You do the Maths

Don't you just love it when things you love come together to make an object for uber adoration? For example:

David Tennant + Hamlet = David Tennant playing Hamlet for the Royal Shakespeare Company

Sausages + Yorkshire Puddings = Toad in the Hole

Leggings + The colour plum = these beauties from American Apparel

As such...

Love of gardening + Love of all things minature + Love of glassware = these adorable Terrariums from TortoiseLovesDonkey on Etsy.

I think these are so lovely and am definitely putting them on my Christmas list!

Have a good day!

p.s. I originally came across the Terrariums on a great blog called Ponder and Stitch

Back in Time....?

Ok, for some weird reason Blogger has decided I actually went back in time and posted todays post last Wednesday.
Needless to say, I can't actually time travel and am sorry for any confusion caused!

Remember remember

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Short but sweet on the poetry front today! Happy fireworks night to all!

Hello and Goodbye

Good afternoon readers.

I had a really good good weekend, hope you did too.

Seeing as it is Monday thought I would offer:

this rather amusing story to enjoy

and

this pretty picture to admire:

Picture via red lips and ice cream

and

this rather lovely dress available at Etsy to drool over

Have fun!

However, just before I say toodle oo, I have a concern to voice as follows. I came into work this morning, checked my emails, looked on facebook etc with nothing untoward to report. However, when I log into Blogger, I see I now have 7 followers rather than the 8 I had on Friday.

Without being melodramatic- Whhhhhhyyyyyyy?!?!

Do I not post enough? Am I not relatively interesting?? Are the pretty pictures and cute animals unsatisfactory???

I would like to take this moment to mourn the loss of one of the few *sniffsniff*.

In fact, I am now too emotional to carry on.

Fare thee well my faithful 7!

Guess What.

I made it!

'Hurrah!' I hear you cry!

I heartily concur with this sentiment!

I didn't walk after all and in fact cheated by leaving work early to get the bus (which took an Eeeenormous detour) to the station. My highly logical and completely sane reasoning behind all this was primarily that I suddenly realised I was wearing the same black roll neck sweater that I was wearing when I got lost last time!!!!
Coincidence??

More than likely yes, but I didn't want to take any chances. As the coffee says, it all happens for a reason.

So there.

Pip pip, back tomorrow.

Walk this way...

Due to the turning on of Christmas lights at St Pauls Cathedral just down the road from me, and the resulting bus chaos that will ensue, I am having to walk some or all of the way to the train station this evening. Bearing in mind this post from a couple of weeks ago this may be a Bad Idea.

If I never post again it was nice knowing you *gulp*

Au revoir (I hope)

ps. two posts in one day? I know!!

If I were a painter...

...I would paint a reverie.

But I am not.

My sister on the other hand is extraordinarily talented in the painting department and these pictures were taken of her paints and brushes.

Hope you are having a nice Tuesday despite the rain my dears.

Toodle-oo
