I’m off to Cardiff for new years to see Rhys! I’m so excited, I’ve just got to get there first. I hate driving so a 3 hour car journey on motorways isn’t exactly fun! Especially when theres lorries, the M4 isn’t too bad for lorries but theres still other people on my road!! I have to go on the M25 for 4 or 5 junctions and theres like 6 lanes on the M25 now since they dug it all up, so I never know where I should be. If your in the first lane your stuck behind fucking caravans, 2nd lane is the dodderers and all the rest are hogged by business men in BMW’s and Mercedes who dont know that YOU DRIVE IN THE LEFT HAND LANES THE ONES ON THE RIGHT ARE FOR OVERTAKING ONLY. grr. If you cant already tell I’m a very angrrry driver!

When I get there it’ll be fine, We’ll have to take buses into town cos they parking for the whole day would be extortionate! My dads cousin (who works in cardiff) says the stations really hard to find if you’ve never been there fun fun.

If your wondering what happened to the layout I had up, I went back to the old one because I’m just not happy with any of the layouts I’ve made for a while. I will do one eventually!!

So Happy New Year and I’ll see you all on Monday :)

Merry Christmas everyone! even if it is a little belated! How was your day? Mine was pretty good, though first I’m going to talk about christmas eve. I spent most of christmas eve in the kitchen annoying my mum, something I’m pretty damn good at! I ate all the deformed orderves that came out of the oven leaving us with 25 instead of 30! Then I set about decorating the christmas cake! I’d made the presents and the christmas tree the day before so today was the snowmans turn to be made. A few miles of icing later…..

Some Snowmen!

And the christmas cake in all its glory!

Funnily enough, as I own a mac, I get to brag about how purty they are. Even windoze users who hate macs can’t deny that they just are prettier than PCs, even if you cant go ferreting around its insides on the great safari, hunting virus’s!

The first wonderful thing I’m going to talk about is Disco. Its a small app that burns CD’s and DVD’s but the best thing about it, is it smokes whilst burning a CD!

Yes, its gimicky but its so damn cool! So I suggest you all buy it! (I got mine through the macbundle through macheist, which has unfortunately ended, leaving behind it a wave of doubt as to whether the developers actually benefitted from the whole shebang.)

I’ve also decided to start using apple’s mail facility, don’t get me wrong, I love gmail, but mail is so satisfying and it actually has folders, the one thing I hate about gmail is the lack of folders, its incrediby annoying!, So here is a screenshot of my new colour coded inbox. You’ll notice all the accounts….I have all those feeding into gmail atm shame about my hotmail account, but I only use that for spamming because the main features on hotmail are a joke!

So I’m officially home for christmas, until the 7th of January. Its so good to be home, free food (and I dont have to cook it!) sky - especially UKTVfood which has delia smith ALL DAY! *mmmm* and of course, the best bed in the world, mine! Its so comfy, you just sink into it! It also happens to be a double bed so I can spread out, I’ve decided its impossible to sleep straight in a double bed, I keep waking up horizontal and wondering why my feet are hanging off the end of the bed. Which trust me is not a usual occurance if your 5″2!

Now I suppose your expecting me to go on about all our christmas decorations, but alas, no can do, because we havn’t got any! We’re not a family of scruges but my dads away in China till sometime next week and he’s the one that deals with the christmas tree. Theres one thing I hate about christmas and thats getting the christmas tree, I refuse to do it on the principal that its mean. I go to Squires and theres loads of trees and theres lots of people taking home the big green trees and I feel really sorry for all the christmas trees that wont get bought, the one with the odd branch, or one which is slightly short and brown.

Do you know who I blame for my inability to buy christmas trees, Nat King Cole its all his fault. Every christmas when I was little we’d have Nat King Cole playing in the apartment, over and over, so that song always made me feel bad for the trees The Little Christmas Tree.

Yesterday I had Coffee with shell in staines, we went back to her house and shes now got me hooked on babylon 5! Her dads a bit of a trekkie and recently he bought some star trek things from an auction at christies.

Everyone seems to be all busy making their calendars for 2007 so I’m curious, If I made one, would you buy it? I’m going to make one for portrait photos, one for macro and i’m also thinking of making a china one as well? I know its probably a bit overdone but I’m going to make a shop where you can buy cool posters for your walls, postcards to send to your mates (pretending your in a different country to where you are!) greetings cards in time for christmas and new year and perhaps the odd mug too. I may even venture into books and you can get a coffee table book of photography :)

Its just an idea, I do hope you’ll look at things and buy them. I don’t plan on making anything expensive, because its not really for profit although I would like to eat at some point….I’m a lowly student.

As you may or may not be aware Rhys came to stay for the weekend. It was fantastic, apart from the restaurant in the previous post! We went out to the venue on saturday, Rhys didn’t like that…I did! I’m not much of a drinker and I didn’t drink much …(at least not the ones rhy’s saw me drink! - thats why girls always take so long in the loo, we get a drink then go back!) but I’m such a lightweight I was a bit gone! Wasn’t sure if the headache in the morning was because of alcohol or because of the way i’d slept….
Heres a lovely picture of us int he venue, not the slightest bit of lechery going on here!

(it was school disco night hence the outfits….thank god you cant see the length of skirt I’m wearing!)

Sunday we didn’t really do…much. We got up at 10, lazed around, bought some food for dinner. Then monday I was left waving at the station. All I’ve had to amuse myself with today is washing and C programming. woe. Although this afternoon I did don my santa hat and go and give out christmas presents!
