sheffield

i went to sheffield not so long ago and took all of one photograph. it wasn't really a photograph taking occasion to be fair. the one photo i did take, however, was a nice one and here it is. a photograph postcard all the way from sunny sheffield.


(the place of my ancestors)

shugs

i'll punchy you!

3 day weekend

a week that starts on a tuesday. i'd love it if all weeks started on a tuesday and if all weekends were 3 days long. wouldn't that be lovely?

because it's raining

...again! i made a sunny picture in the hope that it helps me pretend that the world is a bright and yellow place! this is quite a lot like the donovan picture but i don't really care! so there!

big and fat

for those of you who know me you know that i have an obsession. a big fat obsession, with japan. i eat japanese food, i cook japanese food (quite badly!), i watch japanese films, listen to japanese music, read books about japanese cultures and take inspiration from japanese design. i haven't been to japan yet but i dwell there in my dreams.

street art...

kinda.... errmmm.... well not at all really! just something i was playing around with today and thought i'd add it. it's... sort of work in progress.

yeah man

i've gone all 70s recently. maybe it's donovan's 60th birthday that influenced me or maybe i'm just a bit of a throw back! either way it's happened and i'm not sure there is anything i can do but go with it. so here's a bit of 70s inspired closeyourfly. no flares or fro required.

donovan's birthday!

do you see what a fantastic month may is? all the best people have their birthday in may... lindsay, donovan... me! well that's all the best people isn't it?

may the 4th be with you

(that was such a good title i used it twice!) it's the day before my 28th, how exciting. the best thing about still being 27 is that of my group of girl friends i'm the youngest. i'm the youngest by 2 whole days which means today all 4 of them are 28 and i'm still just a wee 27 and will be until 9.25am 05.05.06.

ooohhh

snow

the sun was out again at the weekend. i love this time of year. all the birds are busy singing and the blossom is out on the trees. there was a bit of wind on sunday in ilkley and the street was covered in cherry blossom snow

a return to glamour

there are lots of good things about the place where i work. i'm sure most of them are not out of the ordinary and would feature in most peoples 'things i like about work' list but not everyone can say that they can go to work and see the beauty and splendour of a 70s pink porn bathroom! it's not used as much as it was, back in it's day, in fact i think the only life it sees on a day to day basis now are spiders and the odd silver-fish. it is looking a little bit sorry for itself but underneath the limescale and cracked tiles is a bathroom with pure glamour. you just don't see enough gold taps these days. as i heard that glamour is the new black i thought it only right that i include a blog about the joy a porn bathroom can bring. so here it is! may it bring you joy!

birthday

it's my little sister's birthday today. yey! i bought her an ipod and now i'm dedicating this whole blog to her. what a fantismo sister i am. just look at her, doesn't she look like she's having a lovely time? he he! happy birthday vic. luff ya! xx

hello cutie

insight

'success is the abilility to go from one failure to another without the loss of enthusiasm' i was told this quote by someone i met recently and it's one of those things that really made me think. it's a great insight and i'm sure i'll be able to take strength from it in the future. that's why i have posted it here!









(these pictures really have no relevance at all but i like them!)

prom, prom, prom

i couldn't spend a day of my easter bank holiday in morecambe without taking a few photographs. inspired by the colours and the general feel of the place i set about turning some of my images into the perfect morecambe blog. more than most other places morecambe holds many of my childhood memories. i was pleased to see the prom full of people. all of them doing exactly as i was, enjoying the sunshine, the wind coming off the sea and having a good old british day at the seaside.

hello there

i have a lot of flash work coming up and am a little rusty so i've been having a wee practice today. i can't just let all my hard work (ahem) go to waste so as always my wonderful blog is now the proud owner of a little waving rabbit-dog-type-creature. how lovely.
