Christmas and New Year
And it's the last day of the year already. Yikes ( Read more... ) -
Life
So what's been up with me lately? It seems as if there has been loads, but at the same time it seems a little boring or whatever. Whenever someone asks what's happening in my life, I always answer with "Same ol'". It means I end up not really talking to mates unless we arrange to go out. When we are together, we have loads to talk about, but I end ( Read more... ) -
Quicky Post Before I Finish my Lunch
Yum. A bunch of veggies (courgettes, onions, peppers), a can of chickpeas, a little cumin and ground pepper mixed with guacamole and a sprinkling of cheese makes for a rather yummy lunch. And I have a butternut squash and some sweet potatoes, so tonight/tomorrow that, with more cumin (I love the stuff) will be turned into some gorgeous soup for ( Read more... ) -
JSNI Events
Another month with no posting >_< I visit here everyday, read everyone's entries, but never get around to posting. If I'm like this here, I don't know how I'm going to keep up with a blog when I get my new professional site up and running! I'll need to schedule time for it!
Main fun things this past month have been to do with the Japan Society of ( Read more... ) -
Holy Hell!
Is Doctor Who really still a family show? The past few episodes were getting up there, but the last scene of yesterday's? The average adult is going to freak out to hell from that ( Read more... ) -
JSNI, Cats and Weddings
The Japan Society of NI were able to raise £11k after all the events, which was absolutely amazing.
While I was making paper cranes for the JSNI events, Merlin (iPad autocorrect is trying to change her name to 'merkin' ><) dived into the bag and tried to play with the cranes. So I had to scarifice one in order to prevent her from runining them all ( Read more... ) -
Fundraising
Past two weeks have been pretty hectic, but thankfully have gotten loads sorted. Have brushed up on Photoshop, learned InDesign, and am a good bit through training in Illustrator. So hopefully from there I'll be able to really push my skills forward. And, yay, census form is sorted ( Read more... ) -
Snore...
I'm so wiped tonight. Not sure why. Got home from our wee knitting group and as soon as I took off my coat I felt like going to sleep. Was able to wake up for a little bit to sort some work out quickly, but unfortunately now after dinner, it's hitting me again -_-
But I finished my first knitting project that wasn't a scarf or headband! In other ( Read more... ) -
Over for Another Year
Christmas has once again over far too fast. But it was great while it lasted. We had one of my brothers, Justin, and Leanne (Barry's sister) over for the holidays. The dinner was gorgeous. Whoever said too many cooks spoil the broth. It's usually just me and Barry cooking, but Justin (who has worked in restaurants for years and loves cooking) ( Read more... ) -
Brrrrrrr
The temperature hasn't gotten above -10C over the past few days, and goes down to -13/14C at night. I actually think this is the first time I remember it being this cold; normally a cold winter here means the temperature hovers around the 0C mark. 5C is average for December. In other parts of Northern Ireland it's even come close to -20C, a ( Read more... )
