Cache and dash!

Bike riding is great isnt it!  i love it, i like being on my own, outside.  I cycled down to the river Medway's Estuary, and tried to carry out a bit of a #geocache with the new app i recently downloaded on my blackberry, free 30 day trial of course!  its not that accurate and because I was on my own...with a raher expensive bike, i felt reluctant to cache and dash! So I left, rather disappointed!  I have planced and crash and cache weekend though.   The crash part being a friend going on a date, and me and my pal are going to crash it! oopsie!

The picture above I took whilst taking a break, and overlooking the River Medway. 

try geocaching its fun

Is honesty the best policy when applying for a job

Well I think it is, so I've put it to the test and literally told the truth, no bullshit...how I graduated from uni in 2007, gained roughly a years worth of solid work experience, basically unpaid, and then 'due to financial circumstances' had to get a temp job, which thus turned into a full time job, paid the bills. then left that in june to go and work in America.  Now I'm back and looking for a job, and working as a casual, it's dire..help me out yah..?

I'll let you know if i get a response!

アホな走り集 - slow motion

This is an amazing video, I find myself literally lost within the video, concentrating on the slow motion movement of the characters in the film. Its amazes me, I love it.

I've often thought about recreating this video, but wonder what people would think if they saw me running in slow motion towards a camera!

Well basically, its a great video and a lovely chilled out song

please enjoy comfortably

Passport Pose

This weekend I treated the photobooth to my company. I was required to send a passport picture off with my police check for my summer expedition.

For anyone unaware, I am off to Massechussetts (apologies if i have incorrectly spelt that, must learn) to capture the summer goings on of a childrens summer camp.

I'm completely on over the moon about the whole prospect of meeting new people and learning a whole new culture.

My police check pic..smiiile!

I LOVE a useless fact!

Just a few that make me ponder!!

ENJOY!!

1. The average lead pencil will draw a line 35 miles long or write approximately 50,000 English words
2. An estimated one billion birds die each year in the U.S. from smashing into windows
3. Rain contains vitamin B12.
4. Honeybees never sleep
5. It takes 12 bees their entire lifetime to make one tablespoon of honey
6. The largest number of children born to one woman is recorded at 69
7. “Almost” is the longest word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order
8. The average office desk has 400 TIMES more bacteria than a toilet.
9. In 1945, a rooster by the name of Mike lived 18 months without a head

Dance like no one's watching...

When I first stumbled across this product, 'The Octopus' came to mind, my signiure dance move! I do love to get my 'lanky arms' out and dance like a reet tit, often incorporating some kind of dance off and involving a stag!

'Dance Like No one's Watching' - I tend to do this anyway, but I figure why not tell the world and pay £40 quids for a Emerald Green Smythson notebook, Isn't she gorge..

One day I'll own some kind of Smythsons stationary!!


Various slogans available, all gold stamped.

The reworked 1959 Olympus PEN

The PEN E-P1 is a modern digital re-working of the groundbreaking original 1959 Olympus PEN camera.

The original idea was to create a camera that was as easy to use and carry as a pen. The incredibly small size, retro style, and ease of use of the new model are a nod to the PEN’s past. However, D-SLR quality and a host of new features bring it right up to date.

I'd like one the cream Olympus E-PL1.

WAHnails - Uffie listening party

A big thanks to @phreshmentality for the invite to WAHnails (420 Kingsland Road). She is a very talented nail designer who won a competition to go to the studio for Uffies listening party. (Uffie - signed to Ed Banger records and collaborates with Pharrell on one of the album tracks).

Disappointment came when I saw the fashion conscious queue to get my nails done. But the complimentary drink, the company of @phreshmentality and the fact I somehow managed to get my foot stuck in the door of the 423 pretty much made my night.

Down moment of the night, the girl brushing past me in a fox fur coat. Don't. Do. It. Again. Please. Its. RANK. Not cool. And it doesn't make you any prettier!

Check out www.wah-nails.com to see their designs.
Below is one of mine!

This makes me smile

I went on a date (with a man!) to southbank and stumbled across lots of street artists, took loads of snaps. I've deleted the majority but I can't bring myself to delete this one.

Just look at the guys smile. It makes my day! Oh and that fact he is sitting in a rather large silver bowl with his legs around his head! Incredible.

Oh regarding the date, he was nice, we went to the Tate to see the black box! Ace

Out of date...much?

thought I'd give myself a little t-reat and snap this up, not noticing the best before date until I was just about ready to crack it open, it was chilled nicely!

My beady little eyes had to look twice at the date! How can #tescos let this be on their shelf still!! I bought it yesterday! That's hoooow many days after its sell by date!!

After some baffled thoughts, I showed it to the customer service rep who was so quick to apologise and run and get me a replacement! And probably scurry to rip the others from the shelf!

I now have a delightful bottle chilling in the fridge for my consumption at, erm aprox 11.23am 4th feb!

Just before my phone interview!! Eeeek! Will reveal all if I am successful!
