I should get used to the facts that Tuesdays are gonna be shit days, Mondays are just too awesome to miss out on. We had more sea shantying, folk dancing, and general yeeeeeeah-ing.
Though I've never much like Tuesdays anyway, when I was young I used to not like them because thats when Elk had her swimming lessons (I think mine were Wednesday maybe, coz I was in the older group?). So I had to go with mum to the swimming pool and wait around sooooo bored for ages. I kinda miss my Monday swimming though, that was racing - used to win gold medals for front crawl. Mmm. And then Thursdays were trampolining. Friday Rainbows / Brownies / Guides... and all the rest dotted about. Army, senior section Guides, explorer Scouts... all on certain days. So I guess now my drinking and sea shanty listening and folk dancing is the new swimming. Luckily last night I did not swim, just paddled. The harbour may not be the nicest place to swim, especially not when drunk.
ANYWAY....
Yes, hangover. And like this I'll probably fail to work, so I'll write an entry on time again. The others (Silje, Vera & Vera's friend from Norway) have gone to Saint Micheals Mount today, I'm giving it a miss since the electrition is here, sorting stuff out.
BORING, BEX, THIS DRIVVEL IS BORING.
FAYE IS BACK IN A WEEK! 6 DAYS TO BE EXACT! How excellent. Falmouth is definately getting more crowded again, I think the Foundation freshers have arrived. And only 10 more days in which to complete this summer sketchbook.... as long as I don't get too distracted I should be fine, just got the back to do, and I have stuff lined up for every page so it's just a matter of drawing it all and such.
The long spread on the left is mine, the other is Silje's. They're longer than the main chunk of the upstairs landing. I liiiiike.I'm pretty proud of the book, though looking back to the front it's crazy to see how the summer just flew. And now it's autumn. Thats a word I never used to be able to spell.... autumn. And beautiful. Because was a fine word to remember, because Miss Barnard taught us a way of remembering it, and wrote it on the blackboard "big elephants can always upset small elephants". She also used to tell me off for picking my nose... I like picking my nose (thats valuable information for you, right there).
Urgh, this typing stuff isn't ao easy today. I ripped the end of my finger open with a plastic bottle top. So now it's bound up in a black skull & crossbones pirate plaster. Yeeeeeah.
I swear the electrition just used our shower... I spose he was fixing the fan in there??
I should eat. But what! I want vegetables. Maybe eat the left over brocoli.... oh shush, Bex, no one wants to read about what you might eat.
On the mention of food, Silje & I made blackberry and kiwi cupcakes! Used blackberries we picking in our first bout of berry picking (we went again, this week) and then blended kiwi and a little green food colouring into the butter icing on top. Made in silicon cupcake moulds - so good.
The insides of them weren't as purple as we had hoped, but still had a purple tinge to them (perhaps if we hadn't used a mix of muscavado and caster sugar it would have been more purple... since muscavado is daaaark).And another mention of food is the delicious sandwich I had in Truro the other day. Brie, smoked bacon, and red onion marmalade in brown seedy bread. Perfect amount.
Om nom nom. Theres one and a little bit missing from that... is it possible to tell people how to cut your sandwich? Because if so I'd always have it with the crusts cut off (but not thrown away! Nooooo, I like the crusts, but I like eating them first and THEN eating the best bit in the middle). Final mention of food (for the time being) http://www.graze.com/ go there, and enter the promotion code of FHMPQJD and you'll get a free box of fruit / nuts / dairy free chocolate beans... etc to munch upon! Yay. It's good. Only annoyance so far is that the box I am currently munching upon (fresh cut apple, Americas nut mix, and the dairy free chocolate beans) was meant to get here on Saturday... agh well, nuts and fake Smarties don't go off. It's just the apple which tastes a little under the weather, but still perfectly edible. Saves effort for my hungover state. Ok, the apple does actually taste a little dodgy now. But at least it won't give me food poisoning! (Vera thinks her Subway last night did that to her... I am now glad I do not eat there... too much salt and food poisoning. DELICIOUS. Not to mention over priced...A trio of old women all in pink just walked down the road. Is it a special pink day, or do people just enjoy looking like oversized marshmallows?
Lets show you some stuff I have pillaged from the interwebs.
Some more of Hvass & Hannibal's work - I've luuurved lots of their work for a while now, but this piece re-caught my eye and I decided that I wanted it to be painted onto the big back wall of the living room. It would be an amazing piece to have painted there. Dream on, Bex.
Work by Rachell Sumpter. It's not all good, but this little series I do dribble over a little. Eskimos and whatnot.
Jeff Hopp yaaaay! Again, I've been stalking him on the internet for a while, some years. His work is marvellous, and much of it is all just colouring pencil sort of stuff... mad.
Anything else....
I shall throw up some links on here.
Bleeeeurgh....

http://www.richardcolmanart.com/image02.php VAGUELY YUMMY, but not quite.
Right, now I am getting fed up of typing with an abused finger, so I'm off to do some work.
And eat these fake Smarties (they're rather tasty, especially when 2 are eaten with 1 almond / brazil nut / walnut from the nut section).
And maybe play Sims 3, whilst procrastinating about doing work.
Good bye.
OH! P.S. I don't love you, but this is great:
