stewed apples and raisins, served hot with yoghurt and honey.
magic darts !

who's shoes ?
who's shoes ?
i would make it into a competition, but i can't really tell you who the shoe
on the left belongs to.
let's just say you've definitely seen a lot of photos of her in the press this year.
secret santa
mrs w received some tidy chocolate from a secret santa the other night
i'm not a big fan of chocolate to be honest
but...
hmmm... maybe i'll try some of this
and...
yeah, i'll definitely have a go on this one.
i think the banana stuff will go nicely with a hot chocolate and
the cherry nonsense with a coffee... yep, that's the plan.
chocolate times at whitfield towers.

twentytwentyone interiors
i did a few interior shots at my favourite shop yesterday.
it has to be the most stylish shop in town
and now it's bigger and better than ever
if only there was somewhere nearby to grab a nice coffee...
of course i couldn't leave my favourite shop without taking a photo of my favourite person.
spare photos
as regular readers will know, i have a blog folder on my mac which i slip
photos into and occasionally after a few months, i have some shots
left over which i didn't use but i thought were too good to throw away.
hmmm... perhaps sometimes it's because they're interesting rather than
good, but anyway, as i'm tidying up my affairs before christmas...
here are a few efforts i've got kicking around in my blog folder.
1.
my mexican flag inspired nike dunks.
i think i wore these for the day of the dead and i meant to do a blog post all
about 'el dia de los muertos'... but words are not really my thing, so i didn't.
2.
a photo of la niña when she was little.
i was going to do a 2011 version of this shot a few months ago...
but we ran out of time and la niña headed up north.
3.
a coffee somewhere... i think it was at the farmer's market around the corner
from whitfield towers a few weeks ago. i took a few photos there but they weren't
very interesting... a shot of coffee though, i always find that interesting.
4.
a photo of stel which i took the first day i met her
5.
i pretty much always photograph my footwear on a saturday morning.
it's always good to have one shot in the bag for one of my
"on saturday i..." posts
then again sometimes i think you're getting tired of seeing my kicks so
i don't publish them.
6.
no idea where this was. i was probably intending to publish this photo with a rant
about how i don't like these glasses and i especially don't like the big long
spoons that go with them... but i spared you.
7.
this was at the riding house cafe... the joint that had the squirrel wall lights.
i think it's a lamp base fashioned from an old gas pipe... or would it be a water
pipe ? who knows ? anyway, i thought it was quite interesting.
8.
i was in a corking cafe near warren street the other day. i asked for a card
but they didn't have any so they just stamped a piece of till roll for me.
i will return to this place soon and do a full blog review. it was a belter.
9.
many things here. you know full well that i like flags right ?
fair play to the septics... they do have one of the best flags going.
i also love the way it's used as a backdrop here. it makes me want to do something
similar with a welsh flag or a union jack.
i like tattoos, though i'm not keen on this blokes ink.
and finally, lana del rey... what can i say ? i only know two of her songs to be
honest but i can't get them out of my head.
i was going to use this grab to talk about her but i figured it was better to just
post her videos.
10.
ha ha ! i put these on the other day to go out... then took them off and
put them back in the box.
you have to trust me with these... in real life they look b-i-g.
11.
this is one of my textbook shots but it didn't quite come off.
i ask the girl to look at me like she's in love with me with all her heart, then i just
look away or look like i don't care. it's a tried and tested shot and i have
a whole load of these in my collection.
unfortunately here, i think stel doesn't have the look of love in her eyes...
i think she's looking at me with some suspicion...
... good girl !
12.
well this is the flat white that came with it...
it tasted like dirt.

friday night...
this is of little interest to anybody in the world apart from the three of us, but...
on friday night i went out for a few beers with my entourage kingpin neil
and one of my all time heroes, elvis.
elvis took this photo of me and neil while he was outside the pub mingling.
i like that you can see elvis's reflection and that he's laughing while me
and neil are looking moody.
i haven't seen the two of them properly for a long, long time
but after less than five minutes the three of us were in stitches...
giggling like schoolgirls about a subject i can't very well talk about
on a respectable platform such as this... it was a great night.
it was a night when it makes you realise how important it is to have good
friends. it was a night when you realise just how close you are to people.
am i rambling ? yes probably. it was just a few beers with two blokes i know...
... but it was one of the best nights of the year.
i'll leave you with this poor iphone shot of the three of us
just don't ask what our hands were doing !
breakfast in n1
i was in n1 earlier today and decided to grab a late breakfast.
rather than me just go on and start moaning about what was wrong
i will simply post a photo of it here and invite comments.
you must know me by now ?
what do you think irked me about this breakfast ?
i will give a prize to whoever is closest to giving the reasons i
found this to be an annoying dish set before me.
i asked for poached eggs on toast and before my cousin busts in...
yes, i was given a knife and fork.
good luck.
