shiny pretty things

If youre reading this at 3:30pm you'll be glad to know that monday is almost over.

(cue moaning)I feel as if I haven't had a weekend for the past two weeks and despite the happiness I felt that March has arrived the weather hasn't obligingly cooled down enough for me to wear my new ankle boots-what the heck is going on here? Everything may be compounded by the fact that I have way too much work and am frequently having to wake up at 4am to just get through the next day. [despite the moaning she really does feel very happy at the moment]

its 10days until G leaves for durban again [she puts on her nervous face]I hate him leaving but I love knowing that he's going to come back-and usually that feeling is bigger than the sadness- On saturday we had my sisters 18th birthday at our house (we're still finding glitter everywhere) and as a result we have a surplus of leftover food. this actually just means that i'm going to get fat.er.

crumpet

Happy monday! I love hot days in summer [not because I particularly like the heat] because I love the hot summer nights where you can sit for hours on your balcony staring at the moon, pretending to be someone magical in some exciting novel containing ruby necklaces and white horses-moonlight can do extraordinary things.

A crumpet /ˈkrʌmpɨt/ is a savoury griddle cake made from flour and yeast.

Crumpets are generally eaten hot with butter, with or without a second (sweet or savoury) topping. Sometimes, second toppings are added such as honey, poached egg, jam, Marmite, salt, marmalade, peanut butter, cheese, golden syrup, hummus, lemon curd, maple syrup, and Nutella. The butter may be omitted, but a phrase very commonly associated with crumpets is "dripping with butter"

p.s.I am feeling much better [if you were wondering] I'm feeling good enough to have spent the larger part of my evening reading my philosophy textbook.

too much tea

"I will cling to that old rugged cross & exchange it someday for a crown"
Good afternoon. I am feeling seriously energetic today as always on the first day of term...you dont need to be too concerned though, it usually fades by tuesday. Hm, whats new? The last term of the year- only 9 weeks and then im on vacation for forever! Until January. whatever.

[Im going to let you in on a secret and tell you that I've been wearing the same jersey for 3days straight, I should wash it and preserve its cashmere-ness] How sweet is this list?

Last week my dad got home from Mongolia and he brought us panda chocolates, argh now I want a panda, or atleast to stroke one.
Ah its cupcake monday! but as of now-ish the cupcakes are going to apper on the new blog! [yay new blog] http://anobviousobsession.blogspot.com/

And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the Daffodils

As much a I try to convince myself that it's getting warmer, the weather seems to be working hard to oppose my happy thoughts. [Happily though, monday is almost over! and it's less than 3weeks until September holidays] [I haven't done this in a long time] happy cupcake monday! The cupcakes below are pumpkin cupcakes. ah! How I wish they were in my tummy right now. Yesterday G & i were reading poetry and when i read this to him i'd forgotten how much i loved it. [it reminds me of summer]

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

who watches the watchmen?

Stay with me to guide this dream
before they bury me.
I'll be waiting up all night for you
in a nightmare that was made for me.

it's cupcake monday and i'm not going to post pictures of cupcakes. Instead this post is for pix [just because I miss you] the quote underneath reminds me of you- maybe its because this is what we have done together [&what i want to spend more time doing with you]

In the dark they watched us from here beyond the grave.
To bare the mark of His work are the Watchmen of our ways.
That which we feel untrue, if it's me then it isn't you.

[a birthday picture] Je t'aime & Te amo

in other news: its less than a week until I leave for Durban [researches 'simple and painless ways to break your leg'] also, today i watched the watchmen. Goodness, you're going to have to ask G what I thought of it- although I do agree that the soundtrack was amazing.[kidding]

What you thought once was yours is ours now.

goodnight. sleep tight x

cake cake and toto

Happy day-after-mothers-day! we went all out this year spending obscene amounts of money on a candle and glasses and then breakfast in bed, made by yours truly and the boyfriend.
[I found this bunny and have decided to name him toto. Toto the bunny.]

cupcake monday :) yesterday G's parents had tea at our place, this caused panic baking and the best lemon pie i have ever tasted to be made [all im really thinking about now is how fast i can finish it before the rest of the family gets home]

[is being distracted by star wars cakes on http://pinterest.com/]

i hope you have a beautiful monday.
[she contemplates sleeping but can't hear her contemplation because of the tile cutting next door.] i hate house building.

a yellow lemon tree

Happy monday. [gosh this picture is wonderfully hypnotizing] If i look at it for too long an intense craving for macaroons comes over me.

The wrath of winter is almost upon us. Thunder, lightning,days of rain, cold toes, red noses and sore throats. But luckily winter also means hotchocolate to warm cold hands, blankets to hide under and watch the rain, pretty scarves to wrap around cold faces and kisses to make you feel happier when you look like rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

its cupcake monday too. [but] the only baking that happened today was that of buttermilk rusks- which are pretty important for tea. Im sorry for the lack of real cupcakes today but according to captainjacksparrow drawings of things are better than the things themselves.

I am in comfort-food eating mode. [puts on excited face] which is why im going out to dinner with G now.

this song, is all i sing in my head when it rains:
I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

heartbreak monday
