Day 323.

Today it wasn't misty so we went up the Eiffel Tower and here is the view from the second floor, firstly the top was pretty high, and secondly the queue was massive so we didn't go.
It was Paris Photo today, it was a pretty interesting experience but it was to hot inside compared to how cold it was outside, making for a pretty uncomfortable experience. I liked the Japanese work the best.

I went on a quest to buy birthday presents for my Gran today. I also picked up this wonderful cushion, I could actually marry it, I love it so much ♥. I've also got some medicine to fix my cough, but we'll see how that works out.

Day 225.

So I've been a bit slack with this since my birthday. Here comes a mammoth update. I have the photos though, so it exists, just not on here. Here we go.

My party was Sunday, it was quite nice and I got to see a few members of my family that I don't often see. Tom and Lucy also made the effort to come along and that was great of them. I got to open a few presents, one of which was the collage shown above which my sister made - it has lots of old photos of us and me from when we were small. My Uncle David made a great speech too and I got to have/see my birthday cake which was the size of about four cakes. Crazy.
In the evening I went for a few drinks at the Kings Arms and set off some sky lanterns when I got home. I was in bed before it hit my proper birthday at midnight.

Today I went to Kew Gardens, it was hot and nice.
I am very pleased with the performance my SLR has put on today. I'm so glad I have nothing to do tomorrow.

Day 201.

Today was the Malden Fortnight presentation evening, I attended because I was invited and I brought along Moon as my 'plus one', it was alright, they just gave out some prizes for best stalls at the Craft Fair and things like that. I was made to get up in front of the committee and was presented with £50 for the work I'd done for them. It was a very nice gesture, not only to be thanked but also the money considering I wasn't meant to be getting paid at all. I have also had an enquiry to come back up in October to photograph a lady's birthday party. I'm quite happy I went now and it definitely wasn't as boring as I thought it would be. Putting everything else aside, I even got a free slice of cake and a free beer.

Day 121.

So today Moon and I took ourselves to Brighton as a last bit of fun before Moon is plunged into exams for a month.
It was pretty nice, as always, it was a bit cold but was also hot sometimes too and I did buy some neat things.
Moon also discovered why my sister and I made so much fuss over the nachos we had at Ha!Ha! Bar, I realise it's a chain but the ones in Portsmouth didn't live up to expectation at all.
It's got me excited for my birthday, when we'll have more time down there.

Day 73.

Today is such a beautiful day, I was quite surprised to see this nice patch of crocuses.
Despite feeling rubbish, I've been walking all over the city, it's made me feel a lot better, I hope the weather stays like this, it's much better than rainy grog.
