present a few years ago. The black wears off revealing the red underneath as you wear them. They're so comfy!

Sam and Lee and I all got into comfy clothes pretty soon and sat on the sofa to watch films for the rest of the night. As it was close to Halloween we watched Return of the Living Dead and An American Werewolf in London. Sam and I shared some wine and this ridiculous strawberry cider she brought.

On the Sunday morning we went to Holme Coffee House for brunch. Sam hadn't been before so it was nice. Lee and I love it - I've been so many times since we moved here! It's my go to place to take people! I had a Halloween hot chocolate which was overly sweet so I wouldn't bother getting it again. Then I had sausage, cheese, and avocado ciabatta, with fried eggs too. The food is always great.

When we had eaten Sam headed down to the train station to go home and Lee and I went home for a bit before I went out again...
