Just thought I would do a brief post on what I've been reading, listening too and getting up to the past few weeks.
I kick started book club with my friends again and chose a nice easy read to start with- The Death and Life of Charlie St Cloud, I hope it's a good one that we can have a good debate about. I just finished reading Sixteen Shades of Crazy by Rachel Trezise and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It really summed up what it is like to live in a small valley town, bleak and boring! I saw a lot of myself and my surroundings in this book, you should give it a try.
This is my new favourite bag that I got on ebay for £20, it is HUGE and looks like it will last a long time. It does smell a bit funny though, wonder what it was stored with! I think I'm going to use this loads, I might even get it in another colour.
I had to have a tacky phone cover, I was going to go for something pink with Hello Kitty stuck on it but I saw this black one and thought people at work might take me more seriously with this one. Tacky but not too tacky?
My friend Chloe made my brothers birthday cake and it tasted so good. The base was a red velvet cake with white chocolate icing and the cupcake on top was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting mmmm!
These are the two albums that I haven't stopped playing recently. Patrick Wolf can do no wrong in my eyes and his latest album Lupercalia is perfection, The City is my summer anthem and he should have had a Mercury nomination for this.
The Miles Kane album was an impulse buy, I picked up the Nicki Minaj album which was in a 2 for £10 deal in HMV but didn't know what else to get. I took a gamble on the Miles Kane album, I was obsessed with the song Put Your Dukes Up John by a band he used to be in when I was about 18 so I hoped his solo work would be as good. It's a great album, real 60s feel and I think you can pick it up for about £4.99, bargain!
I went to a cpd23 meet up in Milgi last night, it was a great chance to chat to other people who work in libraries across Wales. I had a gorgeous lavender lemonade and relaxed in the yurt which is out at the back of Milgi. It's a fab place to visit if you are ever in Cardiff.
