doggy break



*and yes,that is very ugly bedding we have there.but we were given it.as in free.and it's comfy.so frankly,boo to you.

after a hard day

of battling to get our car back...we finally have it back.but only because i threatened to go to the local newspaper about our shitty treatment from our insurance firm.

eeeeee



returning comments or trying to have a conversation on blogger

something needs to be done about this!i never know what to do when people comment me,because i ALWAYS read them but also ALWAYS want to reply to them,but it seems weird replying on my own blog as they may not check back to see if i have.or if they do it means there's a strange delayed conversation going on.blogger need to sort this out.

but just for you lovely people anyway...

thank you so much for your lovely comments.it's so awesome that you read my blog,and i'm sure if i met you all in real life,i'd love you loads! xxxxxxx

guest photographer mikee


i could not bring enough cheer to my miserableness yesterday to even take photos(even though tenby is gorgeous),but mikee insisted on taking photos,and they are pretty special.
views of tenby.









mikee looked super happy in the photos bless him,but in the picture of us both you can see my strained expression and most of my eye makeup has come off from the bawling!(i look like i have a huge chin,haha).




this is a really cool old style cinema that only shows one film once an evening for a week at a time.

this made me smile...very briefly.

sunday

what a day.this post is most likely going to be quite hard to keep track of.after a late start to the day(mikee had been at work sound engineering at a gig and not arrived home until 3am)mikee decided we should take a trip to tenby.i wasn't against this,but i also thought it was a hell of a drive considering we wouldn't get there until after 3pm.i was worried about leaving the dogs for so long in the flat too.everything just seemed a little...off.have you ever had that feeling?that things aren't quite right?anyway,i could tell that mikee had his heart set on taking us there,so off we went.we arrived in tenby around 3.30pm,with mikee joking that a police car was tailing us.well,i assumed he was joking,as he didn't seem too bothered.we drove into tenby and went to drive into the nearest carpark.this is when we were stopped by a policeman.now i have never been in a car pulled over by a policeman,and i could not believe what was happening.mikee was asked to pull over to the side,which he obviously did.and we both just sat there,shocked and wondering what on earth was happening.we both knew we were road legal.the car was taxed,insured and mikee had a legal driving licence on him.he wasn't speeding and there seemed to be no reason for a policeman to pull us over.so the police officer walked back over and told us he had stopped us as we had no valid car insurance.we were shocked.as i told the policeman,we had paid our monthly installment of £44 just a matter of days ago.he asked if we had cancelled or stopped our payments,which we answered no.we even pointed out to him that we would not have been able to renew our tax disc without valid insurance papers.he wasn't having any of it.now most people would tell you that it is often the case that the police give you 7 days to present your documents to a local police station.i asked the policeman if this was correct.he basically said yes...but no.(it was very hard to understand where fair justice and law came into this).the policeman informed us that he was seizing our car for having no insurance on us.mikee had told him he did not carry the documents in the car should the car ever get broken into.this meant nothing to the officer and mikee was asked to go and sit in the police car and sign the paperwork.i just sat there full of anger and tears streaming down my face.anger because yet again,it seems the more law abiding you are,the more mistreated you are by the law and government.i can only assume that we were tailed in the first place because of our "different" appearance?because our car is very run-of-the-mill and mikee is a brilliant driver.the car my dad had given to us,that i am due to take over once i pass my test...well,the police were impounding it (ie.taking it from us and having it towed even further away to pembroke dock)and basically telling us we were lying.when we knew full well that our documents were safely tucked away at home.you could say,well why didn't you have them with me?most people believe that you have 7 days to present your documents,so it's not just us.and besides,the police man even told mikee that it wouldn't have made a difference as we were coming up on the system as uninsured.you could say the policeman was doing his job.i have to disagree there.he could have easily said,take it home,find your documents and go immediately to the local police station and show them.but his course of action meant that we were left in tenby with not much money to our name,and i did not even have a jacket with me.the policemans answer to us telling him about the dire situation we were in trying to get home if he took our car?
"that's not my problem"
so basically,the man then came to tow away our car,which made me even more distraught and upset.mikee and i walked away,so angry and so disappointed in our country's police force.mikee even told the policeman "this is why so many people hate the police.because the honest working class get treated like this,while real criminals are out on the streets,getting away with it".i don't blame mikee.i am so proud of him keeping his cool,especially as i know his hatred for the police.and i have to agree with him.it'd be nice to believe the police were on our side.but adding what happended yesterday to my list of experiences with the police (though limited,as i am a law abiding young lady!),i have to say,i really hate the police and the way they conduct themselves.but that's a huge subject to get into.and to be honest after the last couple of days,i don't have the energy!
in the end we basically got home just after midnight.it took us around 8 hours to get home in total.the dogs were left in the dark with no food and only a little water,as we did not intend to be out so long.it felt so good to get home and see them.it had been a truly shit afternoon.i have to say though,mikee kept me together.i was so angry and upset,and mikee handled the situation(and me!)like a pro,calm and collected.i think i probably fell in love with him all over again!

