Today we went up to High Leigh garden center as I was told they have a good aquatic section. It does have a really good selection, especially the marine fish, there were even seahorses!! I can't wait to save up and get our own aquarium, I'd love a huge biorb!!

Song Of The Day: Fiona Apple - Criminal
Reason: It's been my ringtone for ages but I still love it!

Highlight Of The Day: Visiting The Range for some home shopping!

Inspiration Of The Day: Marine tanks, so beautiful and worth all the hard work!

So today I'm starting again on PED for 2013! I'll do a highlights if 2012 blog tomorrow as I can't seem to connect to the Internet on my laptop via my phone! Today I went shopping with a friend, it was a bit of a poor turn out for me as I only bought some microfibre cloths and a scrubbing brush, but I was happy enough. I also discovered that Ed's Easy Diner has opened at Cheshire Oaks! I love the milkshakes and can't wait to go next time I'm there. Tomorrow Draco is off to the vets for his last set of kitten injections. Then we have the design lady coming back with our study and bedroom design ideas. I've been trying to think of a new section to add to my blog, I think I may try and do 'Inspiration Of The Day'. So I'm thinking this could be a photo, quote, person, film, song, anything really!

Ed's Easy Diner:


Song Of The Day: Fiona Apple - Paper Bag
Reason: Easy song to relate to dressed up in an interesting metaphor.

Highlight Of The Day: Discovering Eds Easy Diner at Cheshire Oaks

Inspiration Of The Day: I'm going to say my other half, I take him for granted sometimes, but he is useful sometimes....I suppose.

Recently I started reading JD Salinger's For Esme - With Love And Squalor which is a book of short stories by my favourite author. So far, I've only read A Perfect Day For Bananafish which I've read a few times before. I love the ending, it's so real, sharp and shocking. The book is also referenced in some of Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events books, mainly The Ersatz Elevator through the characters Jerome and Esme Squalor. Jerome is also Salinger's first name for those who didn't know. I want to finish this book then start on Unfortunate Events again asap as it's been far too long since I've read them.

For Esme:


Song Of The Day: Fiona Apple - To Your Love
Reason: Loving her a lot at the moment, but still haven't had time to listen to her latest album properly!

Highlight Of The Day:  Looking at dining tables, sofas and wardrobes with my Mum

Today's PED is a compilation of photos of the rats enjoying their new hammock from BitsOHeaven over on Etsy. Their products are so cute and it's so well made, much better than the faux fur hammock the boys had previously. It's a lot softer and lighter but seems like it will be nice and snug for them whilst they sleep. It also came with 4 big hooks which are also a lot better than the simple hooks I have on some of their other things.I haven't washed it yet, but imagine when I do it will be just as lovely. I feel like we really got a bargain too as it was just under £10 and was shipped really quickly, especially seeing as it was coming from America to England. I love it as it feels so special and personal, plus it looks nice in their cage! They tend to sleep one on the very top and one in the middle or one on the top and one at the bottom. I've also seen Jacques and Quigley asleep in the middle with Klaus on top too! I love the patterns and I already have my eye on this spooky cobweb print one and this skeleton print one. I would certainly recommend!

Song Of The Day: Fiona Apple - Sleep To Dream
Reason: I am a huge fan as you already know and I really hope she tours her new album over here!

Highlight Of The Day: Spending the evening with my Dad and his other half.

Over the last couple of days I've been sorting out our second bedroom. I rearranged the furniture and it looks a lot better and a lot lighter. I've been wondering what to do with all my cameras, films, accessories, developed negatives and prints for ages, but so far I have compiled them onto our new tv bench since we haven't bought a new tv yet. I call it my Lomo Mountain! I also won some more piggy points on the Lomography website! Woo! This is my lomo home if you're wondering.

Lomo Mountain:


Song Of The Day: Fiona Apple - Red
Reason: Haven't listened to her in far too long, still one of my ultimate idols.

Highlight Of The Day: It's Friday! So that means the weekend is tomorrow!!

Today we went out to dinner then I saw my friend for a milkshake. All in all a good day after a super busy week. This is my outfit from today. It consists of a black and white dress from Republic with black leggings and a feather belt from Zara. I also wore an Alice in Wonderland necklace featuring a pocket watch and the white rabbit with a black and silver skull bracelet.

Song Of The Day: Fiona Apple - Criminal
Reason: The first Fiona Apple song I really loved that was her own. The first was her cover of Sally's Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas

Today's PED is of my Union Jack dog doorstop, he's not heavy enough to hold open our doors, which are fire doors, but he is still rather cute! He matches our Union Jack/retro theme perfectly.

Today has been a sad day, I've finally, after two and a half happy years, had to remove my wrist piercing. I honestly feel like part of my identity has been taken from me. Gutted. However, we went to Filmonik tonight which was really good! I'm feeling inspired to make a short film this week whilst I'm off, maybe even stop motion style. There was also a special clip shown from the feature film I'll be working on. More about that when I have proper internet access though!

Bye Bye Piercing:


Song Of The Day: Fiona Apple - To Your Love
Reason: She's my idol, what more can I say!
