underwater snapshots

pleasant

so i got my gcse results on thursday and i wasn't really sure what to expect but i was happy with what i got. if you would like to know just ask.

currently am sorting out college business...and which college i want to go to as i had a little hiccup with west-herts.

we found my auntie's camera the other day it is an Olympus OM-2n



and it came in a satchel wth a 80-200mm lens and lots of uv/sepia/coloured filters, i am looking forward to using it! it also came with lots of old out of date film, so i could get some interesting results. my dad find an old tripod too in the cupboard under the stairs, so i'm pretty much kitted out!

as soon as i can afford a fujifilm finepix dslr i will get one :
someone PLEASE help me find a job!

oh, and this is me:

£££

okay...so i found my purse. it wasn't nicked or anything THANK THE LORD! it was under my bed, and don't ask me why it was there because i am clueless myself! i'm happy i have it though, it's a bit of dosh plus it was my louis vuitton purse which matches my bag and i was really upset when i thought i'd lost it as it was a present, but hey it's all good!

still havn't really been up much, just pottering around here and there. i saw heather last night and today i went for a nice long walk to cow roast and back, it started to rain so it turned into a jog!


do you like my shirt?

pants

well this week has been a bit of a flump...i have done hardly anything and have yet still managed to end up losing my purse, and being pennyless.

i met up with vicky and charlie on wednesday at covent garden, it was lovely to see them and catch up.





i've been quite low the past few days, i havn't been out, i don't know why i just havn't been able to bring myself to see people.
the weather doesn't particularly help with that! and today i found out i didn't get that job at waitrose and then i discovered that my purse wasn't in my bag...and i don't remember seeing it now since wednesday, and i havn't exactly done anything productive to of needed my purse since so i am clueless as to whether i have lost it or it has been stolen. i'm a bit of a pickle really. just overall not the best of days, and i have no money and no job. bloody brilliant.

funfair

serrena, alex and i went to the fun fair in berkhamsted on monday evening.


we went onto the waltzers first, all rides were only one squid because it was the last night!
serrena and alex went in one pod and i went on my own in another.
then anna and simon came on too!



i love this picture

out and about

i was walking home from heather's down station road and i saw this out the corner of my eye.

i found it so bizarre that i had to take some pictures of it!






then on the canal i saw a boat that someone had untied and had drifted. it was blocking off the route for barges to pass through and there were quite a few angry people wanting to get past waiting further down the canal. there was no one on this barge.

whipsnade

for katie's 21st on friday we went to whipsnade for the day.

handbags

i cannot remember one time when i have not wanted to be older than i am.

i have always loved the feeling of independance and thinking about the future and how my life could be so different in many ways by the everyday decisions and choices i make over the next few years.


i remember as a young girl playing on my own and pretending i was going on big journey's and i used to pack a bag full of all the things people would have in their handbags...lipstick and all. i think my love for handbags came from my auntie who has a gazillion louis's to her name. anyway, i would set off on my journey and i would feel all grown up!


i like things which make me feel grown up: having a filofax; dressing up; big hand bags with compartments; purses; speaking with a clear accent; having a husky voice!; getting my nails done; having a job; smoking; perfume; parties/clubbing; drinking red wine; college; cooking; walking the dog; boots; silky nightdresses; glamour;white walls; americano's; collections; writing/receiving post; mobile phones; ipod; making lists and having check lists...etc



the simple things that please me.

adventures

9.30 at berkhamsted train station. i was 5 minutes late...sophie was 35! so i went to get my usual americano from the coffee shop but the sweet girl who is always really chatty was not working but another friendly face was there and i was served nicely by edd, thankyou very much.

sophie arrives:


we trek it up to london and head for hyde park. i felt like a complete tourist asking people which direction it was to get to the serpentine!!

we get to the serpentine after a very long walk (i think we kept walking down all the wrong paths to begin with) and i persuade sophie to get into a pedalo...and here are some pictures of our eventful journey!















what am i doing!?


after a lot of pedalling, leg aching, and back aching (my spine KILLS) losing direction and getting stuck on several occasions we hopped off, well i almost fell into the water as the nice man tried to get us out the darn thing.

we headed in search of an ice cream van because sophie was craving a twister but alas there wasn't one, which is pretty silly as it was perhaps one of the hottest days of the year today?

sophie took some pictures of me walking through hyde park whilst she dawdled. yes i am aware i stripped off my tights.







then we got back on the tube after a nice walk in the park.

industrial fan pose:


and we discovered carnaby street by accident...(no ice creams) i'd never been there before and had been looking for it last time i was in london so had a little ganders round there, then we headed back up to oxford street and hit some shops (also no ice creams!).

papped in primark


and a day of good fun!


p.s. sophie did manage to get her twister in the end...3 minutes before our train left euston from whsmiths of all places!?

i hate feet
