*** hello kitty ***

I have mentioned in a previous post that I am increasingly regressing into a state of liking girly things, such as the colour pink and heart shapes.  Lately I have developed some form of fetish for hello kitty things. Recently my (lovely) parents financed a new laptop for me, which I am absolutely adoring.  Oddly enough though, I was, not quite but, almost as excited to find a hello kitty laptop bag for my new 'shiny' as I was for the acquisition of the splendid machine itself.

Yesterday I saw this more-than-magnificent hello kitty sandwich maker. I must have one... I feel sorry for my children, if ever I am to have any- I'm sure a lunchbox filled with hello kitty sandwiches will not only be cause of extreme embarrassment, but also drastically decrease any popularity points they may have during their teen years...

*** getting work done ***

I've been a bad, bad blogger.  The past month I have barely had time to eat I'm so busy at university, so I have neglected the grand total of my 29 followers... Oh the stress of it all. End of this week is deadline day, which means a superstressfulweekfromhell, but also a light at the end of the tunnel. I cannot wait.

*** candy chang ***

I love this. What a nice idea to brighten up city living. It's an "installation" by Candy Chang "to make cities more comfortable for people".  Have a look at her webpage here.

*** my life ***

Although I am a ninny every now and again and moan about small things, on the grander scale of things I am generally happy and superbly content.  These images remind me my life now and make me smile about it.

*** bread ***

Today I beaked some bread for the first time ever. In my life I have made fake, rip-off breads that are more like savoury cakes, but never a proper dark bread with real bread flour.  The concept of different types of flour in general fascinates me...

Anyway.  I considered rambling on about the marvel that is fresh bread straight out of the oven, but I think I have made it clear ample times that the smells, tastes and sounds of all types of foodstuffs are too amazing for words (at least for today).

This is a beer bread with wholewheat, rye and bread flour. Yummo. [And our beautiful coffee grinder in the background that I could nut help but to include in the pictures.]

*** shirtheads ***

I saw these pictures on separate occasions, but they make me think of each other in a 'boy grows up' kind of way.  Two beautiful images, very different, but with the obvious unifying element.
