A photo a day: Part Two

Remembering to take a photo every day is actually not as easy a thing to do, especially if you are a person who doesn't really take photos that often... unless you're on holiday, like me.
And I probably could've taken photos of more interesting things, but it just didn't occur to me at the time...

My weekly trip to the local greengrocer, so much cheaper than the supermarket, and so much better quality veg! I love it!

This is how tired I look on a wednesday evening after a day at work and then a 2 hour spanish class... Estoy cansada!

This little doodle lives on my laptop at the moment, I think he's quite cute, the artist may disagree... he's not so keen on "cute" hahaha!

My neighbour took me out for dinner thisevening, to celebrate her getting her new job! Which is when I should have remembered to take my photo of the day... oh well... 
Love and picatures

30 day challenge, photo a day...

I like the idea of the 30 day challenge, you know, where you do something in particular every day for 30 days. 
I thought I'd start with something easy, so I'm doing a 30 day photo challenge. I'm going to take a photo of something every day... 
This isn't actually that easy for me, as I don't take photos that often really! And finding something interesting to take a photo of too is errrr... yeah, anyway. These are my photos so far! (And yes I'm instagramming it up, I'm not an amazing photographer by a long shot! hahaha!)

My cousin at her birthday party dancing with her husband... they were so fun to watch! Totally embraced the dance like nobody is watching, something I could learn from! :-)

Popcorn! I love popcorn and can't quite give it up yet!

My guitar, we hadn't played together for a while, so I made amends with that on Sunday!

White Tiger - My serious need for energy before body pump class this evening! It's like a natural Red Bull! Did the trick and tasted waaaaaaay better than Red Bull too :-D

Anyways, that's my first 4 days, 26 to go! :-) I might run out of things to take photos of... it could get interesting haha!

Love and photos

A quick one today...

Hello!
I don't seem to have much free time at the moment. I don't feel like I've had a good music session for ages! ... well that would be because I haven't. I really should sort that out, as I miss it lots. 
I have been spending a lot more time at the gym though, I'm really enjoying that. Who would have thought picking things up and putting them down again would be fun? hahahaha! 
So yeah, that's what my life consists of at the moment, work, gym, spanish class, and seeing people at the weekends! 
I will endeavour to make another video soon, just need a little time, and inspiration! :-)

This is a doodle I did a while ago, it's the only thing I've drawn in my little sketch book my friend Dan gave me. Which is a poor effort as he gave me it about a year and a half ago!
Just a short one today I'm afraid!
Love and no time

Spanish Class and Paleo banana bread!

Hola! 
I've been to my 3rd Spanish lesson this evening, I'm starting to find it fun rather than nerve wracking now! You never know soon I may be able to hold a conversation in Spanish for at least two minutes hahahaha! I find it quiet exciting learning a new language, it's like being able to understand a whole new world.
In other news my friend Clare has convinced me (well she convinced me over a month ago) to switch my diet to paleo... and after doing a whole lot of reading and being predominantly gluten and dairy free anyway I thought I'd give it ago! I can't believe how much BETTER I feel. Even on gluten and dairy free I was still getting stomach ache fairly frequently and now I don't. At all. It's amazing, and there's no going back really. My skin is glowing, my energy levels are amazing, I just feel better. 
I thought I'd give it a good month to really see whether it worked, and I'd say I'm paleo 90% of the time (I don't wanna be a bore when I'm out!) 
My favourite thing to make as a super hooray for carbs treat is banana bread....

It's amazing, if you want a carb hit... this is just the business... 
(Do you recognise chicken there? If not click here to see the chicken and the egg! He helps me with my cooking a lot. Also check out my super retro genuine 80's hand me down plate!)
Link to the recipe is here - PaleOMG her blog is really fun too.
So yay for banana bread and spanish lessons. 
I've got a day off tomorrow = yay!
Must do more music
Right I'm off
Love and bananananananananas!

Things I like

I've been meaning to post this all week!
These are the things I do like... in response to the things I don't like... 
My dislike for Ricky Gervais hasn't gone down well! haha! I just really don't enjoy his humour... I'm sure he's a lovely bloke other than that!
Anyway... here's what I do like...

I've had a week off this week so I'll fill you in on all the gossip (like I ever have gossip... hahaha, I really don't!)
Love xx

Things I don't like...

I'll be honest there aren't many things I don't like so this video isn't very long, but sometimes you just have to vent about the things you don't like!

I've made a things I do like video too, will post that in the next couple of days :-) that was much more fun to make!
I also wanna hear about the things you like or don't like!

Love D x

Picnics, Tree Climbing and Playing with your Food!

It's been sunny! And it's been my day off! AND my friend came to visit! Whoop whoop!
We had such a lovely day, I met her from the train station and I asked her what she wanted to do, and all she said was "PICNIC!" hahaha so thats what we did!
We got our supplies and suncream ready and went stomping off across the common. It was really windy though... this is Emma searching for a good "picnic spot" 

You know what it's like, you have to find the perfect spot, enough sunshine, good view, not too much wind that all your food would blow away! Anyway we found it! It was good! And none of our food blew away in the wind.

Our picnic consisted of sugar snap peas, apples, nectarines, olives, chorizo, vegtable crisps, beef jerky, sundried tomatoes and this stuff called "giganticorn" which was really seriously gross! It tasted like savoury sugarpuffs!!! We didn't eat those... because, you know, blegh! We did however make use of them in our "Food face" -

It's like we can't help it! Me and Emma get together and silliness has to happen at some point. He's called Fredrick, and we ate him... apart from his teeth, because giganticorn is wrong! hahaha! (Emma thinks giganticorn sounds like an evil corn villain - I agree!)

Also then we had to climb a tree, it was only a little tree, we weren't feeling too adventurous today. And we had just been lying in the sun for and hour and a half eating food! 

So I've had a lovely day in the sunshine, hooray. It's nice when you get to have a day where all you have to worry about is finding a good spot to sit and eat and talk with your friend. 

Happy days.

Love and picnics
