Coffee that thinks its tea...

I'll let you know what it's like!

Carrying a knife for all the right reasons - Gerber advert

Bloody good advert. I want to go and buy a knife and conquer the world. 

Songs I have on repeat right now..

There always seems to be a bit of a lull and then all of a sudden there is five or six songs that I cannot get enough of. Here is what is on repeat at the moment...

Ellie Goulding Ft. Tinie Tempah - Hanging On

Haunting voals and a disorentatingly beautiful video to match. Love Tinie too. 



Major Lazer Ft. Santigold - Hold The Line 

I don't know whether because Carnival is upon us (or maybe it is the subliminal use of this as a sample in a new Cheryl Cole song) but this has danced it's way back onto my playlist.. 



Wiley - Heatwave

Ultimate Sumer 2012 song. Fact. Hit play and try not to dance your shoulders. See. Impossible.



Now if this jet stream just does one we can all go out in the sunshine and have a dancey dance. 

New single from No Doubt - Settle Down

It's been a hella long time coming, but it's been worth the wait. Stefani has still got it - how the hell has she not aged a day?! 


Love it. 

New Hampstead Tea packaging, hmmmm looks familiar...

2000 Gallons of Mud....

So it's been a busy few weeks with not a lot happening, other than the usual day to day busyness of life, but this weekend saw the annual trip to 2000 trees festival with my good friend Phillippa.
Basically, we put in a few shifts at the bar, which I kind of enjoy anyway and we get free tickets. Bonus.
Although this year was a hella lot muddy than usual (literally, never seen mud like it), we pitched camp, pulled pints, had a bit of a dance and dressed up as Sims, as you do (this years fancy dress theme was video games characters, I would like to think I excelled myself this year, I am known as The Don of fancydress) and had a muddy good time. Also now have a few more favourite musical likes to add to my playlist. Good times all round.
Below are a few snippets from our muddy weekend, and a few samples from my new musical finds... 

Excuse the squiffyness of the image, haven't quite figured out how to rotate images in blogspot! 


And here are my musical likes of the weekend... 


Lucy Rose has a gorgeous voice... 

As do Lanterns on The Lake.. 

Goodnight Lenin are a local brummy band (well local to me), and were a lovely bunch of chaps.. 

And I have once again rekindled my love for The Futureheads after seeing a brilliant acoustic set from them, followed by there much more lively one on the main stage.. 

So even though it was a complete mudfest, it was definitely a weekend to remember, and we managed to catch a bit of sunshine as well as polishing my driving in the mud in the middle of a field skills. Win. 

Something to make you smile on a rainy day...
