Plus les choses que j'aime

(More) things I currently love:


1. Love Soup series 1 on DVD

Come on, Alice, come on, Gil, get (it) together!

2. Decadent weekend breakfasts

(Coffee + waffles = cwoffles)

3. Typewriter stamp set

Fun and messy type effects from here

4. Being a Brighton Belle

Photo by my friend Jo Halstead; posed ridiculously by me in a very similar outfit to the one thrown together here...! (Trilby out of shot -- was too windy to wear it on the Pier!)

5. Playing DJ

Currently compiling a playlist for a church party next month! Cheesy pop and rock being the order of the day...

6. Seeberger cloche

From Mad Hatters, Brighton. LOVE it.

7. Making countless summer music playlists

Because aside from smell, music is one of the best triggers of memory. IMO. And if I ever want to recapture my happiness this summer, the music'll do it. Mostly Glee covers, bit of old disco, that sort of thing.

8. Richard Marx.

Bit in love right now in case my previous post didn't quite capture that. :-) Especially watching YouTube clips of him and Hugh Jackman hanging out together... ooooh...

Beside the seaside

Monologue for a Sunday in September:
"What to do... what to do...

But wait! What is this glowing ball of fire I see in the sky?

Why... 'tis the SUN!

Right. Forget the housework, I'm off to the seaside, and I'm takin' the camera with me."

Brighton was certainly bright this afternoon - maybe a little too bright but the West Pier was looking decidedly sorry for itself in its derelict state. So I took pity on it and took photos of it in its misery.
































And then, to ensure the fully-functional Palace Pier didn't feel too left out, I took photos there, too.
