Tea Party!

I completed my first rescue for Tiggywinkles this week! Nothing very exciting, I just had to pick up a tawny owl from a lady’s house. He possibly had an injured wing. I keep meaning to ring and ask if he was ok but I’m worried it will be bad news. He was effer so cute.

An unhappy owl :(

Friday was my mum’s birthday, she has reached half a century! So we had a tea party at a posh house called Luton Hoo. It’s a really nice place and the grounds are lovely but unfortunately it was pouring down with rain while we were there. The tea and cakes were still good though! And I think my ma had a good time.

 

 

I have seen a few films recently, trying to occupy the huge emptiness that is my time at the moment. Went to see Woman in Black at the cinema which I was hopeful for because I have seen the play in the West End and it was amazingggg. The film was alright but not what I expected. They changed a few bits which I thought was unnecessary. Also Daniel Radcliffe can’t act, although he didn’t have much to say in this film which meant it wasn’t quite so apparent. The scenery and settings were really good though. Just how I imagined :)

Another film I have seen recently that I enjoyed a lot more is Mother. It’s a Korean film directed by the same person who did The Host and Memories of Murder which are two other films I really like. Mother is about a woman who is trying to get her son cleared of a murder that she is convinced he didn’t commit. The plot sounds quite simple but there are lots of unexpected aspects to it. I think it is definitely worth a watch, or maybe two.

Ooh, a last note because which makes me realise how little I update this blog. Congratulations to my friend Amreen (Anne-Marie) who had her baby boy a couple of weeks ago. He is sooo cute and I can’t wait to brainwash him to like ‘cool’ stuff like science and knitting ;)

Bye for now!

The last couple of weeks!

Sooo I am beginning to lag with my updates a bit. It's been about 2 weeks now, oops!
I have done a few fun things since, so at least I have something to update about now.
Last Saturday I went to seeee The Lion King musical in London which was fun. It was kinda a very late birthday thing, lol. The musical was awesommme. It had puppets, like in War Horse, but they were more artsy than realistic and it looked really good. There was a bebbeh elephant which was my favourite.

I also had some belated birthday presents from my friends. They made me a collage-y thing with pictures of my pets which is cuuuute. And Kirsty made me some soap with her new found hobby. It smells of parma violets, which I always think smell more like soap than sweets, so that makes sense! They also gave me a sewing box, a knitted turtle and book of cute, strange toy knitting patterns that I was looking through in Hobbycraft the other week. I discovered there is a whoooole website of them :D I have already made a teeny hamster toy, hehe. I shall have to make an army of them and then take pictures. They knit up veeery quickly.

Then this week I had some work experience at a kennels and cattery. It was a bit last minute organising it because they had another work experience person cancel. It was really fun, I met lots of cute dogs and cats. Including a rather drooly spaniel and an apparently evil cat with the loudest purr in the world. The weather this week has been reeeeeally nice, so it was good walking the dogs in the sun. :)

Ooh, I nearly forgot, but Happy Easter! I don't really celebrate Easter but I like the chocolate ^_^ I have a chocolate Thorntons bunny and a Cadbury's caramel easter egg to make my way through now.

That's all for now. I'll try not to leave it so long before I next update!

Horses, Soap and Cats.

The weather has been wooonderful for the past few days, although it did rain a little this afternoon.

I went to see the play War Horse in London on Thursday. It was a Christmas present to my nan. The show was completely booked up from Christmas so they were the earliest tickets we could get! So it ended up being a rather late Christmas present but oh well.

The play was really good and I was quite amazed by the puppets. They moved like real animals! It was quite sad though and I didn't realise quite how many horses were used in WW1. Apprently 1 million went over to France and only 62k came back. The ones that didn't die in combat were probably made into burgers :|

Other than that I have been spending silly amounts of time sitting in the sun and trying to do work. Went to Hobbycraft with some friends yesterday. I managed not to buy anything, so I am proud of myself! Kirsty is trying to find a new hobby and has made her first foray into soap-making!

Have also been trying to sort out some work experience for over summer. I have had a few 'no's but one kennel and cattery have said 'yes' :) So I need to sort out some dates for that. I have been depressing myself by looking at jobs and also looking into studying Chemistry A level again. It nearly killed me last time but I think I could get an A if I did it again.

Ooh, and it was Charlie's birthday on Saturday! He is one year old already.
Here is a picture of him at 18 days old with tiny ear nubblets:


Aaand this is him now, looking like a proper cat:


So I think that's all for now! I'm proud I have managed to keep this blog alive for over a week now :D
