Today was my review at work, it all went really well and I've been nominated to be accounts champion for our floor! Which basically means I'll be helping our store trainer when she's training on accounts. I love training people so I'm really looking forward to it. I also went out for a drink with my best friend and discussed various life decisions, as you do.

I'll Drink To That:


Song Of The Day: Katy Perry - ET
Reason: One of my favourite Katy songs, was playing in the bar tonight

Highligh Of The Day: Being made account champion!

Today has seemed like a long day as I appear to have got more than usual done! Today's PED is inspired by a friend from Leeds who was watching the film Audition in our old haunt Fab Cafe.I really miss uni and Leeds and especially the people I was so close to, especially during the summer between 2nd and 3rd year. It still makes me feel sad that I ended up losing those people as my close circle of friends but I'm glad to have met them and that they all seem happy with the way life is taking them. Thanks for the memories.

Audition:


Song Of The Day: Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah
Reason: Hauntingly beautiful song

Highlight Of The Day:Watching Gosford Park curled up in bed, really enjoyed it and it didn't feel like 2 hours 20 mins at all! Plus I love Kelly MacDonald, she's amazing in every role I've seen her in, my particular favourite being Boardwalk Empire.

Today was a nice chilled day off, until I started trying to pick photos for the portfolio I want to take to the enrolment to ensure I get a place on the college course I want to do. I've narrowed it down to 30 photos that I can put in or can work on and then add, ideally I want to end up with 8 since it's just a starter portfolio. I feel I'm lacking a good self portrait so I'm going to focus on trying to get one before I need it finished. I will be reading the following religiously until that dated too, and after too, but maybe not so manically.

Manual:


Song Of The Day: Paloma Faith - Picking Up The Pieces
Reason: Added to my playlist!

Highlight Of The Day: Realising I do have some decent photos considering I'm only a beginner

Today was my first day back at work in a week and already I've got my day off tomorrow! If only it was day-in-day-off all the time! Had my Dad and his girlfriend over for tea and I made them my signature dish, fajitas with honey chicken! It seemed to go down nicely so it's all good. We ended up watching a documentary about some POWs attempt to escape from Colditz by building a two man glider that they managed to hide from the German guards! They never got to actually try the glider, which was hidden behind a fake wall in the attic, as the war ended when Germany surrendered. Really interesting stuff! Today's PED is of my new phone case that the boy got me, which has a scene from Alice In Wonderland on it! Very cute.

Alice Meets The Caterpillar:


Song Of The Day: Faderhead - Houston
Reason: One of my favourite Faderhead songs, makes me wanna dance!

Highlight Of The Day: Catching up with the work girls.

Today we looked after Pixie whilst my parents went out. We took her to the Walled Garden, a Sunday tradition, to see the birds of prey that they had there for the day. I was also showing my Grandad my Spinner 360 camera and we took some photos in the gardens. In the evening we went to a family do as one of my uncles in emigrating to America. It was suprisingly decent and nice to talk to family members I barely know. The boy starts his new job tomorrow and is off to the Lake District for a few days for some training, so will be strange having the flat totally to myself! I doubt I'll do anything to make the most of it, just watch crime documentaries all night as usual!

Boy:



Song Of The Day: Uberbyte - When Something Gets Hard (Fuck It)
Reason: Just such a clever song title, even if you don't like the song!

Highlight Of The Day: Seeing family!

Today has been a good day! Firstly, we went on the Lubitel Lovers with Leshetz. The Lubitel is definately the camera now at the top of my list! I'll give a full run down of the workshop once we get the photos back. After the workshop, we went walking round the run down, abandoned buildings of Salford. I took a fair amount of pictures even though we only managed to get into one building. So this is a sneak peek.

Falling Down:


Song Of The Day: Alex Clare - Too Close
Reason: The live lounge version is amazing! Such a talented singer.

Highlight Of The Day: Being inspired by an awesome photographer

Today my Lomo goodies arrived! I got all the Diana F+ lenses, the Canon adapter and 8 rolls of film! I'm going to be taking my Canon and the lenses when we go to the workshop tomorrow, so will give a better run down once I've had some practice.

Lomo Goodies:


Song Of The Day: Marina & The Diamonds - Bubblegum Bitch
Reason: Quirky and catchy

Highlight Of The Day: Lunch with the best friend

This is the cute snow leopard cuddly toy the boy managed to win for me from a grabber machine on my birthday. He's set up camp on my bedside table for now. He's super soft but tends to malt everywhere which is quite annoying!

Snowy:



Song Of The Day: Nickleback - Someday
Reason: Just randomly remembered how good this song is, in a cheesey sort of way

Highlight Of The Day: A nice day to myself just chilling, catching up on chores and working through my to do list.
