After struggling the whole week with my assignment due to various distractions I have at last completed and submitted it for marking. The deadline was tomorrow at 12. Talk about close to the bone. It probably didn’t help in the same week, having to also deal with the biggest distraction of an errant escort who thought it was in everybody’s interest to steal the whole of SAAFE and put it on Twitter, without first informing me, the co-owner. Simply because she didn’t feel she had to, it was there for the taking. But no matter, it’s sorted, thanks in large part to the superwoman that is my webmistress. I’m off to do the happy dance, having completed part one of level one of the course. Next, Discovering Psychology, of which the text book arrived last week and I’ve been sniffing its new book smell (don’t laugh at me, we all have our predilictions, sniffing new books is mine; I don’t get to do that so much with my beloved Kindle, not that I’m complaining).

And so, to this week. I will be around even less, as I celebrate the completion of this part of my course by taking Friday off to go wandering around London. I think after the week I’ve had last week I deserve it: apart from still taking a couple of bookings, I’ve also had to work last Thursday covering my supervisor on the phone lines as he’s away on leave. I also had a two day training course to get my office skills back up to scratch, the 2nd day being today. So yes, I definitely deserve a day off.

I think I’ll pay a visit to my favourite place, Borough Market (even more my favourite since I discovered a small Konditor and Cook near the market itself), and then as it’s in the vicinity and I’ve been meaning to go for yonks, a visit to the Tate Modern is in order. Gerhardt Richter has an exhibition going at the moment, I may or may not go to it, we’ll see, I’m not that fussed. But I’m definitely in the mood for a Tate Modern visit. So this coming Friday will be a “me” day. I’ll still be free this Wednesday and Saturday, as I’ll still be covering for my supervisor this Thursday. But if anybody wants to jump my bones, those are the only two days free this week in which to do so.

I’m off to do the happy dance.x

Just kidding!! Well, almost,lol.

Last Friday as it was such a pleasant day, I made plans to go to the Tate Gallery in Central London. I got off at London Bridge and I thought I’d take a walk through Borough St. Market first as I hadn’t been there in about a year. Oh, they had some wonderful delectables there. If I didn’t have the willpower I would’ve gone spending crazy, but I did give into something. I ended up buying a small box of Fairtrade Crumbly Fudge made by a company called Burnt Sugar. Goodness it was good. There were only a few pieces in the box but I was determined to make it last until today.

I had a google and found the owner’s website, plus another website which stocked it called the Ethical Supermarket. Which was good but I’d have to pay £3.95 for delivery for a packet of fudge for £2.95. Either that or spend over a tenner for free delivery. For a simple treat I don’t want to have to buy six packets.

On further research I did find stockists that include Sainsbury’s and Waitrose, which I’ve never seen at either. But if anybody does find it please let me know. I might even pop down to my local Sainsbury’s tomorrow to see if they stock it. That’s how much I’m on a mission right now.

I never did make it to the Tate Modern. They actually had a mini festival outside their entrance, with tents selling food, showing mini plays, even a tent where you can join in a chess game or two. I stayed outside on the green, read my latest book and just enjoyed the atmosphere. Then I took a saunter alongside the river and walked to Waterloo Station and headed back home. What a lovely day it turned out to be, Next time I’ll actually make it inside the gallery.

Described by The Observer Monthly as "the best fudge in the world."