today has been hectic too,though not physically so.it has turned out to be the insurance company's fault completely.someone had fucked up at their end,and thankfully we are 100% blameless!but it is all very complicated and they are trying to shift the blame anywhere but to themselves.meanwhile our car is in some lonely carpark in pembroke,racking up £25 a day(as well as the £150 impoundment fee).apparently we will not have to pay any of this.but nothing surprises me,and i won't hold my breath on that one.and if that is the case we don't have the money (times like this i wish i earned a hell of a lot more!)to go and get our car.and it s simply not our fault.i have to watch i don't get angry again.

i was due to start up my driving lessons tonight with my new instructor.i have postponed this simply because my brain feels fried,wow,it really does!luckily don (the new instructor) seemed sympathetic and we have rescheduled for wednesday.i hate having to cancel things,and i'm already a little nervous about restarting my lessons(it's weird,i know i'm nearly two thirds of the way through,but this month off and change of teachers makes me feel like i'm starting all over again!)but i know i would have had a hard time concentrating tonight.

oh yeah,and yesterday was meant to be our 2 year anniversary afternoon out.bleh.

our car was taken by the police

we are sorting it tomorrow.

i fucking hate the police.

friends

fuck em

kellan loves animals...

yay :)
One of the stars of 'Twilight' shows his concern for our four-legged friends by supporting World Animal Week.

Kellan Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen in the 2008 film 'Twilight' and in the soon-to-be-released 'New Moon,' has joined Brooke Shields, Kristin Davis, Christina Applegate and Joanna Krupa in signing the "Animals Matter to Me" petition for a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare.

The purpose of the document, which urges the United Nations to adopt an international agreement on the welfare of animals, is to raise awareness about animal welfare issues during World Animal Week from October 4 to October 10, 2009.

"Support from the entertainment industry is vital in helping to bring attention to animal issues on a global scale. We are thrilled that these stars aligned themselves with WSPA to ask for a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare. Whether providing comfort and companionship in our homes or supplying crucial labor to support families in need, animals matter to each one of us. Our celebrity supporters understand this important connection between animals and people," says Cecily West, executive director of WSPA USA.

The public can join these celebrities by signing the "Animals Matter to Me" petition online at www.animalsmatterusa.org.

blah blah blah to you

i'm guessing that i'm not one of the most popular girls around.and i'm beginning to wonder whether it's all worth the effort at all.the only girl that has ever truly understood me is saffron,and i really miss her.i don't want to be the kind of girl that is all about her boyfriend,i want my own social life and circle of friends.but i think maybe i'm just too loner-ish for it to really work.

and hey,can you guess i've been stood up?well kinda.if you call not getting in touch to arrange a night out.you know when you keep pushing to meet,and then think that you will leave it to the other person...and you don't hear anything?i feel like a child for taking it personally.

and i do think back to last year when i went to the london convention and had a circle of friends.cardiff friends there were jo and lewis.and i finally got to meet and hang out with andy and rose.but this year i'm not going.this does indeed suck.but it seemed all odds were stacked against it.i guess it's something that needs proper arrangement in good time...ah well.

tonight was busy,i customised 7 journals/notebooks and made 5 cards(halloween mainly,but one alice in wonderland).i've decided now i'm going to concentrate on animal themed items,seen as it is all for a VEGAN fair,haha.and mikee thinks i should make some suitable for men to.whichever is very true!the free journal i am donating to the prize draw that day will definitely need to be unisex,because you don't know who will win.

i was really touched when i arrived home from work today.mikee had brought me presents and a card,part as a thank you for his birthday present(how silly is that?little darlin!),part as a 2 year anniversary present.we can't remember exactly when our anniversary is but i think we're gonna celebrate it this weekend.anyway,mikee brought me two dvds:haunting in connecticut(saw it in cinema ages ago,so creepy!and the eyelids...*puke*) and a film called live feed,which sounds very hostel/saw,he also brought me the latest cd by bat for lashes,two suns.i adore bat for lashes and love this album!and he also brought me some blank notebooks from poundland for me to customise,bless him.i was so taken aback,and it really made me feel good.surprise presents are awesome!

