Thai food with a friend

Last Thursday I went out for thai food with a friend. The food is amazing, the have the freshest clamari, the tastiest spring rolls with a nice sweet chilli sauce.

We hadn't relised how much food we had ordered until it all arrived on our table. The food was great and the company was nice too. We caught up on all the things that were happening to us lately, had a little moan about how hard we work and the holiday time we're looking forward to.

We ended the night with a cup of lemon grass tea with coconut biscuits and honey

Snow Day

I told myself I wouldn't do this. But here we go.....It's snow day.

Everyone is going crazy about it snowing, it's like the world has stopped spinning and it's all fallen into chaos. Travel is an absolute hassle. I knew it was going to be a long day when half the train lines were with minor delays, but I wasn't expecting this. 

The overground trains are already part suspended, the roads are slippery, not everywhere was ready for the snow and wasn't gritted.  But I don't want to complain...I mean I did get a day off from it all. 

The office closed at 12 and we we're all told to go home before the transport system closed and the sow got worse. My work place is a little bit on the edge of London and quite far out so the snow was getting pretty thick and started to settle really quickly. 

I've sat down to a cup of creme brulee hot chocolate with tiny marshmallows, put my feet up and wrapped up nice and warm,while surfing the web.

Outside looks beautiful, everywhere it covered in a thin blanket of snow, there are still little clumps of snowflakes falling from the sky and giving the world a white haze. I'm sure tomorrow it will be even thicker since they are predicting it will snow through the weekend as well. My only worry is the build up of ice and hoping that it doesn't get too slippery.

My new calendar

My mum got me this calendar from the happy notes series. 

It's absolutely perfect for me. It's a nice little pick me up for when I get into work and sit at my desk. So far they've all put a smile on my face.

Now I've decided to share my favourite ones.  The one that I think is perfect for my blog today is....

Sometimes you need to get lost, so you can find yourself

Movie Night

Today has been a massive movie night. I've been a bit poorly for the last few days with a cold, so I've spent the weekend in bed nursing a hangover and a cold. 

I've got my laptop and watching nothing but catching up on all the telly I've missed.

Today alone I've watched 'Anonymous', a great Shakespeare inspired conspiracy film, 'Fright Night' because I just can't get enough of Colin Farrell and vampires, 'Suits' season 1 catch up and 'Brave'because you need a little bit of animation and childish fun every once in a while.

Next on my list is 'Big Bang theory' catch up of the last season and considering watching the entire 'Fast and Furious' franchise.

Lovedough

Last night was Lovedough a night at Camden Proud.

It was a bit of a rocky ride trying to get everyone there. 



There were a few last minute cancellations a few drop outs and a little argument while getting ready to leave.

But in the end we got there and there was a slow start but overall was a pretty good night. I've manahed to leave my phone in my cousins car, so at some point will need to get it back from her today, but something that did come out of this night was some nice photos. The night was kicked off with a few dance crews, which I must admit were pretty good. There was live art being drawn as you can see in the picture, and a nice mix of songs by the DJ on the night.

The plan is to try and organise another night where everyone can come, and a night where no one is working and everyones free.

First blog of 2013

I'm still finding it rather weird that it's 2013. I haven't quite got used to writing 2013. I had to write out the date the other day at work and it hit me...It's actually been a year, and it's 2013 already.

So I've finally decided what my new years resolution is...I'm going to learn how to drive and take more pictures.

I'm not quite sure what I'll do with allmy pictures. Whether I want to put them on my wall, upload them and make a digital mural. What I do know is that I'm going to keep my camera in my bag and having it with me at all times, and will actually take the time to work out all the features and the great things it can do.

Taking pictures all the time is the easy one...learning how to drive now that's a whole different story. This will be my second attempt at trying to learn. Last year I tried to learn and even got as far as taking my first driving lesson but that's as far as I went.

It's a bit complicated, but I have anxiety when it comes to driving. The only car I feel comfortable in is my dads car. There are numerous reasons, but mainly every other car I've been in has been in some sort of accident, fender bender or small scrapes. Now I'm always anxious when I'm in cars.

I've got the theory book so hopefully once I read that and pass that I might be a bit more confident when it comes to driving.

Here are a few of the pictures I've taken.
