Zooma
Hurray! I made it to the zoo and yes, the photography came out OK. The Frog vs. Snake one at the top is one of my all time favourites, along with the monkey family. Anyway, it was another weekend of films, beating last week by one. I ended up watching six in a weekend:
- The Sitter (Cinema)
- The Red Balloon
- Cyrus
- Total Recall
- Bad Lieutenant (2009′s)
- The Big Lebowski
Fierce Street Photography
Love both of these. I’ll start a new 2012 showcase soon. They’ll also be posted on Faces of London. More here and here.
Kitchen Science in 1964
Time to go back to the past again. It’s Sunday which means another post from Home Management 1964. Last time was eating habits – today’s the magical world of kitchen improvements and the supposed science behind it. Yes, people did studies into the perfect kitchen layout (in all honesty, they probably still do), but a well designed kitchen was a larger deal when it was the women’s destiny to occupy it. It really is amazing how the world has changed for the better in 50 short years. Yes, cutlery draws really were an amazing invention once…
Film Roundup – The Good, The Bad & The Average
Talk about the definition of a lazy weekend. I love films and recently I’ve been taking full advantage of Sky Go. Everyone’s been harking on about Netflix’s arrival in the UK and while it is indeed a good service, Sky Go has a huge selection of constantly changing films available. This weekend I’ve watched (all for the first time):
- The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
- Daybreakers
- Africa United
- Hanna (DVD)
Last weekend it was:
- The Other Guys
- Howl (DVD – it lived up to my expectations).
- The Book of Eli
Have you seen any of the above? Let me know on Twitter or in the comments below. I’m hoping to see The Artist soon.
2012: The Holiyear
Nostalgia is a powerful thing. People often say you don’t appreciate your travelling experiences until you’ve returned. That’s a lie – I had a great time in Japan and while there I really did enjoy myself. Having returned to England, I appreciated the amazing experience even more and it spurred me on to make the most of my youth, health and life. Seeing the world is the aim of mine (or at least it is at 23) – everything I do goes towards the next trip. Having just booked some more flights today, I thought I’d share my confirmed trips for 2012.
- Jan – Barcelona Weekend (to see my Uncle)
- March – Lisbon Weekend (with friends)
- June – Rail Trip Round Spain (solo mini adventure)
- Oct/Nov – China 3 Weeks (The Big One)
