Leaving on a jet plane

I am off on holiday tomorrow, so this will be my last photo for a while. I'll still be taking a photo a day (probably, let's face it, a lot more than one) but won't be posting them til I get back.

Matchbox Swap

So cute matchbox! Mar-c organised a matchbox swap and mine arrived on my desk this morning.

Maple Leaf

A mini Japanese maple we have in our garden. We rescued it from Tesco last year and it died off, but has surprised us by coming back this year.

Paper Pants

Oh, the humiliation. I had a massagey exfoliation thing and wore these for a whole hour. It was a special occasion - Catherine's hen day at the Radisson hotel in Glasgow. Well worth it!

Keys!

Featuring the lovely vintage ribbon keyring mar-c made for me and a new russian doll keyring from Tracey. For a story about these keys, see my proper blog here.

Pens

I went to a meeting in Edinburgh - I stole a handful of pens as they were such nice writers. I am now exhausted.

Still Game?

As I strolled into the bedroom this Tuesday evening to get changed, I was met with the sight of a billion camera men and buses etc - I think it was Still Game they were filming.

Invites

My brother's getting married and I rashly agreed to make the invites. Slow going, but will be FINISHED this week or I will eat my hat.

Cacti

Pin cushions! I got these at the fair at the Cluny on Sunday from the lovely girl that is not the lovely girl from the Black Button, but the lovely girl from Evil Twin. I think they're twins. They're lovely and so are the cushions!

An MF Trip To Newcastle

An MF Trip To Newcastle, originally uploaded by mooosh.

Yesterday was the Cluny fair in Newcastle, just outside the city centre. Jo and I took a trip down on the train for the day and had a great time - this was the first time we'd been that wasn't below freezing, temperature wise. It was quite the opposite, so we had a wander down by the canal before we had to get the train home, in the tropical heat. It was so pretty.

Aah! Bees!

Aaaah! Bees! It's ok, they're behind glass.

Lee and I went for a long walk on Saturday around the west end and called into the Kibble Palace for a look at the orchid show.

There was a display by Glasgow Bee Lovers or some such - the man was most informative and showed us the queen bee. She was disappointingly small and had no crown on.

Sheep

This sheep seriously has kept me going for the past 2 days. It's comic timing is second to none.

Lee gave me some Lindor eggs - I ate them all. Every last one of them. They were braw.

Grafitti

An amazing mural on a fence surrounding a building site - it's an entire block long! Quite spectacular. I could only take one photo as some students got in my way.

Bags and Bags of Bunnies

Bags and Bags of Bunnies, originally uploaded by mooosh.

Some joker at work has just left 100, yes, that is one hundred, Lindt bunnies on my desk - the big ones. I can hear them jingling away. Send help!

That's Chicago!

Ok, not my photo, but to my disappointment, no photos were allowed. Catherine very kindly took me to see Chicago today - and it was AMAZING! Fabulous singers, dancers and even sign language!

The cutest envelope ever?

I finally caved in and opened my Tenorikuma stationery set to write my thank you letters for my birthday - it's SO cute!
