Yellow by Coldplay is on the radio. I like this song.
Today I have to send my CV's and tidy. After that my day is my own. I think I will escape to Sense valley. (A nature reserve near my house) - Sense Valley. What a name. I am still going through the detox and physical transformation. Less alcohol and healthier food. I have finally won the war with my parents about getting a vegetable patch. Although they are still not up for adopting a couple of Hen's. I read an article somewhere, about a new culture, called 'Frugalists'. Apparantly they are people that ride a bike to work, grow their own vegetables, shop in vintage/charity shops. Sounds marvellous to me! Infact, I may already be part frugal, as I have a mint plan growing on my window box (handy for all those detoxing cups of mint tea) and just the other day, I bought a lovely jumper, purse and brooch from a charity shop. Not only had I got some vintage treasures but I had the satisfaction of knowing that someone, somewhere may benefit from it. Win Win.
Although I am embracing city life currently, and have dreams of a city appartment with a balcony and a design studio over looking a park or maybe some water. Visiting the top end eateries and cuisines, jotting down dates for dinner dates and drinks in cocktail bars with friends. I, however would be just as happy in a little cottage somewhere, tucked away amongst the trees. Cycling to the village post office or to the market to pick up fresh fruit and vegetables to cook for Gemma's famous homemade country vegetable soup.
Weather it be Sex in the city - or - Miss potter. I think both would suit me perfectly.
I can only dream......
Any new discoveries i hear you ask?
Well, I have recently been listening to London, Folk/Indie band - Noah and the Whale.
Their song '5years time' has been played on Radio One very frequently recently, but for not for good reason might I add. The song is perfectly delightful, summery and refreshing. Catchy too.
Their other songs are brilliant for a mellow mood, with a combination of vocals, twinkly xylophone sounds, strings and piano. Open your ears to Noah and the Whale.

As for Illustration, my heart was stolen by this artist.
Ladies and gentleman, lay your eyes on the work of Justin Lee Williams.
'Justin Lee Williams lives and draws in the mountains outside Melbourne. He enjoys Chupa Chups, lead pencils and paper. He has worked for Ksubi, Insight, Vice Magazine, Mooks, and Design is Kinky. He is inspired by animals, indians and trees, and finds the colour maroon dreary.'
The house will not tidy itself. I must dash but I will leave you with my favourite photo I have taken this week. It's reminds me of falling comets, as I have been researching the date for the next meteorite shower. I plan on finding a desolate hill, taking a deck chair, blanket and a flask, and angle my face towards the midnight sky. Soaking up the aubade of starlights.
Untill tomorrow x
