happy womens day apparently!

dire straits were brill yesterday (anything but dire! :-P) sorry bad bad joke! it was only mark knopfler (hope i spelt his name right!) but it was soo good! didnt realise how many songs i actually knew! sanath brought along a little beverage for us before we entered the venue which was cool but i did think we'd never make it! we had one hell of a rikshaw journey! the first driver didnt understand us so we had to direct him then the rik broke down, the next also didnt know where to go, we missed the turning and were then pulled over by the police cos there were 4 people in the rik. he was fined Rs100 and we had to find another 2 riks this time. this guy didnt know where to go either (it wasnt a hard place to find, it was at the palace!) so i directed him and we eventually got there!

my exhibitions coming up and im getting nervous! went to pick up my frames today but the shop wasnt open, going to try again tomorrow, hopefully its all done! i cant wait to have my work on display and available to buy but its also scary knowing that people are coming to see your work and could actually hate it all! eeek! well i like it and guess thats all that matters!

in a bit of a daze today, just semmed to faff around all day and then i was getting some money out for me from our accounts department and in a 5min walk, if that, i managed to loose Rs1000, i re-traced my steps and its nowhere to be seen! argh! didnt get paid much this month either cos i was ill with my neck and the time you take off for being sick you dont get paid for! grr! ah well one less handbag this week i guess! *sniff!* hehe

from the exhibitionist (cheers for that nickname chav!)

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...
