project 365: 089-095

089 Kind of excited that I can get most of my hair into a bun.

090 Preparing for Easter with all the Mini Eggs in my Moomin egg. At this point my sweets&chocolate lent was starting to be a bit of a pain, haha.

091  First of April in my Moomin calendar and a rainy day. I'm fine with having rainy days in April though because April showers bring May flowers, and I need to stay inside doing uni work anyway.

092 Some of my neighbours have really lovely flowers and I want to start gardening myself too, haha:-)

 

093 All the books I was going to read during Easter. You can guess how many I've read so far... 

094 Wee chicks.

095 Easter! I love Easter. I spent quite a while painting all my Mignon chocolate eggs (and am still not any good at painting, haha) and even more time eating all the chocolate and other food.

paddingtonesque

Top - Primark

Shorts - H&M

Coat - Urban Outfitters

Shoes - New look

Rucksack - Amazon

Just thought I'd do a quick outfit photo of what I wore in London, although it feels like this was ages ago already and you've pretty much seen this if you've had a read through any of my recent posts. We spent a lot of time walking or taking the tube around London, so basically my outfit for these few days was only this blue coat, black tights and these shoes, haha. And underneath a varying mix of patterns. This may have been the second time already that some random (guy) has commented that it's too cold to show my midriff yet. But it was sunny in between the gusts of wind, which means that clearly it's not too cold. I was still wearing a winter coat so that was weather appropriate as well. Without the fur lining of the hood, this coat reminds me of Paddington (Did any of you watch the new movie, it was so adorable!). I love Paddington. As much as I'm happy about the weather being warmer and spring pretty much being here, I'm sad that I've had to say goodbye to my wee winter coat. It didn't get to be worn that much this past winter!

Also, you'll be glad to know that this was the last of my London posts, haha. But I still need to make my next trip as I've been really unprepared with my planning. So it's well possible that there'll be more London posts in the future. (Also, as soon as I know when I'm going, I'm still accepting applications to become my theatre pal..)

Photos are by Johanna and Jenna. One of them has a blog that's in Finnish, that you can check out if you want to! :-)

the seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake

How mad does this fish look?

And how done with life does this turtle look?

I have a lot of mixed feelings about aquariums and zoos. As much as I love them and seeing animals and things I most likely wouldn't otherwise get to see, they make me really depressed at the same time. A lot of them just look so apathetic and miserable, and it looks like some of them don't have that much space to live. Then again I don't really know how large their territory would be in the outside world anyway. And what might look apathetic to me might be their regular resting face. Often if you see an animal laying in one place that can be due to it just having a nice warm spot there and it won't want to move. And a lot of them have been born in captivity so they are likely not to survive in the wild. So, I do love seeing them. I especially find the world under water fascinating, it's just so different and you never see this kind of stuff. I still dream  of being a red-capped little helper on the Calypso and seeing all these wee ones in the sea. And I did sign a few petitions to save the whales while at Sea Life, so I hope that evens this out.

meeting a lot of honeys

I loved revisiting Madame Tussauds. (It annoys me a bit that the apostrophe isn't used..) And in ~10 years there was some new faces to see, as well as lots of old friends. I suppose that's inevitable as nothing will stay the same for a decade. For example Pirates of the Caribbean had changes to One Direction, and there was a lot more younger generation actors and artists like Emma Watson and Twilight people and what not. I don't remember the Tudor representation having been that extensive either, so that was exciting. It was funny to see how my interests had sifted since the age of 13. Although I still mostly like similar things, my favourite films, books and music hasn't changed, the wax works I was more interested to see (and have my picture taken with) weren't necessarily the same. Last time I think I was much more into sports and locking arms with Michael Owen back then was the dream. I also loved Napoleon and lots of other figures in history at that time, but that may have increased a bit. I have pictures of me posing with Usain Bolt and little snaps of the Beckhams from this trip too, but clearly I love my historical and political honeys more. Blessing the peasants with my man Benedict XVI was the best thing. Then again, some things never change, and for me the highlight at Madame Tussauds will probably always be The Beatles.

Again, photos of me are by Johanna and Jenna.

project 365: 082-088

082 Sometimes I love the sun streaming into my room in the morning, sometimes I don't. 

 083 Uni life.

084 Maryland's Gooeys are so good, you guys. Hadn't had any in about a year and now the love has been renewed. 'Gooeys' maybe isn't the most appetizing name, but the chocolatey centre of these lil' ones is scrumptious. 

085 Arrived in Bath in the evening!

086 I went to Bath for a job interview and had a day of exploring the city. Although today I got the news that I didn't get the job, I'm still really happy that I went as I had a lovely time in Bath. Such a pretty city, and there's still so much for me to go back to explore:-)

087 Baked some cookies.

088 After being out for my housemate's birthday the night before, I had the laziest day lounging around in my new Hogwarts t-shirt. How amazing is it? And it was £3, I think. I don't really want to wear anything else from now on.

Did you get up to anything exciting last week?
