Day Nineteen : SUNday

Date : Sunday 19th January 2014

Time : 15.40

Location : Millennium Apartments, Birmingham

Birmingham Sun, deceptive? 

Sunday, already? Surely not?

I live on the 8th floor of a city centre apartment, which has its benefits, and its weaknesses. 

Benefits - Great location, nice place to live and has nice (ish) views. 

Weaknesses - Noisy, expensive and is always cold (the flat is lined with windows all the way round). 

It's the final point there that I'd like to elaborate on. This morning, we woke up to Birmingham's sun peering through the blinds. What a pleasant wake-up call, I thought as I basked in the Winter sun! The flat was abnormally warm, I wondered whether I had accidentally got a flight to some exotic destination in my sleep ... Or I was dreaming! 

Of course, neither were true, it's just the sun and my flat, toying with my emotions. Being so high up and maintaining heat so well thanks to all the windows, I was mislead into believing it was nice and warm out; so went outside in a shirt and summer jacket. 

My flat, and the sun lied to me. It was cold, so very cold. 

Hannah and I went to Austin Reed for me to get measured for my sisters wedding suits and promptly decided it was too cold to function any more, so went home! Unsuccessful day. 

Tonight, we're seeing The Wolf of Wall Street, which we're both really excited about as we've heard great things. I'm invoking the 'wearing jogging bottoms outside the house' rule tonight, as the film is 3 hours long! 

Lesson of the day - To know that weather is not always as it seems.

Bonus Lesson - Always be comfortable at the cinema (especially if the film is 3 hours long!)
