We got out of bed late in the morning after a really nice lie in. Leila made Alex a coffee with a smile on it in the morning and it was probably the best latte art we’ve done. They sat in the garden for ages doing the blog and learning how to do planters withContinue reading “Day 33: Aunties and Uncles”

We got out of bed late, and had a slow, enjoyable morning. Leila made coffee while Alex showered and watched some of his entrepreneurship lecture. While writing the blog for the previous day on the kitchen table (it was raining outside) Alex showcased his presentation on dData to Leila, and she gave him feedback. TheyContinue reading “Day 32: British Pie”

Alex spent the morning going through all his photos to find the best ones of him and his mum, he’d been unable to send a physical card as delivery times were sometime in 2-weeks! He realised that he has LOADS of photos of Leila from a year ago, apparently she kept spamming him with photosContinue reading “Day 31: Mum’s 60th Birthday”

Leila unintentionally woke Alex up early. She felt bad, but then quickly realized it meant he could be on coffee duty which made her excited. Alex used up the last of the Alchemy beans (RIP) but the coffee was worth it and we both had 2 (this is unusual for Leila but very very normalContinue reading “Day 30: One month together”

Leila woke up way before Alex again, and downstairs and working by the time he was ready. Alex realised that he had forgotten about his Microeconomics problem set so after a quick shower rushed down to try and finish it before his 2pm deadline. Leila had worked quite nicely in the morn and took aContinue reading “Day 29: Aldi-saster”

Leila had not slept very well and so was deep in work by the time Alex came downstairs, she had already made herself a coffee, so Alex made his own and worked opposite her. LeilaContinue reading “Day 28: Two sides of the coin”

We woke up feeling like death, and grabbed a glass of water from downstairs. Alex went straight to work on the sofa to write his policy memo, he had a deadline of 1330 and needed to write nearly all of it by then. Leila made him coffee and toast to keep him going. She satContinue reading “Day 27: A short-long day”

Alex rushed to finish his econometrics homework in the morning, while Leila had a really nice bowl of muesli, she had a 1.5 hour long gardening call with the neighbours (3 of whom she had never met). She was the youngest person in the group by at least 30 years and clearly the least experienced.Continue reading “Day 26: Potatoes, plants and parties”

We woke up early and Alex was reading his book when Leila woke up, Leila made a beautiful coffee using the new Press beans and they sat in the sun and at coffee with their sunglasses. They looked kind of matching so took a selfie. Alex worked on his Econometrics and a little bit ofContinue reading “Day 25: Parks and Recreation”

Friday 10 April Leila woke up to Alex reading beside her. She was really happy to have a lie in because it was Good Friday. When she got up she immediately did the first thing on her long-weekend to-do list: wash the bedsheets. Alex made coffee meanwhile using the Alchemy beans which were lovely. TheyContinue reading “Day 24: Haircut”
