Rollerskates, Cupcakes and a Streaker
Well, a rather fab time was had on Saturday, with London Rollergirls' A and B teams lining up to play the Birmingham Blitzdames and the Leeds Rollerdolls respectively.
They really were fantastic games to watch, with London Brawling and Brawl Saints both emerging victorious, hurrah!
And.... we had our first streaker. We have now officially arrived :)

OMG, Faith No More!
An old friend from college, Kerry, offered me her spare ticket for the entirely sold out Faith No More gig at Brixton last night. Not only was it lovely to see Kerry again, the gig was completely amazing ( Read more... ) -
Do Bee Careful...
I was merrily zooming down the hill on my bicycle this morning in the sunshine, when I was suddenly smacked in the face with a bumblebee! I'm sure the bee was more traumatised by the whole experience than I was, but it did actually hurt. Bumblebees are surprisingly solid little buggers at high velocity.
I hope the bee is okay... -
Work in Progress
Well, I'm kind of getting somewhere with my mannequin head. Turns out that spray painting is a lot more difficult than it looks...
Having finally found a spray paint colour that looked vaguely human, if a weensy bit goth (Montana White/Orange), I plonked the head down outside and proceeded. Pale is good, right? Nicola is my favourite member of Girls ( Read more... ) -
Sunshine, and a Good Book
Spent the past week lying in the sunshine in Tenerife, which I thought I'd totally hate, being the offspring of a ginger and Scottish person and therefore not entirely sunshine-friendly. Also, I've never been on a cheap package holiday thingy before and I though it would be a concrete dump full of lardy british blokes sporting Union Jack shorts. ( Read more... ) -
I am going on holiday...
Woohoooooo!
That is all. -
Things I Have Learned
It is very difficult to find flesh coloured spray paint. -
How to Get Ahead
Or a head, even...
Yes, I am aware that was totally lame :)
So, I wasn't at all happy with the photography I did of my little hats. I didn't like the background, as it just gets in the way and, whilst I like my little glass hatstand/candlestick, I think the hats really need to be seen in context. Next stop, mannequin purchase...
Turns out it's quite ( Read more... ) -
Summer, Almost
Well, Saturday was rather splendid, weatherwise. So, thinks me, perhaps I should finally sort out my garden. Sadly, I have somewhat ignored it for the past two years, as I was away in sunny Los Angeles last summer, and the summer before that it didn't really need any work.
Anyway, my mother has been mentioning that perhaps I ought to cut back the ( Read more... ) -
Mad as a...
Hatter of course!
I have, finally, taken some pictures of my recent handywork. They are as good as I can get them using the worlds lamest photo editing program, together with a computer powered by elderly, arthritic hamsters. Enjoy :)
