Well, here we are again, 18+months on and very little has changed.
I'm skipping over the fact that during this time I hit 50.
Hit it, crashed through it with my fingers in my ears and my eyes shut tight , ignoring all cards and well wishers, and trying hard to forget this [hopefully] insignificant fact.
At some later date , when I have taken the concept to my bosom, and forced it into the shape that I want it to be, i may expound on this event, but for now thats as many lines as i'm going to give it.
So to push on.....
Wallpaper.com
I love this magazine.
One day I'll even buy the paper version so i can thumb its pages till they are dog eared and soft.
*thinks*
I assume it DOES have a paper version?
*goes and looks*
Yes, it says it has a print version.
I dont look at is as often as I should, but whenever i do , I find at least 2 or 3 amazing pieces that send me off in directions new , or images that have me shaking my head in wonder at the range of talent that there is in the world.
Todays random flick through its pages have not left me wanting.
Or rather they have....
Wanting to open one of these....
Designer Ice Lolly Shop
Wanting to own some of these....
Swing Sunglasses
And wanting to go to this....
Enchanted Palace
Now I'm off to see what other joys are lurking in its pages.
Hopefully i wont be away so long this time.
G'Night.
:D

Holidays are for relaxing aren't they?
Holidays are a strange animal aren't they?
You look forwards to them in the belief that you will be able to laze around doing exactly as you wish, becoming relaxed, refreshed and generally rejuvinated.
So often the reality is rather different.
Not this time, however.
Mostly.
:D
I have had a blinding time and it's not finished yet.
I've been to see
Which had me crying with laughter throughout, although perhaps not for the reasons that the makers intended.
The Dr Who Exhibition at Earls Court.
Which was fun, as much to see the props up close and personal as the background to some of the shows.
The Viktor and Rolf exhibition at the Barbican.
Where I could have spent the whole day.
Really, if you're interested in design, go and see this exhibition.
The concepts behind each of the collections is well explained and the sheer visual energy is glorious.
I've discovered a brilliant pub.
The Angelic in Islington.
It has the BEST ladies, which was piping Eddie Izzard over the sound system when I was there, meaning I spent far longer in the loo than is normal for me.
The only reason I'm posting it is the solid knowledge that very few people will be directed there from here and so it will stay MY secret !
It been my littlest girlie's birthday too, so much fun was had by her and her friends during their sleepover [ much of which was caught on film by one or other of them, but which has been deemed FAR too embarrassing to be shown -though I suspect it'll do the rounds of her own friends- due to certain 'smellyvision' events! ]
It was followed up by a visit to London for a riverboat trip, a flight on the London Eye and then food at the Rainforest Cafe.
Of course, today has been spent mainly in my PJ's, but even so I've managed to do some supervisory painting [ ie I've stood by, given instructions and generally irritated my littlest girlie who was the one doing the actual painting ] of a fuchsia and purple chalk board/magnetic board on her bedroom wall, and a trawl through some of last weeks newspapers.
As for the rest of the week, well I'm aiming to see the Dali and Cy Twombly exhibitions, look for some new work-wear, and maybe pootle around some of the galleries.
What ever I end up doing I'm sure it'll be fun.
:D

Birthdays
Are they a good thing
Or a bad thing?
On one hand you get to do some awesome stuff in the name of the god of birthdays and Celebration.
On the other you're OLDER.
I haven't decided if the one is worth the other yet.
Today i'd say YES
Absolutely.
No question.
But tomorrow..........
Tomorrow I'm going to be a whole year older.
Ah bugger it.
In my head I'm still running between 16 and 30 so should i really give a toss about how many birthdays I've had.
Does it make me a different person?
Does it make me look different overnight?
Does it make me dress/think/act differently?
No.! No it doesn't.
I've been worried about a number for heavens sake.
How dumb is that.
Sheesh.
