Poppet and Sam's small to medium sized adventure!

Here are some pictures I took on our small journey...

We started our walk here, its the wee walkway under the dean bridge.



Yes (Hannah and Tom you will notice i let him off his lead!)

And there is lots of water and trees and things down there...(none of my favorite trees but thats ok)




It is quite lovely.

After leaving this walkway we found ourselves in stockbridge which excited poppet because his favorite shop is there (its called justdogs, its like the only shop Poppet is like actually allowed in, although we get away with taking him into lots of places because of his blatent cuteness) but unfortunately the shop isnt open on mondays....sp poppet got no special treat today! : (

By accident really, we arrived in inverleith park where there is a nice pond thing , poppet here has a feather attached to the side of his mouth, i didnt remove it until 5 minutes ago, it looked funny


just so you know, you are not allowed to park in there!

Poppet and this swan had a staring contest....the swan won! HE was quite happy to terrorise the ducks though, what a bully!

I loved our small adventure, and Poppet did too(he is like totally passed out right now...aww) He spent the whole time trying to eat things he found on the ground and I listened to Sigur Ros and Amiina (who i only heard of like last week thanks to Richard - Thank you Richard....I know you will read this because i will force you to!) they are a bit like Sigur Ros really, probably because they are people who are in Sigur Ros....yeah

Anyway, yeah, that was all I wanted to say! Im worried that I am turning into one of those people with annoying Blogs that write about the most mundane things, like what they have in their bag. Am i one of them? first its check out the way I wrapped these presents, now its look where I walked my dog today....maybe tomorrow I will blog about what shampoo I use and post pictures of my bus journey to work...

sam has become uber kitsch...

i dont know why!

but wouldnt you lke to recieve presents that look like this??

i think its joyful!

this may be my new way of wrapping all presents!

worthy of note...

BOught whittards fairtrade tea bags today to take to work (becasue for some reason the teabags at work have been replaced by rediculous vending machine teabags with metal in them!!!) and I have to say that these are the best fairtrade teabags i have tried...by far!

Tales from the receptionist - initiative is my middle name!

Today at work.....DISASTER STRUCK!

the situation couldn't have been worse! i arrived to discover that something was wrong with the external ariel at the hostel and as a result of this the tv's were not working! this was of course a major disaster!! We were being faced with 38 angry men and no telly....i put my thinking cap on and decided that it would be a good idea to organise an activity!

The idea came to me stright away and it took me no time at all to rustle up a really impressive looking poster!


Of course, in true blue peter stlye we needed to create a "heres one i made earlier", the only problem was that we didnt have any spare socks lying around! so, using all our create powers and pulling our resourses we created our puppets.



Jeanette created bob using a plastic cup, some kitchen roll, an orange and some string.




and Taloolah is made from a latex glove , her earlings are paperclips and her hair is kitchen roll.

And at 11 o'clock....no one came to the group...

my news....

is good news! i have been accepted to study diviny at edinburgh!!!!

This pleases me : D

Go unlimited...

Here are March's one word film reviews...


The accidental husband - stupid
Untracable - dragged
The cottage - funny
The orphanage - GOOD
The spiderwick cronicles - magical

There are not as many this month...oh well!

is it really necessary...

for environmental wardens (pc term for bin men) to be wearing stab proof vests?

i noticed two men yesterday wearing them and i thought to myself...what has made this a necessity?

now....traffic wardens i could understand!
