If I were to tell you my high school was a ‘specialist sports college’, I’d sound overbearingly sporty. I’ll omit the facts that I hated PE, was in the lowest ability set and left proud of my E grade, bringing the snooty sports rep down 😉

Haha, I quite agree! We had one at high school and they made us climb it again and again in PE. I would rather have been playing football, and that’s saying something!

Pretty, delicate bird. You know, I don’t think I, nor my friends, ever climbed trees. Possibly we were discouraged from trying. Perhaps we should make a pact to try that too, if we’re fortunate enough to meet 😉 though given my performance on climbing walls, it could be interesting!

They were fun! When I was at college, there was a park directly opposite the site. We couldn’t resist a go on the swings and springy things now and again. In fact I think the college once sent out an e-mail telling everyone to stay off because students were using them more than the children 😛

I was plucked out of classes to do my own thing…[Read more]

Haha, maybe we should! I’m sure it’d be fun, at least once I’d stopped clinging onto you for dear life and refusing to look out!

Sensational! I love the light in the sky. It’s one of those things I always wanted to do as a kid, but now probably wouldn’t. Some of the baskets just don’t look very big! But it’s always a treat to see them flying in the sky.

Yes, I know the feeling! Hats have the same effect. I look cartoonish enough as it is 😛

Ahh, the perfect image for today’s thundery downpours. I find I look ridiculous in most pairs of sunglasses, but I’d like some in this colour regardless!

Haha, eee, the post I’ve been waiting for all month! What an aborable character! And I totally haven’t just spent an age watching cute seal videos…

Enjoy the rest of the long weekend!

Haha! Nah, you’ll have to try harder 😉

Lovely to hear you! Is there any chance you could post audio every day? 😉 And you definitely deserve a doodlewash cape!

Lush apple! I grew up wanting to be a teacher, so they have done something right – I was very lucky with them, mostly. It soon dawned on me, though, that I could never do what they do!

I love ladybirds (ladybug does make a lot more sense!) It looks like one of them’s trying to make a swift exit – yep, sounds like courtship to me!

Ooh, it doesn’t half look tasty! It’s nearly the time of year when I treat myself to a burger, and go about it in a similarly uncouth manner. Yum!

Beautiful lantern! They are wonderful things indeed – we’ve quite a few of them on the coast here, mostly converted into accommodation, but some still work. I like the doodlewasher metaphor, but now would also quite like to see an actual lighthouse giving out different colours!

I can’t believe it’s nearly July again, only fifty days!

At first I thought you wrote ‘quick 2-minute doodlewash’ and I was caught totally off-guard there! Maybe it’s a bit late 😛 What a beauty! It was scorching here over the long weekend, and I spent some time in the garden – I originally went out there with headphones, but quickly ditched them to listen to the birds instead. Blissful is the word!

Ha, nor me! I used my trainers to run away from the ball in school!

Yay most definitely for traine-I mean, sneakers 😉 I wish I had some green beauties like this! My brown shoes used to get similar “old man” comments from my friends. Bah! They’re comfy, and that’s all that matters!

Love the perspective and always happy to see the BIG straw make a reappearance! Sweet tea sounds… interesting, but I shan’t knock it until I’ve tried it.

A lovely start to the day, at 4 in the afternoon in this instance – I love a croissant! I usually have crumpets for breakfast – they’re good, but not quite as special. Such a treat!

I love bizarre dreams, and thinking about what they might mean. According to the dream dictionary, giving a speech is ‘a sign that you need to vocalise your…[Read more]
