A couple of weekends ago, the weather was absolutely glorious, and my beautiful friend Lucy invited me to a BBQ hosted by her also very beautiful friend Sian. We had the best afternoon sat on the grass in the blazing sunshine, drinking cider and eating an insanely good vegan spread.
I also got to wear my new floral wrap dress from Topshop that I'm obsessed with.
Later on after a few too many drinks we of course ended up in Rise until the early hours of the morning. I do love me a rock night, adding a million snapchats to my story of myself spinning around singing along to all the songs... I won't include those!

So, Sunday the 11th July was a date I'd been looking forward to for sooo long, since November in fact when I bought tickets to see Blink 182 at the Metroradio Arena Newcastle. Then, a few months ago it was announced that my bae Frank Turner would be supporting! Heart eye emoji.
Obviously I was very hungover in the morning, but after napping away the afternoon I was ready for the gig and head off to Newcastle with my friend Lauren. Frank Turner did not disappoint, forever the amazing showman, chatting with the crowd every so often between songs.
And then, Blink 182... without Tom Delonge and only a 1 hour 15 minute set. I can't say I wasn't disappointed by the short set, because I was. We stood there a while after they'd left the stage, waiting for the last 45 minutes of the show which never came! £50 tickets guys!
Having seen Blink lots of times at several Leeds Festivals, in Manchester and in Newcastle a couple of times before, I'm still glad I went this time, but nothing beats the old line-up and the old days in general! I am old.
I enjoyed the amount of classic songs they played as opposed to their more recent stuff, of which I only know maybe three songs. Nevertheless we jumped about like idiots and loved every minute.
