Thinking about 23 Aces

It's funny, this evening I've thought about 23 Aces a fair amount, and I text Dan and he had been thinking about "The Aces" today too. Maybe it's just that whole missing being in a band... there's something about it you know?
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love acoustic song writing and singing live with A New Leaf... but playing loud is just really, really fun!
Anyway I had a scout round and found this!!

Sigh.... I do miss it. 
And I still love this photo....

Cats in Pubs and Sparkles

Hello!
I managed 20 days of a photo a day... then I gave up. I missed a day, and I felt like it would be cheating if I took two on one day. Remembering to take a photo of something everyday is actually really hard!?
Anyway, one of my favorite things is making new cat friends, as you probably know.. I still see little Flufferbutt most days. He meowed a 'hello' in the dark and waited for his hugs on the wall again today. 
I made a new cat friend in the pub on Friday night, I was so excited when I was told "Don't look now Donna, but there's a cat behind you"

Oh, he was so handsome too, pure black with bright green eyes. I said hello and he jumped up on my lap for hugs. 
=^..^= yay!
My other favorite thing at the moment is sparkly nails, I have a new bestest ever colour, it's actually gold, but the photo makes it look silver...

Oooh sparkles...

I'm looking forward to Spanish class tomorrow, and music practice on Thursday - it's been FAR too long! And I'm having a charity event in my work on Saturday, that should be fun too! 

Being busy is good! 

Love and Cat sparkles

A Photo a Day: Part 5 + My Last Minute Hallowe'en "costume"

Hi Avid Readers! 
(hahaha! I don't think I have any 'avid' readers!)
I actually nearly forgot to take my photo yesterday so it's just of my stairs! And the day before that I was so tired it was just of my bed! 
Needless to say I've been super busy and haven't been anywhere really exciting to take photos... however scroll down to the bottom to see how to make a really easy Hallowe'en costume that takes minimal effort! (I'm rubbish with costumes!)

This is my bed, although it's less creepy in real life, this looks like something out of Paranormal Activity! I was so so tired by the end of Sunday, I was in bed at 9.30pm! Ridiculous!

29/10/12

Told you it was a photo of my stairs! I have an indoor garden on my stairs though. Its one of my favourite things in my flat!

30/10/12

Sometimes my life involves listening to pretty ladies talk about nutrition. That's what happened to me today.

And here is my newest video, which I filmed when I got in from Jade's party the other night explaining how and why my costume was so.... err... uh.. great?



Love and Hallowe'en

A Photo a Day: Part 4

Hello!
I've had a very busy week, and have seen lots of people, which has been really nice! However now I'm really tired! Here are my photos of the rest of this week...

23/10/12

This is Mister FlufferButt McGee, also known as Archie. He's looking very grumpy here but he's actually very sweet! It's just so lovely to see him on my way home, and this day he ran up to me as soon as he saw me. So, so cute!

24/10/12

I went back to an old haunt for a good steak and to listen to my friend Debbie play and sing at open mic night. It was lovely to see some people I hadn't seen for a while!

25/10/12

Sometimes it's nice to have a night in, and after going to the gym from work all I wanted to do was stay in! My fireplace doesn't work so well, so I have candles instead!

26/10/12

Jade's birthday party! Hallowe'en themed! She looked stunning as a Jilted Zombie Bride!

27/10/12

Today a cold autumn walk in the park... lovely colours!

And now I feel like I can relax for the weekend! :-)

Love and colourful trees!

A Photo a Day: Part 3

Hi! 
I had mad beautiful dreams last night, there were golden birds... normal looking birds like swans and some I don't know the names of, but their feathers were golden... then I dreamt I was walking with my mum and we went off the road to a section of grass that had high walls around it, and there were big blooms of colourful exotic flowers. It was really pretty thinking back on it in now, but in my dream it was like that was completely normal. Our minds do interesting things when we aren't in control! :-)
Anyway here are my photos from the last 4 days!

19/10/12

Getting this one to smile normally is actually impossible... so I had to make do with this!

20/10/12

The sunset on my way home from work. It was more beautiful than this picture shows.

21/10/12

Yep... I ran out of time on sunday, this is the time in the evening I realised I'd not taken my photo for the day! 

I watched two films about time travel on Sunday too... maybe if time travel gets invented I'll come back and take a better photo... if this photo stays the same, don't worry, I hopefully have got better things to do while I'm Time Travelling!

22/10/12

A coffee with this lovely lady today! We hadn't had a catch up in far too long. 

Jade always has lovely clothes, I really liked her scarf today, it had sparkles too!

I'm a third of the way through my 30 day challenge now! 

Love and Smiles

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...

16/10/12

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

17/10/12

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

18/10/12

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!)

12/10/12

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! :-)

13/10/12

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

14/10/12

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

15/10/12

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
