happy un-saint patricks day!

the exhibitions open and im actually really pleased with it. i was so nervous the day before and while we were putting it up but in the end everything was ok! the gallery is 1 big room and my photos take up nearly a whole wall on their own, leaving the other 4 artists 3 walls to share between them! it opened around 6pm and there was a little ceremony, there were lots of people from work, the girls and also some people from cosmo turned up which was really nice! id been given some flowers by the girls and as we were leaving the gallery, i was in the backseat of rileys car stopped at traffic lights. When a certain irish man noticed a sad looking woman in the car next to us so wound down his window and gave her MY FLOWERS! chuh men! when we got to cosmo though i did get a new bunch that were just as nice just a different colour!

yesterday, st patricks day was ace! id arranged to meet some mates in the dublin bar (the only irish bar in b'lore). we arrived and there was no guinness and no irish music! it was the most un-irish you could get really! we all had to wear something green, i had green, white and orange ribbons in my hair plus various green accessories! later on we moved onto taika for a bit and then went back to one of the guys house and i had a bacon buttie! wow it was so good! he'd just come back from england and had brought lots of bacon with him! mmmm! hehe. woke up this morning and felt rough so didnt venture into work untill lunchtime! whoops! was such a good night, should be st patricks day every day!

tonight im off to an unplugged session at a cafe in the city which should be cool. bit of different music for a change! i do actually miss rock music (yes you did read that right guys! i miss rock music and rock night!) although i still love pop "crap" too! :-P

A certain Irish person ??The only one we know is Seamus...but the actions do not sound like him.He is usually not regarded as generous or even spontaneous ,for that matter.I find him a bit dull-- and elderly in his manner.

Come on...tell us.Who is the mystery Irishman ??

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we&#

Ladies what #ldnlunch

After a few deep breaths I plucked up the courage to walk into the Jetlag bar in Fitzrovia & meet some fellow blogging lovelies. I'd first heard about Ldnlunch On Eloise's blog . I'd always wanted to go to a blogger meet so I put my name down straight away. I was a bit nervous when I realised there were about 40 other girls going who's blogs were mainly about fashion, whereas mine is just random ramblings from inside my brain box but decided I'd still go seeing as I had nothing to lose! I arrived expecting to be early but there were already lots of people sitting down for drinks & food so I grabbed a drink & perched on a pooffe. I just ordered a bowl of chips (how adventurous!) but I did pick off the plates around me (yoink! Thanks Lois! ). There were mixed responses to the rather tentacle-y calamari (I have some hilarious snaps of Jazzy eating the tentacles but I'm here to make friends not enemies so those will be shared between the 2 of us &am

Londoners pt1

Image
For Chrimbo Adam gave me a book called "Londoners. The days & nights of London now - as told by those who love it, hate it, live it, left it & long for it" by Craig Taylor. After reading the introduction & before reading any more I decided I'd think about what London & being a Londoner means to me. Even though I picked out bullet points I still got a bit carried away so I'll spread it over a few posts so here goes part 1, I'll start with the one thing that I think of straight away when someone says London to me: ~ the tube is a huge part of London life. It's about sitting on a train for an hour & not knowing what any one's face looks like only their shoes, panic attacks when the train gets stuck in a tunnel without explanation, keeping left, standing on the right spot on a platform so you'll be in front of the doors when they open & also so when you get off you'll be at the exit to the station - even if that exit says no ent
