Photoshop Fun

What started out as a little spot-the-difference fun swiftly became let's-'improve'-the-picture!

My picks from Tumblr #11

And a sneaky extra one, 'cause it's just so cute :)

That's not my name

Now my name has finally been spelled correctly, I'm debating using variety of fake names in future Starbucks stores...

First up? Regina Falange!

Trend Setter

Love the Google Chrome / The Cambridge Satchel Company advert!

A great example of how a trend starts, spreads, how to optimise social media and a really nice, short way of demonstrating Chrome.

Always makes me happy to see good advertising :)

My Picks from Tumblr #10

Pas de chat, Jeté & Pirouette

So this may sound a little silly random, but I was just browsing the internet today (quiet day at work, standard), & something somewhere mentioned dance classes. 

Now, I'm not sure how I got from there to here, but I've come to the decision that I'd really like to attend ballet classes! 

The most-basic-simple-for-un-coordinated-people-ever-type of class, mind you. 

I haven't done ballet since I was...oo, about 3 maybe? But I do remember it being super fun! 

And now I'm doing pilates more frequently (& loving it by the way - guess who can touch their toes now?!), I figure this would be a fun thing to do after work one day a week, while getting more flexible, working on balance & posture & learning a new skill! 

Plus who doesn't love a bit of a dance (and the excuse to dress like a ballerina)?

A couple of links to cool-sounding taster classes & courses I've found so far: 

Central School of Ballet

City Academy 

Now to find one of my friends who could be persuaded to come with me...

Not spots, but

Stripes!

Can't get enough right now.

Any colour, size, direction...I'll have 'em.

What I'm wearing today

(more or less) & I'm pretty happy about it. Who needs summer! 

Pah.

Birthday week!

Currently loving Birthday Week (yes, that's a real thing)! It was my birthday last Tuesday, but I'd been doing super fun things for the whole week surrounding it. It's just been a really lovely way of seeing friends & family (& a whole lotta food). 

It started with a trip to the children's zoo with my mum, brother & Adam

A pile of meerkats! Too cute.

 Adam inside a giraffe...

The the next day was tea at the Grand Hotel, followed a couple of days later with this b.e.a.uuutiful cake (one of two! Spoiled)

And then the aquarium

Jellies

Standing on sharks (sorta)!

And thennnn a lovely dinner date with Lyzz at Jamie's - totally yum! All the sorts of food your parents would make for you, but you wouldn't bother to make yourself (well, I probably wouldn't!)

Then the next day, it was time for Chilli Con Carnival!

Tequila, 5 types of chilli, pinatas, coronas, sombreros, marachai music & laughs :)  

And then to finish the week, we went to watch the Olympics in Hyde park! It was so much fun to watch Murray win gold along with a crowd of hundreds. Totally feels like a festival, but free & super fun! 

Oh, we also went to Cadbury world...

And had ice creams. 

Perfect.
