Was that too many ‘sweets’ in the title? Well it’s probably enough to describe how many sweets I have this weekend, courtesy of this lovely halal and vegetarian-friendly sweet hamper by The Sweet Path.
I’ve been curled up all weekend with a good book (or three) and munching away slowly at these – don’t they look pretty?
I’ve had a pretty busy week this week, so I’m finally settled in this Sunday and multi-tasking with some yummy home-made chocolate cake, blogging catch-up and getting on with that (digital) stack of books I’ve been waiting to read.
I’m hoping to do a few book reviews for this week, so watch this space! In the meantime, here’s my view today : )
Happy weekendings, all x
I went on a e-book downloading spree a few days ago, and have been spending my free time trying to catch up on that long list of books waiting to be read! I’ve noticed that a few of the books I’ve read or reviewed recently have not been new one, so I’m aiming to review books that have released in 2017.
I’m still catching up, so bear with me – this is an interesting book about a con-man who may or may not get his comeuppance – I’ve only just started it but it looks promising!
That time of the week again! Here’s a few links to keep you going through Monday…!
Some beautiful rocks. Beats the crappy pebbles in my garden (and probably cost a lot more!)
Thought this was interesting – what do your doodles say about you? I think I’m definitely the messy multi-tasker!
Tiny animals in tiny sweaters for your daily ‘awwwwww!’ It’s enough to make me consider taking up knitting.
We all know that Bill Murray has a habit of wandering into parties. weddings, random tours and even weddings to make a brief appearance (and telling guest ‘they’ll never believe you”) – his latest audience was at the White House! Have a look at some of his random comments here.
So these are new – ice cream rolls. It’s too cold for ice cream in London now though, I’ll stick to sweater rolls and hot chocolate.
So this is an artist I’ve been following for a little while, and I LOVE her work – the Pakistani Martha Stewart; a mix of Bollywood, Pakistani idioms, satire and outright humour!
Candles which have smells inspired by books – how can you not love that?
If you were a 90s child like me then this is heaven – watch your Nickolodeon favourites from the 90s here!
Time for the weekly links!
So these look cool – trainers which can let you upload any digital design on the surface, so you can change them to match your outfit! ShiftWear sneakers – there’s debate about whether these are a scam or not, but it’s cool idea! You can see a demo here as well.
The famous Salvador Dali and Disney made a short movie together – and it’s available to watch more than 50 years after it was made! You can watch it on Youtube now – it’s got the signature Dali style to it, very surreal and dreamy, but I kind of loved it.
Buildings designed to look like other things – some of these are bonkers.
Smart-ass vandalism, gotta love some of these.
I thought these were brilliants – a gif of 11 actors and their most iconic film roles summed up.
Harry Potter – re-done by Pencilmation! The entire movie done in two minutes in a pencil, cartoon style. Check out their other movies too (I love the Ghostbusters one!)
I thought this was interesting – a photo series by artist Baljit Singh to highlight the mentality of dowry in Asian culture, and how this can affect a girl’s life from a young age.
Cat heads placed on owl bodies – it’s weird how well some of these fit.
Gemma Correll’s guide to the mundane, everyday worries of life.
Caught a little wildlife this morning, which I was lucky enough to find in my back garden – plenty of flittering butterflies floating in and out and lots of bumblebees as well. I didn’t managed to get many pictures of the butterflies because they were a little too quick for me, but here are two of my favourite shots : )
With a chocolate cupcake, some drawing pens and some chick-flicky reading material. Yup, all ready for a wild Friday night (with a movie!)
I’ve been reading a lot murder mysteries lately, so I’m in a mood for something silly today – weekly links time!
I’m loving these beautiful funkadelic rainbow lightbulbs which throw patterns on the wall – probably not the best light for when you’re trying to cook in the kitchen, but hey, it’s so pretty!
Unmasked superheroes – some of these are not what you’d expect!
History’s most powerful and poignant letters and diary entries – prepare to feel moved.
So this is 6,000 matches being lit at the same time which is weirdly satisfying to watch.
So this is a receipt for rainbow pizza. Eat it at your own risk.
Me and social media.
A little dose of Disney – Disney characters in the real world. I quite like the idea of little mice from Cinderella running around, although it’s probably not a safe scenario there! More from the creator, here.
A review of every James Bond movie by animated spy agent Archer. Don’t expect much from this guy.
Some of these are beautiful – photos merged with fantasy for some very cool pictures. Something to try at home, perhaps.
And now, a rap.
Something I’ve been reading this weekend, trying a little comedy and feminism wrapped up by the inimitable Caitlin Moran. What are you reading right now?
The weather has been slightly more schizo than lately, but we’ve been lucky enough to enjoy the rain (and hailstones!) from inside with this lovely long bank holiday weekend! I’m sure you know I have an obsession with trees (and chocolate) so naturally I took the chance to take a picture of these today when rushing out to the shops to buy snacks for a lazy Sunday!
Enjoy the weekend all!
