Queueing. Something nobody likes. I get super impatient, asking several times a minute “how long do you think it’s going to take”, and I’m sure I annoy everyone else in the queue with my constant fidgeting and stepping out slightly to look how far we’ve got left until we’re at the front. But queuing in London has become inevitable, as so many of the new popular restaurants have vowed not to take bookings. The horror. I know how you’re feeling. Luckily Talli Joe, ...

The display of new iPhone has become a 25% brighter, has a wide range of colors and, of course, 3D Touch. But all the same audio jack removed: EarPods headphones are now connected by Lightning. There are, of course, and adapter included for those who do not want to sell your own headphones with 3.5mm interface. And if you want to connect headphones Bluetooth, Apple introduced a wireless AirPods. Inside the iPhone the new chip: Apple A10 (or rather A10 Fusion) with 64-bit architecture. He quad.

Reading the history of Madras – it is stated that a Zoological garden in connection with the Museum was started in 1855.  Ripon Buildings opened in 1913 by the then Viceroy, Lord Hardinge. It  is surmounted by a graceful tower with a big clock which chimes out, Westminsterlike, in a musical and sonorous tone, the hours and the quarters.  Behind the stately buildings, lies the People 's Park opened in 1860 by Sir Charles Trevelyan, Governor. It is the largest open space in the city, and contains several ornamental palms... Читать дальше...

In Chapter 3 of Charlotte’s Web Wilbur the pig goes to live in the Zuckerman’s barn. At first it is lovely, warm and holds many new experiences. It’s got ladders, pitch forks, monkey wrenches, scythes, lawnmowers, snow shovels, ax handles, milk pails, water buckets, empty grain sacks, and rust rat traps. But soon the barn becomes familiar and Wilbur gets bored with his confinement.

The streets are full of promise for those clever enough to watch for it.
Take, for example, hair ties.  Why, if a gal plays her cards right, she may never buy an elastic hair tie again.  And as someone who regularly pulls her hair into a my-hair-turns-to-baling-twine-in-this-humidity yoga braid – much like your common, everyday braid but with more sweat – I gotta say, let the savings begin!
I mean, look around.  Bus stops, intersections, sidewalks.
Who are these people?  Clearly they’re on their way somewhere. Читать дальше...

My March 2017 EsianMall box is ...

When I awoke to news that Martin McGuinness, formerly a senior IRA commander with - I'd say - much blood on his hands but later a peacemaking politician, I wondered whether I would end up writing today about his transition from the terrorist leader who grew attracted to the dual approach of the Armalite and ballot-box to mainstream politician with an important role in obtaining and maintaining a flawed peace in Northern Ireland.

Hiya!  There are signs of Spring all over Houston, Texas!  I am absolutely loving this weather which makes me want to make pretty Spring cards! haha!

This new cutie is called "Easter Tricks".  It comes in digi or rubber.  What a perfect little image for Easter right?

These papers are super old from Imaginisce.  I am using them until every last bit is gone.  I added some glitter here and there but it is not really showing up on the picture.  I colored with distress inks.

PLEASE DON’T SEND YOUR MUSIC TO AN EARLY GRAVE

Your music might be world changing and awe-inspiring, but if you handle that gem the wrong way, let me tell you, that gem is getting dropped straight down a six-foot hole in the ground; and good luck finding it after that.
Stand back for a moment, and consider looking at the whole picture of your intended musical journey.
Try to consider, not only the creation of the music itself, but attempt to visualize the process of getting that music to the masses. Читать дальше...

Here at Love Gets Sweeter Wedding Films HQ (my garden shed) I’m working away on an amazing new wedding videography website and re-brand. I’m so blooming (excuse the garden pun) excited about everything and can’t wait to share it with you.

There are many reasons for which you may be stimulated to set about building extensions or superstructures in your house.

Last week I was chatting to Jason at the Oxfam Books & Music shop at Crouch End as I assessed my card stock there. As I added some more of the Old Dairy at Stroud Green he asked if had noticed that one person depicted on the sgraffito panels had something extra.
Intrigued, I walked back down the hill to take another look.

2017 Movie Watched List

Movie Watched list are always interesting to read to see what order people watch films in, over the past two years I have started doing watched lists with two different styles to talk about the over 1000 movies I had seen.

I've been gradually making my way through Lindt's Excellence Dark range recently - they do some excellent bars, and have recently added a Raspberry Intense to the UK range too.

However for today's review I've chosen something that's been on shelves for a while - Lindt Excellence Caramel with a touch of sea salt. Salted Caramel is still a trendy flavor in confectionery, so how does Lindt's version fare?

A Letter to My Best Gibz on His Birthday

So.
I’m not even sure where to begin this letter really.
Can I start off by saying that you are amazing?
Because you are.
And just in case no one ever tells you that, I’m telling you.
Many people don’t really appreciate you as much as they should.
I hope that I’m not one of those people.
Because I love you.

Love.
Like… if ...

The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams. Oprah Winfrey

This is the script of this morning’s Pause for Thought on BBC Radio 2’s Chris Evans Show with Michael Ball:

I recently came across a website about façade greening in Sao Paulo, Movimiento 90°, and then found another very fascinating website of Patrick Blanc, a botanist and the inventor of the Vertical Garden. Partly, it is a special form of green walls, which I had already encountered with ivy-clad walls, also at the walls of may father’s office building. However, the Vertical Gardens Patrick Blanc has realised are much more sophisticated, hanging florist artworks.
