Whoops, slack

So, no nail polish post OR ice cream post this week - slack I know.

There is no ice cream post because last week I decided to make Peach sorbet instead. Mainly because I bought the can of peaches back in January, and I'm moving overseas soon so it feels a bit...wrong...if I don't at least make the effort. In my defense, I also (at the time) bought a can of peach and mango, which I very quickly turned into (a very delicious) sorbet. But it's a bit involved, so I wasn't in a hurry to do it again. Plus at the time, there were so many ice cream combinations to try - I hadn't yet perfected my condensed milk/cream mix. But now, I really feel I should. It's just, that on top of that, it's really time consuming. You have to make a sugar syrup, you have to pulse the peaches, you have to mix and chill for hours (as the sugar syrup is hot), and I'm working so much that I don't really have the time. Not that I would blog it anyway - it's just a bit boring.

And my nails...well, I took my nail polish off yesterday and found that I was nearly out of my nail polish remover wipes. As I'm leaving in a little over two weeks, buying anymore doesn't feel very sensible. I could use cotton balls, I suppose, but we currently have one. And then there are the cotton pads for make up removal (which I tried and are excellent), but that somehow seems like a waste of money, because they're so lovely and soft for make up removal. So when I was working this morning, and because I had no real plan in my head, I just decided to give my poor nails a break. It does seem a bit of a waste with the eminent move, but there you go.