i'm meant to be going out for a drink thursday,i really hope so...i need a good night out!!!!!!
and i have a new(and as yet unopened)bottle of mickey finn's raspberry sour...mmmmmm,over 10% goodness.

meh bah piff piss eee sigh

SO much to do for the vegan fair coming up...and i feel like all the stuff i make is a botch job.please don't get me wrong,i'm not feeling sorry for myself,just wondering how i am always so sloppy at stuff.

Tuesday 22 September 2009

i think that

mikee may now love me even more...i purchased him a netbook for his upcoming birthday(12th october,so it's a very early present!)...and as it is direct debit each month and spread over a year and a half it didn't cost much at all(yeah yeah,i know by the end of it i will probably have paid for it twice over,but life's too short to think like that i think!)i love 3 mobile network,it's the only company that will give me contracts(thanks to my beyond lousy credit rating)!

ps. and yes,i am so lame i JUST realised why the bold option never works on my posts...got it now though!

the long weekend in wolves...kinda in bullet points

but not.
thursday.
before we headed to wolves for my dad's birthday,we had a vets appointment at 9.30 for bambi and his legion of fleas.everybody in the pdsa waiting room was laughing at our little agressive papillon,who insisted on barking manically at every other dog there,most of whom were a lot bigger than him,but also plainly did not give a shit about a tiny papillon's vendetta against them.bambi also got to meet a long lost twin.an elderly lady told us that her dog was the absolute image of bambi,and said she would go and get him from the car...we were then introduced to chinny the 13 year old long haired chihuahua!oh my,i adored him!he was a tiny little chihuahua who DID ineed look like bambi,but with smaller features and huge buggy chihuahua eyes.bambi did complain(aka.bark)a little at chinny,but i think he held off a bit as chinny was even smaller than him and he did look like a long lost relative of bambi.i fell in love,the little one was shaking like a leaf and she told us he had kidney(or liver?)problems:( we did see her again before we left and she was beside herself as they had to take chinny in for a few days as he was so ill.she looked so upset:( it really made me want a tiny chihuahua like little chinny.
eventually we got seen by the vet who made us giggle as she called us in by actually calling out bambi's name as..."bambi brown".we never considered that bambi had a surname!sounded cute!bambi was seated on the table and examined,which he didn't like.he tried to nip the lady vet a couple of times,but i think it was just a threat,his teeth didn't make contact.she confirmed he had an allergy to the fleas which was why he had lost weight and fur,and his skin was all sore looking and pink.she was going to give him an injection for the allergy,but luckily for bambi they were out of stock,and she had to prescribe bambi tablets instead.she also sold us some super awesome flea treatment called stronghold,which is just as awesome as frontline and seems to have worked.hooray!bambi was weighed before any treatments were prescribed and he weighs in at an amazing 4kg!he is tiny!apparently that is around the wieght of 4 bags of sugar!our little tiny baby!i think we need to keep up with our hotdog diet for bambi...it was such a relief to know that once bambi's treatments kicked in that he would be okay.we've been pretty worried about him.

after we had taken bambi to the vets,we headed home,picked bela up(who was offish with us for a while after we had been to the vets,he had not been happy about being left alone)and our bags for the weekend ahead and headed for wolverhampton.the drive wasn't too bad,and i got in a little nap too:)
the evening was spent seeing various people at my dad's,as they had come to wish him a happy birthday.i ended up popping some money in his card,he's hard to buy for as he is totally unmaterialistic,and he always says not to get him anything(though i think most parents say that!)...i thought he could buy himself a drink(or few!)when he was out next.his partner joan's family came along for a bit,and it was lovely to see them,though i'm not the greatest socialiser and am always happy to see guests go!!!i got to see my brothers and my beautiful niece and goddaughter jasmine.jasmine is such a pleasure to be around,we are all so lucky.she had everyone in stitches as she presented my dad with all his presents,literally one by one.i wish i had taken a video of it,as she would go back and forth from the giftbag my brother had brought with him,giving my dad his presents individually(including 6 packs of pork scratchings...my dad's not vegan as you can tell!)it was a really nice night,but i think we were all pretty tired and glad to go to bed at the end of the night!


