Inside and out.

Howdy lovely people. How are you all? I hope you are having a nice day and have a fun filled week planned. Or if you have to work, at least everyone seems to be a lot jollier with the sun shining. I wish we were all like this all the time!

I have had a wonderful day today. I went up to London to visit the bigger of my little sisters (if that makes any sense) and we had a great day looking at the insides of things. Lots of things.

First stop, the Animal Inside Out exhibition at the Natural History Museum. I have heard of Dr Gunther Von Hagens work before but have never seen any. It was fascinating. There pieces included all sorts of animals from a tiny frog to an Indian elephant. Amazing.

We then headed over to the Wellcome Collection to have a look at Brains: The Mind As Matter. The exhibition seeks to explore what humans have done to brains in the name of medical intervention, scientific enquiry, cultural meaning and technological change. Not for the faint hearted!

I am now home, tired and happy!

Fun in the sun.

I am loving this weather. It puts everyone in a good mood, including me!

I am now sporting quite the tan and have been having lovely afternoons/evenings after work drinking pear cider and generally enjoying myself. It's gonna be a wonderful summer at this rate (as long as this isn't all the sun we're gonna get. Fingers crossed).

Yesterday i went and helped my friend Kreete pack, as she is moving. Well i say i helped, i mainly sat on her balcony tanning myself and drinking (see, it really is all i've been doing). Have a look at the view from her flat:

We were enjoying a bottle of rose, but once that ran out we started on a French Liqueur in a weird and wonderful bottle.....

 Hee hee.

Hot damn!

Good morning! Golly it's been a hot and sticky day and night. It's on days like this i love the fact i live by the sea and can walk to the beach in under five minutes! Perfect.

I am actually a bigger fan of winter than summer, although i have to admit that this lovely weather is making me smile. And everyone seems to be in a better mood when the sun has got it's hat on. Yay!

So, what fun things have you been doing in the sun? Feeling a bit pink? Luckily my leftover tan from Thailand seems to have kicked in so i'm going a lovely golden colour, which is good as i usually burn very easily!

Are you up to anything fun? A picnic maybe? Some sunbathing? Let me know!

What's for dinner?

Morning treacle! Did you have a lovely weekend? What did you do? Mine was good, although i was working so i mainly did that. Plus a bit of sitting on the sofa in my pjs watching movies, although i do like doing both those things so i was happy!

I have decided that i need to start looking after myself a bit more. What with this nasty little illness still kicking my bum, i think i should. First stop: eating better. I am rubbish at cooking for myself and tend to live on crumpets and pasta. This must stop!

Last week i was quite good though, this is what i was munching:

Monday: Chocolate digestives (this was only because dinner went a bit haywire).
Tuesday: Pasta with pesto.
Wednesday: Crumpets and ice cream (not together, one after the other, i'm not that bad).
Thursday: Pork belly with mash, gravy and veg.
Friday: Yaki Soba (Wagamamas finest).
Saturday: Pasta with pesto.
Sunday: Beef roast dinner (as i went home to see the Moosh).

It's actually not as bad as i thought it would be, but it could be a lot better. My plan is this: the pasta and crumpets must feature less as dinners. In fact, crumpets are not a supper food so maybe i should knock them on the head altogether (this will be hard).

What have you been eating for dinner? Are you good or bad? Recipes to keep me inspired are more than welcome!

I can be a bit squeamish but....

....i think these are pretty cool.

Check out these anatomical cross section sculptures by Jason Freeny. The full range can be seen here.

He has also produced prints, that can be seen and purchased here. There's even a Domo one!

They fascinate me! Amazing.

Bleugh.

Camera cuteness!

Good afternoon lovely people. How you all doing today? Well i hope. I have just been told that i have a naughty little chest infection and have been put on antibiotics. So i am mainly feeling poorly. Boo!

So to cheer myself up i thought i'd put together a little Etsy collection as it's been a while since i did one. The theme today is cameras. This one's for you Rob!
