Coffee, Photo Shoots, Gatherings and Cycling!

Been a nice day, after isolating myself from people for a day I feel like myself again. By that I mean not having to go anywhere, not having to do anything just going home after work, reading a book, laying about my bed in my brand new fox socks, listening to tunes., full volume (hurray my crazy neighbour has moved out!) editing some pictures and drinking a lot of tea, because it's damn cold in my house!

  

I am not even going to try and summarize the last three weeks! But I think a lot has happened. I've done a photo shoot with a girl called Alex that I met a couple of months ago at one of the metal Wednesday's things. Last Friday I volunteered for ffotogallery and it was loads of fun. It was a preview evening for Paul Reas's exhibition 'Day Dreaming About the Good Times?' I thought his work was really interesting,  his images represent British class and culture, but are slightly bizzare images. Paul was there but I didn't get to talk to him. Me and Jamie (or was it Bob?) were behind the desk, pouring the free drinks and topping up the nibbles whilst sneakily drinking ourselves. It got pretty merry towards the end, walked out of the gallery pissed.

Here's a photograph of his:)

 

 Ewan stayed over my house on Sunday night. Sunday morning I had to call in sick due to a horrible stomach virus! Was throwing up all Sunday morning, had sweaty shakes and basically just slept all day. Ate like a total of a strawberry and a kiwi within space of nearly two days!  Sadly I was selfish and didn't think about how contagious the bus was! Ewan got it a day later :( Anyway on Monday I've had enough of my house and had to do something.

Before meeting Al for the shoot Louise cycled down mine to grab some notes. I really wanted to go for a hot drink somewhere, so we went to Coffee 1# five minutes walk from mine. It was really lovely and I got the 10th drink free for my coffee card.  Me and Lou had a cosy catch up then she headed home to do her photography work and I headed to Penarth to do mine :) Here's some pictures form our coffee and the photo shoot's behind the scenes ;)

 Ah, I had too... This shows our awful awful manners in public places! Don't think anyone noticed...

 

At the beach, sitting behind a stone wall for wind and rain shelter having a lil fag break and warming up!

 

I think the most eventful day this week for me has been Monday. I've had quite a lot of time off work so thought I should finally get myself together and do a photo shoot! Me and Alex met up around 3pm in the afternoon and started shooting in fields near her home and then got a bus to Penarth pier and did the rest of the shoot on the rocky beach. The weather was literally horrid, really windy and cold and was raining all afternoon! So I'm quite please with what we came out with!

After we finished shooting, we went to a chippy nearby Joe's house and got lots of food! I was sooo hungry by this point, not having eaten anything since Saturday I thought I could manage to eat a whole van! On our way to Joe's we met Dan so all walked up there together. It was Inferno Ortum's
(Ewan's band) first demo celebration down Joes so the whole band was there and couple of other mates. So we stayed there for a while, drank and smoked some and then me and Ewan went to his house for a little.  I left around 11ish because I needed to be up early on Tuesday as me and dad were going to cycle down Caerphilly which is like 20 miles!

 

On Tuesday me and my dad left the house early around 9am to cycle the taff trail! It was really refreshing to do something different. The sun was out and we had a great father-daughter time, considering we really don't get on so well usually. We stopped every here and there for coffee and fag breaks too.

We made lunch at home, ate and then went and bought me a laptop! I finally have one to store my photos on and edit, and listen to music. God I didn't appreciate my laptop before it broke haha! It's a beautiful, dark purple baby.
Anyway have a nice evening, I'm going to dye my hair now.

Dangling feathers

So today has been really good for a Sunday, I have to admit I've kind of missed waking up in my own bed and not having to go ANYWHERE! I woke up early around 8.30, made myself an actual breakfast (a bacon and egg panini & coffee) and then till around 2pm I made a huge mess of my room burning candles, listening to music and doing my artwork. Afterwards I had to go do some shopping at Tesco. I found a book that I've been wanting for ages for such a bargain price! So then Louise called me to say that she was on the bus down to mine. I hurried up and finished my shopping and we ran into each other the police station stop. I asked her to come down mine for my art shoot, which we originally were meant to do on Wednesday but we only managed to do like half a shoot then, which was so bad. But yeah we started around 4pm and managed to get everything I needed to get done by 5! We treated ourselves with some hot chocolate which has become like a tradition now, and some banana&sugar&butter sandwiches, which were boom only I wanted mine warm and it had gotten cold. We watched The Cat Returns, which is a really cute film, makes me miss being little. I walked Lou to the stop because she had to be home in time for dinner, and now im here writing this. Ewan might be coming down later, and if he is i'm going to try and cook for us. But probably not haha, he's better anyway.