(my dad and jasmine)^

friday.
we did something that we have only done once before,which is to go shopping around wolverhampton town centre.we both didn't have much look in the charity shops,though we did visit "fantasy attic" in this little secondhand shop we know of,where loads of horror and sci-fi films and memorabilia are sold.in other words,mikee's dream shop!though as mikee is selling all his film memorabilia(he wants to concentrate solely on the vhs and dvd side of it)he didn't end up buying much,just "razorblade smile" on dvd.i splurged in poundland on some awesome halloween decorations,and we both stocked up on good vegan food at the local health shops!yummy yummy.this was the first time i really did find wolverhampton pretty shit as a town to walk around.we just didn't really see a good side to it that day i guess.wolverhampton is of course in my heart,and still my hometown,but i think especially as my family all live outside the centre of it now,i just don't have any sentimental attachment to the city itself.
once we had popped back to get the boys we went for a walk in the local baggeridge park/reserve.i wanted us to have a walk around as i knew mikee would love it.but i think we were both pretty satisified to sit on the "highest point" and look at the beautiful view.on the way up there we tried to encourage bambi and bela to have a dip in the lake.bela wasn't keen but bambi went for it!he'd seen a feather in the middle of the lake and wanted to go get it,but we wouldn't let him,he's only a small doggy,and it was a big,dirty lake!besides there were dragonflies around which i hate,so i didn't want to be around there too long!we were proud of our adventerous papillon though!





it was lovely to see my mom,and i used the opportunity to try on my newly purchased dress from the charity shop near where she lives.it was a small size 10 so i knew it wouldn't fit.but i didn't think that i would quite literally get stuck in it!i was so close to calling mikee to ask him to come cut me out of the damn thing!but i sat down and wriggled around a bit and managed to release myself from the demon size 10 checkered dress!i was planning to diet a little anyway after the pregnancy query a few days ago.but to get small enough to fit that would mean dropping probably 2 dress sizes,and i don't think i need to lose that much!so i think i will sell it on ebay.which sucks as i adore the dress,it's so cute and the material is a cool nylon type mix!feels kinda crinkly!?anywho,once i was free from that drama,we all watched frasier for a bit and then mikee and i made a move.
friday night was just the four of us(mikee and me and the boys!) as joan had gone out and my dad had to stay at my nan's overnight(she is now too ill to be left alone,it's so sad).we visited my dad at my nan's for a good hour or so and then ehaded back to his where we had nice food and watched an old favourite film:"buster" starring the brilliant phil collins!totally a film from our childhoods(odd i guess as it is a grown up film!i guess our dad both made us watch it!)and pretty good even now!

saturday.
visiting the local carboot sales filled a lot of saturday up,but i didn't appreciate the 6.30am start!it was mikee's idea so we didn't miss the bargains...i found lots!mikee didn't.maybe it was payback for the early start idea?!we love walking around the carboot sales,and when you find treasures for unbelievably cheap prices,well you can't beat the feeling!i will post later with pictures of my long weekend's finds!there was a tiny downer to the morning.i was looking at this woman at the carboot sale out in staffordshire,and i was thinking that i recognised her from somewhere...and then it came to me,as i then noticed the man she was with was looking at me pretty shitty.it was my scumbag exes cousin and his wife and kids.eugh.i was worried that he would start something,and it was a very unwelcome reminder.luckily nothing happened.mikee always reassures me he can stick up for us,but i don't even want it to come to that!i hate no-one like i do my ex...and the same goes for his family.ick indeed.very shitty reminder of my past,but ah well,their problem i guess and not mine.i don't even know what they were doing there...it was a long way from the hole that is tipton!anywho,after the carboot we headed back to my dad's as it was only 10am!we had a little breakfast and watched some tv with joan and our little monsters.joan then had work to go to and we popped back out to the afternoon carboot sale!i had arranged with my brother for us to go to his place to see him and his family(his wife and jasmine)at 4pm.well i was so tired and felt pretty ill so had a little lie down.(ok so mikee and i had also had an argument,so the time alone was much needed!).i didn't even think i would fall asleep...i woke up at 4.50pm,and mikee was lying next to me on the pullout bed,dead to the world.so full of apologies i called my brother up to explain and apologise.we decided sunday would probably to best to try for the visit!i felt so guilty but it was a genuine mistake.plus i felt pretty ill too.the rest of the evening we spent just relaxing with my dad and joan at theirs,and then we popped out for a drink at the pub we have been to before,which is just outside wolverhampton city centre.they have live music there and it is generally a nice atmosphere.afterwards everyone was a little hungry and we popped to get some indian takeaway.by this time i felt really unwell,all my bones were aching and i knew i just needed bed.so,totally unlike me i went straight up to bed,while my dad,joan and mikee sat down eating their lovely food and watching buster(again!).but little bambi kept me company,while bela stayed downstairs scoffing any indian food that was given to him!

