101 Dreams - Dream 7


Dream 7 - Visit NY.
I think it's one of the few places on my list that James would also really like to visit. :P It does look pretty awesome. I am not a HUGE fan of crowded areas, I really didn't like walking around London, but I am hoping NY is a little less busy :P Because it looks so cool!

101 Dreams - Dream 8

Dream 8 - Open my own Cafe.
I know a lot of work would be needed, and that is precisely why it is a dream. I enjoy thinking about all the different yummy goodness I would bake, and how to decorate my little cafe. :) I would obviously serve tea and coffee (all the different sorts I can get!), water (flat and sparkly), yummy juice, hot chocolate (with ALL the toppings!!) and milkshakes for those hot days. I would get up every morning and bake, I'm sure after a while it would be a tiring way to wake up...but for the moment waking up to a day of baking and watching people enjoy the baking sounds so wonderful! What would I bake? I don't know...cupcakes, rice-crispy cakes, pancakes, macaroons (if I could learn how to make them), eclairs (ditto), cookies, scones...all sorts! Mmmm, chocolatey, coffee flavoured, fruity...all sorts! The mugs should be cute but mis-matched...something similar to the mugs in Central Perk...but cuter! There would be cute centrepieces on every table, some comfy sofas and armchairs and a lovely atmosphere! I'd want it to be happy and bright in the summer and cozy and warm in the winter, AND I'd love to decorate it with my own artwork and whatnot that customers could buy if they liked. :) It's a lovely little dream to escape to every now and then.

(so so cute!!)

Tidying

I've been tidying my room...and taking photos because we're going to sell all my furnitures. So far I have tidied around certain items and moved the mess out of the photo frame. :P Not exactly tidying...although my room looks quite tidy in the shots of my furnitures. :)
I also decided I should throw away things that I do not need which are taking up space, such as my 3D shapes made in 8th grade...they are a good 7 years old, I think they can go. BUT I didn't want to throw them out without some sort of record of them, so voila! Ma shapes!
I then SMASHED THEM! Muahahahahaha! :D It was fun. Smash smash smash!
And proof that my room is now a tip...
Lovely I know....I think I may be getting somewhere...slowly...very slowly.

101 Dreams - Dream 2

A while ago (I think a little less than a year..due to birthday present relatedness) I blogged about a 101 Dreams book. So far I have filled 51 of those dream spots with, well, dreams! And I thought it was about time I shared some of them on this blog...obviously not in order, due to the fact I am starting with 2, but as I feel like it, or find interesting photos or info for my dreams.

Dream 2 - do a World Tour.
I don't want to go everywhere in the world...but I would love to circle the Earth visiting all sorts of wonderful and interesting countries and cities...some of my later dreams are just the countries and cities I'd like to visit...so world tour could fulfil many of my dreams...and I will post beautiful pictures of why I want to visit certain cities and countries when I feel so inclined. :) For now...I dream of travelling the World.

Cake Stands

Beautiful Cake stands from Secondome (I don't know what the name means...but it sounds a bit like second home...hehe!). I love cakes and pretty things so these are just fab! :D Imagine sitting on a table, with the sun shining through the window and some beautiful, colourful and yummy cakes in these....so pretty. :)

Webcam

I did some drawings! I would really like to draw more, but there are way too many essays to be getting done. I'm hoping to take some time off to do some fun stuff soon. :)
And then decided to draw myself. I never really thought I was good at drawing real things, so it's not something I do often. It's not bad, it's not great...hehe. :)

Summer shoes

I am loving that big chunky wedges seem to be in fashion this spring/summer. I love wedges, they are SO much more comfy to walk around in compared to heels, but also make your legs look good. :P I REALLY want the above pari from Monsoon, and the below pair from Esprit. The other three from Asos (1, 2, 3) are also pretty cool, but I am not as in love with them.
Looking forward to lovely warm weather (and a new wardrobe to match? :P).

Maths within Coral

I finished my summative! YAY! Now like 4 more? And a dissertation? Plus the presentation on my Maths project this friday...yay! I started research for the Maths project this afternoon. My initial idea was the Maths of Art...or something along those lines...so I was googling about and thought of spirographs, totally awesome stuff! There seems to be quite a bit of maths behind them as well, and I think it would be a fun way to teacher old kids maths...but anyway, I was googling pictures to make my presentation pretty (like you do) and clicked on this maths looking one, as I thought it may be useful for explaining the maths...and oh my! It led me to an awesome blog. And so I started browsing the blog and came across an awesome video from TED (well two, but I'll share just this one for now).


I suppose it may not be TOTALLY interesting to people who absolutely hate maths, but if I enjoyed it then it can't be that bad! Hope you enjoyed! I have so much I want to talk and write about for Maths now its all arrrrrhhhheeeee! :)

Rainbow House

I love sunshine. It's a lovely beautifully sunny day here. Sunshine makes me work, get more done, feel happier and more colourful. I do, when it comes to interiors like the blacks and whites, but when the sun shines I do tend to take a fancy to bright clean whites and joyful colours. This Rainbow House by Ab Rogers Design meets all my expectations for sunny interiors. :) It is gorgeous, clean, open and bright. How can you not fall in love with it?
You can watch a cute video tour of the house here.

Lovely Day

It was such a lovely day today! It has been beautiful weather recently: blue skies, sunshine, flowers! Lovely! For some reason sunshine/summer/spring makes me want to eat fruit and veg. I made the mistake of food shopping yesterday, came home with all sorts of healthy stuff. So unlike me. I got cherry tomatoes for snacks, a melon (I squealed inside when I saw melons!), ciabatta to make Edward style sandwiches...just generally not totally unhealthy stuff. So my lunches have been looking good. :)

Flowers have been coming out, and since it was so lovely today and we have the afternoon off I thought I would take a little walk into town and take some photos on the way home. Here are some of my favourites:
AND, once I was home Miriam noticed a hot air balloon outside...I got super excited, grabbed my camera and ran outside without shoes...I love warm weather! The balloon landed in the Sands, was so cool. I took photos obviously!
I then did work! (I know, amazing.) and then went to watch Adrienne belly dance, she was pretty good! Hehe. :)

Was a pretty awesome day. :)
