Just having a browse on a blog I really enjoy reading - Wild Blackberries - I don't know the author (blogger?), but came across it one way or another, & just adore the way she writes!
Anyways.
This video was on a post, & I felt like I wanted to share it too! The Boy said it was his favorite song by Marling, & I think having seen the awesome video, I'd probably agree...
Over on WB, she's said that it is one of her reasons for wanting to go brunette & I totally agree!
Have a feeling my hair will end up something like this when the weather cools down a bit.
Hopefully something like this;
Before I got completely off track, I was going to mention the birds in the video - it's shot in Brighton, but the starlings do the exact same thing around the pier at home (Eastbourne) too!
Pretty amazing to watch, but definitely better 'in the flesh', as it were. (By the way...not too sure who the randoms filming it with added commentary are. The price you pay for getting a video from youtube I suppose!)
Hope you enjoy the birds as much as I do :]

La Cantina
Earlier today, The Boy & I went for for an impromptu lunch at a local Mexican restaurant called La Cantina.
It wasn't quite how we had planned to spend the day though...
At around midday, I received a message on facebook from Vodka Revs:
However, when we (Sj, Jd, Dan & myself) got there at ten past three, we were told that too many people had come & they weren't giving any more out!
At the time, I wasn't sure what to be more offended about - the fact we looked like we'd just come for the free lunch, or that they hadn't stated anything about availability on the email! Tsk.
So after that Sj & Jd went for a wander in the rain & me & Dan were planning on going to Asda (to stock up on essentials like doughnuts).
But then! We walked past La Cantina & it happened that the 'A-board' outside was advertising their weekday lunch offer, which is amazing!
I didn't happen to take a picture, but luckily they have one on their website;
I had the quesadilla with 'yucatan'(pork) & fajita spiced fries, Dan had quesadilla with fajita chicken & fries too. We also got some chilli popcorn to share as a starter.
It was Amazing! Really, really good food, service & atmosphere!
Or, as Dan puts it "the food was sooo good!".
Will definitely be going back soon!

Inside;
I really like the little touches such as the real chillies hanging from the ceiling. & the music was pretty good too - I can't remember any specific songs that were played (useless), but it was a good mixture & pretty daytime appropriate.