my dad looks super interested in what mikee has to say^



sunday.
i woke up feeling pretty darn shitty again,but thought that i could probably have a go at getting tattooed!i was booked in with drew at 11am at painted lady tattoo again,to get some of the colour done on my feet.i lasted 40 minutes,no joke.even less than last time!i guess the combined pain with my feeling unwell just made it as unbearable as it was.i felt so shitty about it and couldn't stop apologising to drew...he was fine about it,but it didn't stop me feeling bad.we decided to just try similar length sessions each time until we're done.at least the lion has his black and brown shading almost done!let me warn you...the feet hurt.every part of the foot you think would hurt does...i hate it!serious!
after that we headed back to wolverhampton to see my mom before it was time to head back to cardiff.the traffic from birmingham was awful and it took us about an hour and a half to do a half hour journey!but we had a lovely veggie carvery at the pub near my mom's and a nice chat:)after dropping my mom home we drove back to my dads,where we had a cup of tea,saw some of rocky with him(my dad loves the rocky films!)and then headed back to cardiff.it was an okay drive,but it's always sad to leave my family behind.i hope this changes someday.i love cardiff.but i need to see my family more.
we got back just after 8,did a quick clean of the flat(to make sure there were no fleas hiding anywhere!)and finally got to sit down and relax!phew!good weekend but tiring!

and now it's monday and i'm off work ill.i don't feel as bad as i did saturday but i just couldn't handle work today.oh well,work tomorrow i guess...

and here's some more photos!like you haven't seen more than enough!this weekend i managed to pull some stunning faces,take a look...oh wow,i'm so lame.

haughty^

awkward/ugly big hair head pose^

now this one,i purposely did ugly for...thank god!!!!imagine if that was an accident...!^

you feel sorry for mikee?^




more photos to come....(i think this post is long enough!)

Wednesday 16 September 2009

first day off today

of the 3 days i booked off work.it's my dad's 58th birthday tomorrow so we're going up to wolves until sunday.can't wait to see all my family!and i'm sure we will do a little car booting on the weekend too...plus i am booked in with drew to get my feet coloured.eeep,wonder if we'll manage it?!i do doubt it if it is as bad as the lining.drew said the lining would be worse,but the small amount of shading he did also killed.but maybe that was just my body telling me i'd had enough for the time being?!we shall see anyway,excited to get them finished!
anywho,today we had a busy old time.first of all we set out to go pick a shelf up from st. athans in barry,south wales.i won it on ebay and it is super cute.pretty sure i've seen it before in ikea and loved it...

it took us around an hour to get there,i didn't realise barry was pretty big and that st.athans was a bit of a distance!but we got there okay and picked it up so i was very pleased.after that we dropped the boys back home and went to visit mikee's mom in cwmbran.cymbran is pretty quaint,and has a nice small town feel about it.after we had spent a couple of hours at mikee's mom's(it was around 3 at this point)we went for a little walk around cwmbran,with the idea of getting a bolognese pasty to eat from holland and barratt,but they had run out,so we had to go get something from asda.and there we FINALLY found the "pure" line of cheese slices and spread("pure" is vegan friendly),we've been keeping our eyes out for ages!i would say the thing i miss the most about being vegan is cheese,so i was chuffed to see asda stocked it.before that i had also managed to buy some craft supplies from the market there,i LOVE craft shops!it's all so shiny,sparkly and tempting!
by the time we had been shopping in asda i think both mikee and i were pooped and just wanted to eat!so we drove to a park nearby and ate our just-purchased feast on one of the benches (which the local kids had obviously set alight,and scrawled on,in the past...idiots!).i wish i had taken a photo of our impromptu picnic but had assumed my phone wouldn't do it as the battery was dying(i was wrong,as it was only later the phone did refuse to take photos because of mentioned low battery!)...we had some yummy food though between us."pure" cheese slices with french stick and pickle,mediterranean sea salt baked crisps,as well as some indian treats such as pakora and spring rolls from the curry counter in asda.i tried the "pure" cheese spread and fuck,it tasted like icecream!mikee had told me it did...and it really did!i didn't get it and i sure as hell didn't like it!you buy fake cheese spread...and get a weird icecream flavoured spread?!mikee loved it,i didn't.wasn't it meant to be cream cheese?!weird!i don't want icecream flavoured cheese,even if it is vegan friendly!
after we had eaten,we walked over to the river next to the carpark.it really is beautiful down there,so i took a few pictures.mikee wanted to take one of me,but the battery died while he was getting me into position(sounds rude!)..pictures that people take of me generally look awful,so i guess i was saved by the low battery!


