Praha

I just got back from a lovely weekend in Prague, visiting Netty.

Unlike the pre-conceived ideas I had of the city, it is not full of prostitutes, stag or hen dos. If they are there, I didn't notice it. I thought it was very relaxed and laid back.

I was amazed at how cheap things are. You can buy a glass of wine or large beer for about £1. It's so cheap. The average price for a meal was like £5.00.

Netty and I pose for the obligatory photo.

View of Prague Castle and bridge as night falls. We literally waiting for 2 hours waiting for the sun to set to take this picture! 

The tower with crawling "babies" - also known as Žižkov Television Tower. The apartment we were staying has this creepy tower outside. It's just plain weird! 

Getting the priorities right!!!

This is Prague orloj, or The Prague astronomical clock. Every hour the figures on each side move. You should see the hoards of tourists overtime this happens. It is mayhem!!

Gods Own Junkyard

I stumbled across this neon sign makers in Walthamstow. It's the oldest sign makers in London. It is really cool! 

Sew Amazing!

I've been on a bit of a 'positive everything' kick and just been super productive. I bought this top pattern ages ago and have been meaning to get round to making it. At last I have finally got off my arse and just got on with it. I bought this material in Singapore last year. It's a Malaysian Batik print. It's a bit of a crazy print but I really love it anyway!

May the 4th be with you

It was May 4th (Star Wars Day) and I was randomly walking down the street when a Storm Trooper was crossing the street, seemingly minding his own business. Since I was in hipster Shoreditch no one seemed to even bat an eye (oh those trendy types - too cool for school). I however, got so excited and chased the Storm Trooper down and begged - ok exaggeration - asked for a photo. May the 4th be with you!!

Marvin the Martian

I have a cat. His name is Thom, but sometimes I think he looks like Marvin the Martian. Who would ever have thought that anti fur Jen would get a pet! I do find myself hoovering the flat even more than I normally do. I think I might need to buy a Roomba!

The artist in me

I felt inspired to paint. Here is my Rothko inspired art work.
