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 ??

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

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...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
