Coffee date by the sea

Monday afternoon I met David for coffee. We decided to visit Very Vintage as we had a lovely time last visit.

The coffee shop always looks different, as the changing of stock helps. Lots of gems to look through. We ordered coffee and they appeared in the cutest China cups. Such a perfectly English way to drink coffee.

That morning I had managed to track down some of the Disney Lego mini figures which are meant to come out this week, but a store had them early. We opened them in the shop, and I was really happy with my pulls. Hurray for Disney Lego!

Then we went treasure hunting. I love looking through all the amazing vintage and charity shops by the sea. You never know what you will find, and that's always so exciting.

play me a little song

it was my sister's birthday yesterday. she had to get me out of bed so she could open her presents...i was still tired from these night shifts..i hope my body goes back to normal soon. she loved all her random gifts, and loved her t-shirt so much.
after she opened her presents we then we went to Canterbury for lunch, and maybe a little look around some shops. ah..Lego. my love. i am wanting a giant stars wars set..but that's gonna cost like £80ish...no money for Lego like that. after lunch, and a quick look around some shops, a SUPER WONDERFUL ice cream, we then nipped into this guitar shop my dad wanted to go in. he wanted another guitar to add to his collection, and he saw the one he wanted in the window..we went in and sat in the store while he played. my dad is pretty awesome. he used to be in a band when he was younger, just for fun and gigs around where he lived. i always think that its awesome. he doesn't think so. anyway, after long chats with the guy who owned the shop, and many many songs later, he got it. so i know have this really loud guitar waking me up in the morning. lovely. its not all bad..he plays songs i love.

one brick

so today i was woke up by my sister moaning at my dad about when we were going to leave...and there is me still in bed...oops. we went to bluewater today. my sister wanted to have a look around for birthday ideas, and i needed to get her a present. it was really nice to all spend some time together, its not often we are all together. we went for lunch, then looked around the shops, we spilt up as i needed to find my sister gifts, and then later came back together for coffee and a chat. so i did end up in the Lego shop today...ended up buying 3 crazy little make-your-own Lego figures and some more harry potter Lego..i cannot help myself...Lego rules. oh i also ended up joining this Lego group thingy...yes i am a total nerd.

i did get Victoria a Hollister shirt and some other little random bits and pieces. i brought myself some stationary, the cute bird paper clips, and submarine on DVD..which i am now off to watch.

christmas 2010

on Christmas morning, i awoke to my phone ringing...i turn to answer it, and its my sister calling me from downstairs telling me to wake up...gone have the days when i used to wake my sister up on Christmas morning just so she could help me get mum and dad out of bed. Christmas was odd this year. i love Christmas so much...but i couldn't help getting that weird feeling, like something wasn't right...maybe its just the fact im a not a kid anymore...but i never thought i would feel like that..ever. my parents got me such awesome gifts, which made me smile so much. star wars Lego?!?!?!?!---how awesome, right? plus books and dvds to keep me entertained from them and my grandparents.so its new years eve tomorrow. what will the new year hold? it makes you think though, doesn't it? i am not really a new years eve kinda person...its always such a let down. i have been invited out, but to be honest, i think i am gonna stay in, drink fizzy lemonade, hang out with my grandparents, mum and dad, play some old board games and see the new year in. i kinda don't want this year to end..but at the same time i do---i want new adventures, but i don't wanna say goodbye to the old ones.

i hope 2011 is simply awesome for you.

"..and how are you today?"

i am obsessed with Lego at the moment. love it! :)

last week i went to London with my friends..aka my 'fanboys' friends. we went to Simon pegg's book signing at forbidden planet...we queued in the freezing cold for hours. my feet were super cold. while we waited, Mr pegg went past the queue in his car, with his head out the window shouting hello to everyone, which was kinda nice. in the queue you had super nerds--a few of which were very clever indeed with ideas such as bringing a cricket bat for Mr pegg to sign...(awesome idea...why didn't i think of that!!). he was super nice, lots of random conversation was had, he asked if i wanted a jaffa cake, and that i had to eat it in front of him, he came up with a pub quiz name for our team---and other random things..some of which i cannot really talk about!--haha, awesome stuff. afterwards we went to a pub in London for a few drinks...awesome day indeed.

back to work now, new role at work...its more of a challenge, but that's always a really good thing. loving work at the moment, even though its a little stressful with some bits and pieces, i still love my job, which is good. on Monday i am helping put up the Xmas decorations!--a little bit early, but that's retail. i guess i will need to start with Christmas shopping...oh dear...i have no idea what to get people...my head isn't in Xmas mood yet! :)

...yay its thursday

yay, its thursday and i am bored still. i need to start writing my review of the 3rd Fine Art Show...and will get straight down to that. I started sorting out my room the other day..and moving bits and pieces around. My indy lego got put on my shelf with my dvds, and they are now on show.

i have been doing lots of doodles at the moment...
