So.....

I guess I haven't posted much recently, despite the fact I have a few bits and bobs to share.  I blame work - whilst I am so much happier to be back where I feel I 'belong' work-wise, in A&E, the shifts are incredibly tiring and I feel like I have so little time off.  The recent few have been pretty emotionally draining too - yesterday my 30 year old friend came in with a massive massive heart attack (luckily he went straight for an angio and is gonna be okay) and today, I had just left the hospital in my car when I came across a load of people standing round someone on the pavement - a man had collapsed on the way to work and had a cardiac arrest.  Myself and another doctor were there and pretty soon after, the whole cardiac arrest team were there - quite surreal as it was outside!  I am hoping that my next 2 night shifts will be a little less adrenaline filled!  I have 2 whole weeks off after that, I am very much looking forward to them!  I plan to sleep late, drink too much tea and take lots of pretty pictures.  Oh, and do some studying.  Bleurgh.

Twenty Nine

I feel quite old.  And I now have to go to work, but at least I have had a lovely afternoon.  I had a hot stones massage then went for lunch at a lovely little tea room and got a pink cupcake.  

I have been promised more cake at work so the sugar headache will probably last all day!

Ibiza

For my husband's 30th birthday, we went to Ibiza for a long weekend.  It was my first visit, his second (he celebrated his 18th there too).  It was ridiculously expensive trip, despite flying RyanAir, but a once in a lifetime trip!  We went to clubs (Eden and Pacha), drank far too many Mojitos in Savannah on the sunset strip, laid on beautiful beaches soaking up the sun and ate lobster at one of the most beautiful restaurants on the island (but shame about the service, Amante!)  I'd love to go back next summer, although may have to wait until the exchange rate is more in our favour! Here are some photos.

Wish I was still there!

Exhaustion

Ibiza was lovely - we went to clubs, danced, laughed, drank far too much Cava, spent far too much money and sat on lovely beaches.  I came back straight into my new job which has involved being at the hospital (which is almost an hour away) for 7.30am every day and doing at least 11 hour days.  I am knackered!  I have to continue with the early mornings until Wednesday, when I get a whole 1 day off!!

Work seems okay so far, need more time to get back into Emergency Medicine before I properly start enjoying it though, but I'm sure I'll get there!  Am off to bed, once again, too late - should really be in bed at 8pm!!

And yes, I note the irony of the title and the photo!

I'm leaving on a jet plane

Off to Ibiza, will be back on Tuesday!  Yey!

Glastonbury Highlights Part 1

So obviously by 'tomorrow' I meant 8 days later.......
Bit photo heavy this one, but not sure I really need to explain!

Am off for dinner at my favourite (Japanese) restaurant then off to work.  I have 4 night shifts and then am done with intensive care.  I'm sure I'll miss a few things, but not the 13 hour long shifts, very glad to see the back of those!

Miu Miu

I absolutely love the new Miu Miu collection - so pretty and girly!  Lily Allen on the front of Elle this month in the appliqued lace and silk dress - wow! Want, want, want!  Sadly think they are out of my price range, maybe this time next year they will be in the sale??

Glasto pics coming tomorrow!
