I went to a tea party today at Zoe's house today.
It was all lovely and civilized, until we put on an old Aretha Franklin CD and started chasing each other around the kitchen with cake knives. I arrived home this afternoon with 'war paint' stripes on my face and strawberry jam on my sister's favourite dress (which she kindly let me borrow... in secret...).
We're going harbour jumping again tomorrow, and then my cousins and uncle will be arriving from Paris for the weekend. Joy of joys, I have to spend the weekend with extended family celebrating my grandmother's 80th birthday. Fabulous.

I've recently become obsessed by the work of two American artists, Aimee Wilder and Kime Buzzelli. Their styles are so different but both work in a way that I find really inspiring. They've both also designed capsule collections for Vans.

I might be going to see Lenny Kravitz play in France while I'm there this summer. How cool?!

Harbour jumping on Thursday with Daisy and Antje (though mostly just Daisy, Antje got too cold and retired to taking pictures!). So much fun... Everyone should have a harbour!

I just discovered NASA's Picture Of The Day database. For some reason I'm completely obsessed with Space at the moment. Anyway, here's NASA's picture for today;

I had planned to take the dog for a walk, but it's pissing with rain and I don't want to get wet - I've only just dried off from the weekend! So, instead, here's my current 'Exam Leave Playlist';

I got back last night from Hannah's birthday party on the West Coast. Her family part-rents this lodge by the sea, so a bunch of us went over and spent the weekend there. It was brilliant, we didn't do much - there was a bit of kayaking and we had planned to go swimming, but the rain cut that short - let's just say I'm now very good at shuffling cards! No, but it was really good fun. It was nice to wind down and relax a bit before the chaos of exams properly kicks in.









Speaking of exams, I've got maths tomorrow. I was attempting revision but it's got a magic knack of dragging my mood down, so I gave up and put on some of dad's old records instead.
