Day 18: Thursday 29th April 2010

Looks like I have a 5 day weekend ahead of me! With no job and only working 3 days at the internship I have one hell of a long weekend. My parents have gone to Cornwall for the weekend which means I get the house to myself, which I must confess I love. Lots of writing, blogging, washing and job hunting to be done. That plus time with the boyfriend and possibly camping fun with friends :) Today looked like this: Lie in and lazy morning with the boy, afternoon enjoying the new Lazyboy chair and the latest Elle. BLISS.

Day 17: Wednesday 28th April 2010

I'm afraid its yet another iPhone camera job today- my poor SLR is a bit knackered and needed its battery charging, so I did a quick self portrait. Tried to make it look pretty and sepia like, (just like yesterdays), to disguise the poor quality!! Normal pretty service will resume tomorrow, promise.

Day 16: Tuesday 27th April 2010

Had a coffee with my manager at the internship today, to discuss how things are going ("well" I told her, Can I please stay?!). When ordering at the cafe I asked for a small mocha. This is what I got!! I call it mini mocha. Another iPhone wonder, and terrible quality, and not very arty blah blah blah. But it made me laugh :D Shame it tasted rubbish....

Day 15: Monday 26th April 2010

Another day in sunny London for me and another iPhone pic for you. I saw these hats and it made me excited for summer, come on sun keep on shining :D

Other things I saw today that made me smile include: Happy man singing and playing steel drums, another happy man walking whilst singing and strumming his guitar, 3 fields (1 full of bunny's, 1 full of cows and 1 full of horses and their bubbas), the smallest sausage dog in the world and a very angry market stall man trying to argue with a stoner. Didn't work.

Little things make me smile :)

Day 14: Sunday 25th April 2010

Hung out with my sis today which was nice :) Went into town to hand out CV's then watched a very girly film, a thoroughly girly day. She's just finished cutting my hair off and I'm off to show it to Antony! Hope he likes it :s

Here's a pic of my pretty sis!

Day 13: Saturday 24th April 2010

Another sunny day! Went for a lovely walk in Windsor with the family and saw sooo many things to photograph. There was an old man who looked so incredibly deep in thought whilst mindlessly drinking coffee alone. Really wanted to take his picture, but there was no way to do it subtly and didn't want to embarrass him by snapping his intimate moment with himself. So instead here's what I got-

Colourful things; everyone had balloons, and pretty pastel doors:






Monochrome things; Black and white pictures of dead Oaks, how the mighty have fallen. But still so beautiful I personally think they're mightier than ever.



Day 12: Friday 23rd April 2010

What amazing weather we're having at the moment? Today has been a good food day for me. My boyfriend cooked me an EPIC lunch of stuffed chicken breast with chorizo, potatoes and cherry tomatoes....NOM. I then ordered Chinese with the girls and watched Napoleon Dynamite ("Whatever I feel like.....GOD"). I love eating without a second thought, used to suffer from an eating disorder years ago so the whole idea of eating thoughtlessly still makes me smile :) Here's lunch which we ate in the sun.

Day 11: Thursday 22nd April

Today was a good day...and a little bit rubbish at the same time. My lovely boyfriend Antony took me to London Zoo for the day!! Had the best time playing hide and seek with monkeys and getting friendly with giraffes :D but then I got a phone call saying my part-time job couldn't keep me on due to financial reasons. So that kind of put a dampener on my fun. It's more irritating than anything, back to job hunting again. Boo.

Oh well, I've still got the internship and that's the most important thing to me right now. After the call me and Antony strolled down to Camden for a wonder. LOVE Camden. I want to live in a barge on the river there. Please? Anyway loads of pics from today, mostly taken by Antony!!- here are the most 'arty' of the bunch....

Day 10: Wednesday 21st April 2010

Thought I'd mix things up today with a picture from my new iPhone, cos I'm cerrr-azy like that. Had to take a pic of my table at Coffee Republic at lunch, think the man that works there has taken a shine to me... he keeps giving me discounts. Hehe. I know I should be supporting the indie coffee shops and I'm feeding the corporate machine etc. etc.... but I've become slightly addicted to discounted mocha's. Don't judge me!

Day 9: Tuesday 20th April 2010

Got to work from home today for the internship! Was nice to listen to music and wear scruffy clothes for a change. One downside? Door to door salesmen and automated phone calls interrupting me!! Pfft. Anyway, I noticed this necklace stand on the windowsill in our study and think I may be adopting it. Love the light in these photo's, took one of the stand naked and one dressed in my charms.

Day 8: Monday 19th April 2010

Back to London town for Internship today, got there early and saw this. I would very much like it if someone could give me one? Oh and a driving lisence too, that'd be grand. Ta.



Day 7: Sunday 18th April 2010

This is my favourite picture so far, I took it when I met Antony after work. We sat on a bench opposite a shop window that used to be Woolworth's. It is now full of wood and rubble, quite a sad state of affairs. Either way I saw the reflection and loved the way it makes us look as if we're sitting on top of a pile of debry. Best thing about this project- always have a camera on hand to take pictures that jump out of nowhere.

Day 6: Saturday 17th April 2010

Wahoo- first day off since jobs started! Luckily for me it was a sunny one full of lovely things like lunch with friends, coffee with more friends, BBQ with other friends then evening out with friends and sister! Gotta love friends :D

Also my mum found these my little pony's in the garage! One of my first memories was crying in playgroup when a lil brat stole my pony. Couldn't resist a pic of them in the garden.

Day 5: Friday 16th April 2010

Ooops, I'm late in posting this one! It's gonna happen from time to time unfortunately. Today I had another day at the part-time job, really enjoying it- it's a baby's clothes shop and is run by a lovely family. After work I saw my boyfriend for the first time this week! He cooked me an amazing meal of steak and red wine risotto and we stayed in and watched 'In The Loop', really funny political comedy. I fell asleep on him though, so shattered :( Anyway I took a couple of pics in his room so it's a double wammy for you- his Guitar and JD.

Day 4: Thursday 15th April 2010

If you haven't seen this film, please do- Hit-Girl is my new Idol. Love the look of the electric theatre on Portabello road, really want to see inside it! Great day today at the internship, got lots done and really enjoyed it :) Also got three compliments on my necklace by fashion people :o Today was a good day!

Day 3: Wednesday 14th April 2010

Day three of my little project and it was back to London town with me! Had a good second day of the internship- just frustrated I don't know what I'm doing yet! I'm terrible at the whole learning process. Anyway, picture today comes from one of the many gorgeous boutiques down Portabello Road, 'Appletree', I just love these three models. I would like to own one and use it for creating masterpieces. Cos I could totally do that....what?

Day 2: Tuesday 13th April 2010

Second day for this project and another first day at work for me- yesterday was day one of internship, today was day one of part time job! Went well today, lovely little shop with great people. Had to take a photo of the blossom opposite my house today- so pretty! Gotta love spring time hey :)

Day 1: 12th April 2010

Wow, day 1 of project 365! I got the idea to do this after reading a book about photography that my boyfriend got me, and I thought it would be a great way to get back into photography. I used to study it at college but now it is no more than a fun hobby. Even so, I love it and am excited for this project especially as I've just taken on an internship and part-time job, I'm starting a whole new chapter in my life and couldn't think of a better time to start project 365.

Here's photo number 1:






I took it on my way home from day 1 at my fashion internship, the graffitti near portabello road is fantastic and makes me wanna pick up a spray can.....
