I decided to set myself up with a Zazzle store this week, for no other particular reason than I got bored.
But you’ll soon be able to get cases for your iPad, iPod, iPhone, or Blackberry & Samsung phones featuring several of my favourite photographs, along with one or two other quirky items I may choose to add from time to time.
Head over here to have a look.
and being mercenary at the same time.
I am terrified of heights. So is my other half, and yet he still agreed to go on this ride with me on a cold and ridiculously windy Edinburgh day.
The look on his face as we stopped at the top was priceless. I just wish I’d been able to grab my camera to take a snapshot, but I was a tad too busy not looking down myself.
I seem to have spent more time in my car than anywhere else over the last couple of weeks. I’ve driven over 2,000 miles for work, been here, there and everywhere in the West Midlands, and had a day down in London.
Tomorrow I’m off to Scotland for a few days, it really is a good job I enjoy driving.
A day out in London, with Boo, possibly Luigi, and a seemingly Where’s Wally? convention….
I’ve been sat watching the Fantastic Four again. Well, I say watching, what I’ve actually been doing for the last 106 minutes is trying to work out just how exactly The Thing has sex, and what might happen when he climaxes.
Not just the tools of a great magician, but also of a fantastic author.
It’s been a Hewson fest of books, the last few weeks, quite simply because the are so intricately plotted, and so finely written you can’t wait to dive into the next fabulous story.
I have some boards. I have days where I’m almost addicted, and days where I can leave it alone.
You can find me here though, if you fancy a look.
Boo and I went to Alton Towers for the Halloween Scarefest.
We had a great day but the queues were huge, which given we usually go midweek when there’s no one else around came as a bit of a shock. (80 minutes was the longest time) That said, I don’t think we were as long waiting as these guys had been on the ride…. 
Boo and I did a bargain bagging day out at Bicester Shopping Village.
He bought me a mahooosive DKNY handbag for the fabulous knockdown price of £68 instead of £175, leaving me with the challenge of locating a bigger bargain.
After much mooching around all the big designer names I finally found myself in the ToyWatch store and after Boo pointed it out to me, I fell instantly in love with an epic watch. Totally bling for me and awesomely discounted at £65 instead of £285.
So now after the epic win shoes I bought in the summer, my wardrobe is very carefully being constructed of total win.
Painting a stark picture of modern day India, this is a great story of one boys efforts to rise out of the darkness of where he was born.
Balram Halwai, the eponymous ‘white tiger’, is a diminutive, overweight ex-teashop worker who now earns his living as a chauffeur. But this is only one side of his protean personality; he deals in confidence scams, over-ambitious business promotions (built on the shakiest of foundations) and enjoys approaching life with a philosophical turn of mind. But is Balram also a murderer? We learn the answer as we devour these 500 odd pages. Born into an impoverished family, Balram is removed from school by his parents in order to earn money in a thankless job: shop employee. He is forced into banal, mind-numbing work. But Balram dreams of escaping — and a chance arises when a well-heeled village landlord takes him on as a chauffeur for his son (although the duties involve transporting the latter’s wife and two Pomeranian dogs). From the rich new perspective offered to him in this more interesting job, Balram discovers New Delhi, and a vision of the city changes his life forever. His learning curve is very steep, and he quickly comes to believe that the way to the top is by the most expedient means. And if that involves committing the odd crime of violence, he persuades himself that this is what successful people must do.