Tuesday 15 September 2009

i'm not sure if i'm gutted...

but the man behind the counter at the local corner shop asked me if i was pregnant.

i think it may have been from the other day,i TOLD mikee i looked really chubby and he assured me i didn't...

i obviously did.

but no,i think it'll take a lot more than that to get pregnant.

kanye west,you are a douche and a half

so,the whole kanye west throws a tantrum at the VMA's...what a prick.seriously,how small must his dick be?i hate his music,i don't really know taylor swift's music much to be honest,but it doesn't take a taylor fan to see what a total idiot kanye was to do that to her.so there she is saying how she never thought she would get an award and how amazing it was...and then old wanker-face kanye gets on,spouts some shit about beyonce (who to her credit,looked mortified) like he doesn't realise she has good ole jay z and wouldn't want him anyway...and totally turns her moment into his.and she's only a kid too.kanye,you are a full-blown douche.pickin' on teenage girls...pink put it all brilliantly.

"So what are you gonna sing for us this morning?"
"please dont leave me"
"i wont...what are you gonna sing for us this morning?"
hehehe,he made me giggle :)
this comment on the video did too...lame-o:
Pink better not confuse the rock/pop world with the rap world though...it's not a game
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.OH PURLEASE!"IT'S NOT A GAME!"DON'T WET YOUR PANTS MISTER RAP FAN.makes me laugh how they take themselves so seriously.lollama.

anyway,on sadder news...

patrick swayze died:( i didn't know until i got up at 6am this morning(couldn't sleep)and saw it online.he was an awesome actor.his character in ghost was amazing,donnie darko too.


but to end this post on a more cheerful note,i sold two more journals yesterday,so pleased about that:)

we should all treasure what we have,because life is just too short.

i <3 superdrug

i need to dye my hair...desperately!and it's quite hard to find a decent hairdye that is not tested on animals.i used to just get superdrug's own brand,and assumed i could no longer do this

for once,it is very true that to assume makes an ass out of u and me...lame.anywho,this made me smile:

"SUPERDRUG'S CHARTER AGAINST ANIMAL TESTING
We and our own brand manufacturers do not commission animal testing on any Superdrug own brand products or ingredients. Our own brand cosmetics, toiletry and household ranges have not been tested on animals by us or by our own brand manufacturers."

love these

silversun pickups

and and and



not sure if i like yet...

dexter season 4


we just watched episode one.which seems odd as apparently it doesn't premiere until september 27th in the us,and of course the uk are so so SO far behind...but nevertheless,we just saw it.and it was amazing.it didn't disappoint.it's just a shame the books got worse each time after the first and second (which blew me away,love them).ah well.michael c. hall is still as awesome as ever,and there was a lot of black humour hidden away in this episode.and it was a little risque too,like in a sexy way!oooh eeee!hehe.but yeah,it was awesome.and mikee and i both gasped at the ending of the episode.can't wait to see how it continues.

friday night

i met up with one of my favourite people!jayne worked at cardiff women's aid not long ago and was "let go".it's a very long and messy story,and will only remind me of how angry it makes me.anyway,we hadn't met up for a few weeks,so it was nice to catch up with her.we went for a drink outside a bar in town called pulse.apparently it's a gay bar,but i wouldn't know as i still know very little about cardiff!i only had a glass of coke as i was broke,but it was so lovvely to catch up with jayne.she had brought me some flowers too!i was really touched,so thoughtful of her!i didn't get any photos unfortunately but will have to try to next time.i did take a couple photos in the toilets(how very me!)because i loved the decor.it was a little rough round the edges,but they had loads of mirrors in there,which made for an interesting view when you looked in any one of them!how very novel to see yourself from the front and back!

from lovely park to busy road

they have started work on building a huge main road through bute park in cardiff.it's tragic.
