So, it's been a while

Well, I kept that promise up didn't I. Almost a year now isn't it? Woops.

Anyway, I've been pretending to do uni work while I've been away. Pretending as I have been at uni, in the most important year, but not actually achieving anything. Cue mega stressful exam period, which is so much fun of course. All of which is not helped by the crappy time I have been having of late.

But still, needs must. War time spirit and all that what what!

Dissertation is a go! Here is to me failing my third year woooo!

Will be a bit more cheery next time as it will probably be the end of my exams, but before the realisation I have to get a proper grown up job pretty damn soon.

BYE

Two Day Six's...whaaaat

Personally I blame Derren Brown as he was the subject of day six part 2...whoops. Honestly, I can count.

Day Thirty - Photo a Day

The last post for this challenge! Oh it's been messy, with my rambling posts that I don't but probably should read over. My forgetful nature, and the general lack of quality of the photos. But I hope you have enjoyed reading this and maybe learnt something, if only that I'm welsh and like food as that seems to be all this blog has been about.

This last photo was taken a fair while ago but I couldn't leave it out of my blog.

This is Fred the four foot inflatable Dalek. My brother bought him for me when he went to live in Cardiff and I think he fulfilled his challenge to find me the biggest thing he could which would take up most of the room in my uni bedroom. If you don't know what a Dalek is then shame on you! Go find out and then fear them. Fred was used to scare flatmates and it never got old. EVER!!

The next challenge will be watching a new film every day. They can be classics I just haven't seen (the godfather) or ones I saw when I was little but forgotten (Star Wars) I am not the most film literate person and tend to watch the same ones over or follow actors (David Tennant, Tom Hanks). Let's hope I can keep it up and I hope you stay with me for this new challenge :)

Day Twenty Nine - Photo a Day

Two left! Are you sad about the end?

I found a ladybird in my garden, went to take a photo and it flew away. But it landed on a daisy, show off.

Pretty and summery. And it will kill the evil aphids that are upsetting some of the plants.

Day Twenty Eight - Photo a Day

Three to go!

A nice shot of a willow tree, my favorite type of tree. Probably because of grandmother willow in Pocahontas which is my favorite Disney film.

And it is a sunny day!! In the summer! In Wales! Utter madness :)


Don't know what the other tree is...do you? But the willow is what this is all about.

Day Twenty Seven - Photo a Day

Nearly at the end of this challenge....

Thought I would do the photo first. It is a dead daffodil plant (it is summer) but the plant has dried out and the yellow of the Daff can still be seen. I just think it's a pretty picture because I'm all girly and like dead flowers....
Hope you enjoyed this photo

Day Twenty Six - Photo a Day

Found this guy peering creepily out at me from a field. There was a child hiding behind it and when I went to take a photo he shouted at me and I was absolutely terrified as there was no one else around and I thought it was just a sensor on the ground somewhere but no it was an evil child. This is take two of the picture but it is quite cool. He reminds me a bit of the Iron Man by Ted Hughes, loved that book when I was little.


I did say a bit like the Iron Man...not loads. Just the bit where he escapes from the ground after the farmers bury him, I imagine him peeking out like this first. If you haven't read the book, go do it...it is really short and has a fairy tale edge to it. And is completely different to the film as there is a dragon! ooooh
