Cup 18/05/09

Cup 18/05/09

Back on the bicycle today after no cycling during April (well that sounds better than a break of 7 weeks). A mixed fruit smoothie and a bran muffin is my breakfast, although I need to investigate a recipe which isn't quite so sugary. The ride in was noticeably warmer - this has been the first ride this year where I did not arrive at work with frozen toes.

Cup 15/05/09

Cup 15/05/09
Apologies for the lariness of this - I was doodleling and colouring it in yesterday evening whilst watching (I am ashamed to confess) the 2nd semi-final of the Eurovision song contest. Which may explain the brashness of it. There were some good entries and some not so good ones as well as some plain bizarre. If you saw it too you would understand me when I say "Green gimp". In case you feel you have missed out you will be able to see what I mean on Saturday night as despite the bizarreness (to these Western European eyes anyway) the song was okay and qualified for the final. I may or may not catch it, apparently the German entry has Dita Von Teese performing along side (and we have the Andrew Lloyd Webber, hmmmmm) and France has gone for class this year in the form of the sublime Patricia Kass. I am a big fan of France ever since the genius of last years entry (now sadly better known as the song playing during the Renault Megane ad) - Sebastian woz robbed. (So were Turkey)

The weekend

A bit of gardening.

A bit of experimental muffin baking

Rocky Road muffins

Rhubarb and Custard muffins


and a wee bit of sewing (via Podophile) which doesn't even merit a picture (but it does work).

A cup-a-doodle-a-day

I have found that I have run out of my initial supply of college papers, despite some augmentation in February. The month of May I have decided to have as a doodle month. I doodle a lot during the day anyway so have decided to use my doodles for a good cause - a cup a day. Also I want to use doodling as way to get drawing in a regular again with crippling myself with judgemental thoughts. I am also using some of my artist pens (which are really just swanky felt tips for adults).
