Le Globe.

Well hello there!
It's nearly (so nearly) spring now!

I went on a trip to the globe last week for our coursework. The best part for me was lunch to be honest, we went to this great restaurant called Vapianos where you get a little card and order your meal to it in a kind of buffet style, then you present the card to the till at the end.
They had free prosecco at the door and this oh so delicious Ice tea to buy. It's called Arizona Ice tea and it came in a pretty big glass bottle with such cute package design. I looked it up and I don't think it's readily available in the UK, but its big in Europe and America. I took a photo for reference and enjoyment :)


(They also had free packets of pasta, and gummy bears at the till. I rest my case.)

The Cardigan of Mixed Emotions...

On Saturday, alongside 100 or so elaborately attired ragamuffins, I nerded out at an event for the release of Dave Brown and Noel Fielding’s new book 'The Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton' in Golden Square, Soho.
It was a pretty mixed bunch, including at least 5 sporting Noel's hair, one woman who had been at the square since the night before, 1 man dressed as an elephant, several hardcore emos and 1 impressively dressed vintage couple. The crowd were buzzy and emitted an impressively loud scream when the duo appeared and began the main event, painting a billboard with a wonderfully colourful and childlike painting of a tiger sporting red boots and 2 ghosts.



Twas an eclectic mix of  painting, comedy, medieval music and breakdancing hedgehogs.There was also a painting area for people to create their own witty masterpieces, the best title going to 'The mixed Emotions Cardigan'. I also got my copy of the book signed, which was definitely the highlight of my week :) Yay for Painting and Noel Fielding and Dave Brown!
