Too Much To Do!

Just to let you know that I will be taking a break from blogging while I cram as many things to do here in London before I am forced to leave!! Can you believe my time is almost up?? :-( 

Hope to resume sometime in March 2013 when I get back to real life :-P 

See you then? :-)

Cheesy Stuffed Crust Pizza

I've always wanted to try the stuffed crust pizzas. Didn't think they would look like this though!

Looks different but still delicious

Available from Pizza Hut (I had them in the UK, I'm not sure about other countries)

Camera Strap

Ever since buying the Canon S95 (here) and realising that it had two holey things for a neck strap, I've been on the hunt for a suitable one. Canon does have it's own version- a leather one. But so far it's available on US sites and shipping to the UK is phenomenal- more than the strap itself! I shiver to think of the postage to Australia...

I was reading a  photography blog- Steve Huff (here) and came across a Ricoh camera review (here). I googled the Ricoh camera and came across the neckstrap. More Googling later and decided that the GS-1 neckstrap from Ricoh would be perfect for my Canon. Also the GS-1 is widely available. Double yay!

So there you have it - my Canon S95 with the Ricoh GS-1. Perfect!

For those who were looking, now you can stop. 

Now time for some sneaky street photography :-P

Behind the Scenes of Chicken Curry

 Learning how to cut a chicken into pieces from Suyuan

Our new Ken Hom wok from Argos

Chicken curry in the wok- we used a jar of paste so no curry secrets :-)

Fresh coriander to sprinkle in afterwards

Two Colours

Change room photos of the skirt from Anthropologie: 

The colour I bought was the orange one. Usually I would've never gone for such a bright colour. But the other colour choice was navy and it looked like a school skirt! 

Off For Two

Goodbye wet and windy London!

View of Big Ben /Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey from the London Eye (taken and edited on my phone)

I'm off to Europe for two weeks with my mum and sisters. 

We are going to Brussels: 

The Grand Place (taken when I was there last October)

Also part of the Grand Place

The Atomium!

And I can't wait for those. Nom nom! 

Probably going to overdose on chocolates...

Also heading to Paris and Italy including Rome:

St Peter's Basilica at night (taken Christmas 2011)

And the ancient Colosseum

Summer holidays here I come!

I do have some scheduled posts up but I do apologise if they run out before I get back into blogging again!

Little May Shopping

I'm very proud of what I achieved in May- I hardly bought anything!!

These are the goodies I picked up-

A canvas Fossil satchel that is big enough to fit my DSLR camera and a drink bottle when I go travelling.

I didn't like the straps on top so I cut them off.

Now I need to find someone with a bolt cutter so they can chomp off the metal rings too.

Another Fossil bag- both of these were from TK Maxx.

The colour of the leather is gorgeous and it's definitely a classic!

Side view

  

Something bright for summer- an orange skirt from Anthropologie.

And finally not clothing related- I bought a 35mm lens for my DSLR

That's it! One item of clothing only :-P 

Now the June/July sales are on... it's very hard to resist. London does soooo much better sales than Australia and even Singapore!

Jubilee Charm

Since I missed the Jubilee weekend, I thought I'd commemorate by getting a charm. 

Pandora is selling Jubilee/London/British charms and the one I selected was of the iconic red buses.

Not really 'red'

But it's got the Union Jack on top! Can't mistake where it's from.

Vroomm!
