MBS

Bought Aleph on my Kindle. Indi Natural Stone website has gone live. Putting my entire life on hold for this MS project. Trying very hard not to get sucked in too much - already been asked to work the weekend and said no. Design work is giving way to CSS.


Sarah is going for Laser Eye Surgery!

Wimbledon! RSL Blacony - our response sent off. Wonderful evening out with Sarah on Tuesday, after walking around looking for a place to eat, luckily found something AWESOME - SUDA Siamese. STAG video for the Airshow coming along slowly - time is being compromised by the MS website, so I'm having to fend off the client.

Alanis ar Brixton! New Maak'it post! Two week booking received for Seven Digital in about a month - very welcome ticket out of this here mess.

Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary

Trying to organise a trip to Battersea Cattery for a new little thing - was hoping to do it for our Anni, but it's quite a process, so it will have to wait a bit. Maybe if Lynda's place comes through we'll do it then! Found a New York Cheesecake Bakery.


Involved in a Facebook Timeline design for Duracell, another Eurocopter banner and potentially a video for the Airshow (which I totally want to go to!!) via Design Inc. Found Lip Service 2 for our upcoming anniversary, and heard about an Astonishing X-Men issue coming up featuring a gay wedding :) It seems to be fate that I have just discovered the Orbital Comic Book shop in Leicester Square where I'm working at the moment.
Visited the rents this weekend, Father-in-law very happy with my DVD copying skills. My iPhone is screwed - guess I can't blame it after taking a dive in the toilet.
Impromptu promotion to Art Director for the MS project.

Cried for the Beloved Country





Watched Bloomingtons. Did a design for the Velvetines T-shirts. Won £2.60 in the lottery. My first ever guest blog post was published on Tuesday on Vida's Maak'it website \0/. Panicking about my Tax Return a little... JM from PD asked me about web design for a new client of his - seems like a well-organised project for once! Working at MBA, on a potentially awful website for TMS. Passed up a magazine advert for Indi Natural Stone to go in the Architectural Review, but the site is going live soon! Buying Sarah's birthday presents :)

Happy and Glorious!


Rediscovered Bob Marley's Redemption Song and played it on Sunday morning, while making red pepper, mushroom and courgette pancakes with Brie cheese for breakfast. This all before suddenly deciding to head out and see the Queen. What a lady. Came back and watched Invictus.

 In reverse, the rest of the weekend went like this: Mellow birthday party braai in North London with the Geldenhuyses, passing left, mixing Pimms and Jack Daniels and Corona in a drinking game that went on the entire night and/or ended up in Charades. This after having bought all the ingredients for Mojitos and a 9:40 am hair appointment in Wimbledon after a late night with Gina and everyone in Old Street, an unexpected Vietnamese restaurant, a pool game and far too much smoking. The rest of the week spent in Leicester Square, working on a sinking ship with a deranged captain at the helm. It's beautiful and thank God I don't have to stay forever. Nice crew to work with though :) Embarked on an impromptu blog project with Vida, called maak'it. Wrote my first guest post, ready for publication on Tuesday. Vivaldi's 4 seasons on Friday in St Martins church by the LMAO. Lol. Injured my back doing Thursday exercises, also known as swinging dumbells like a golf club.

AmsterDamn!

Chilled, slow, long, sunny weekend in the Dam. I think we may have found the best hotel - Vondelpark Plaza. Spent 80% of waking hours in the park, reading, playing with my *new* Nikon camera what my girl got me \0/, eating snacks and walking around. Ventured into Centraal, but the crowds were maddening, so we stayed on the South fringe finding awesome little cafés and cocktail bars instead. With the exception of Thai on Nieuwemarkt square.
