Cool Shit Sunday. Where is it?

If you happened to see a post I did last Sunday about wanting to do a weekly post about cool shit that I find and were wondering where it is now that it’s actually Monday, well here is the reason I didn’t get it together
 I had furniture delivered and so spent Sunday cleaning and moving shit around to accommodate the shinny (and it really is very shinny) new piece.


Here are some before and after pictures for you...I promise you they are real B&A pictures I didn’t Photoshop or air brush them in any way.

 BEFORE

After

As you can see I still have some tidying to do but it is a vast improvement don’t you think?

So I will be back with Cool Shit Sunday next Sunday unless I get distracted with something again...which is entirely possible! But you will never know if you don't come back and have a look....

BBQ Sunday

So we were supposed to have a garlic meeting a few Sundays ago but unfortunately the Niniku(garlic) people couldn’t come, we did however still have a fun BBQ. Here are a couple photos of my funky fellow BBQ lovers.
 I’m sorry to report that there are no pictures of BBQ food as people were to busy eating to take photos, so I snapped a few in the intermission between the BBQ frenzy and Cheese cake for dessert... I whipped up that home style looking cheesy strawberry deliciousness myself; thanks mum for the recipe!

Thank you to my new found friends for a deliciously fun carnivorous day.....

Ps: try to ignore the mess that is my work room…

VNV Nation - Illusion

Isn't it a wonderful thing when a friend shares something that resonates with you and brings you joy for the connection that can found by two people from seemingly different worlds... and so I share it with you, and hope you enjoy it as much as I have; a great song a little melancholic but beautiful in its message.

Have a great day peeps!
