Twenty-six
I’m heading to a couple of LFW things on Friday, going to Manchester for the weekend (to see Adele *squee!*), and then popping to another LFW show on Monday. Clearly I’ve got a busy few days planned – and I’ve not even packed for my trip to the mothership yet – so I may be MIA for a while but I’ll still be tweeting at @ByBlahBlahBecky if you’re missing me… ;) In the meantime here’s (part of) what I got up to on my birthday last Wednesday.
Sea life
As I’ve mentioned very briefly already, Chris took me to the London Aquarium for my birthday. We spent 2 hours enthralled by Green Sea Turtles, sharks, crocodiles, ‘Nemos’, Big Bellied Seahorses, Foxface Rabbitfish (seriously), and of course the new Gentoo Penguins. My favourite were the rays, who are natural born show-offs and are just so adorable-ly playful.
It wasn’t what we had planned initially (damned trains) but I had such a lovely day and I’m always happy to be a tourist in London, despite the fact that I live here again now. (In other London antics, tonight Chris and I are attending a recording of Jonathon Ross’s new show and the guests include Stephen Fry and Hugh Jackman – I’m still struggling to get over the fact that if we’d gone 2 weeks ago I’d have been in the presence of SJP and Adele. Woe is me.)
Video: Fishy behaviour
Here’s some very simple footage I shot using my crappy old phone. I couldn’t resist the urge to overlay the video with a clichéd but wonderful Disney song…I’m sure you’ll have guessed which one (:
And the winner is…
The winner of my giveaway for 2 tickets for London Fashion Weekend, courtesy of Lavazza Coffee, is:
Adele of Into The Blonde!
Congratulations Adele, I hope you and your plus 1 have an amazing time! (:
