The shelvs in the kitchen have seemed grotty and horribly for ages, so I finally got around to recovering them =) Just remind me to have the cupboard doors closed when we have an inspection on Thursday!!

Effectively aerobics to hip-hop with added dance moves - which su...

We're going on holiday for a little bit (Wilts, South Coast and France). Not sure when I'll have chance to post photos so I've sketched out the next few days at least ;) Take care and see you soon xx

Years ago Charlotte and I hosted a Buffy themed cocktail evening. Somewhere we posted up recipes, it was a good night. This post on Kotaku reminded me of that (and then swiftly the brain ache that followed the next day) http://scrollbar.dk/events/20080509.Final.Fantasy.Night/
