Today I made a mini spinach keish: cheese, butter, 1 egg, salt, pepper, spinach, rocket, garlic and a teaspoon of water, then put the mix into some pastry (butter and flour) thats been rolled over a baking tin then baked. Ive never had keish before, ohhhh man was it good, I was really surprised at how easy it is to make a decent keish, and you can vary it how you like, this was just what i happened to have in the cupboard but you can add sausage, different types of cheeses, oils etc.

So after a weekend of not much sleep followed by a Monday morning 4 am wake up for a 6.30 am flight, we spent 3 day and a bit days in Prague eatings and drinking a lot of booze. It was a pretty city but the weather was about the same as here, wet.
I buy a Vogue as a sovernier from every country I got to, for prague they had Russian Vogue, but it was £12, pft not likley! Instead I bought an big bottle of Ameretto £4 and a bottle of vodka for £3.50, cheap!

Friday night we watched day of the dead (2008) didt make it to cinema, and I can see why, cheap, bad acting, plot made no sence, seem to be a hash of resident evil and dawn of the dead badly mixed where zombie could climb walls : / Then we watched Norwegian film dod sno (Dead Snow) id seen 10 mins of it half way though, awhile back and switched it off, I then saw the trailer pop up on the apple website and saw the horror film websites giving it a good review, I should have watched the whole thing.
Heres why dead snow is good from a horror movie point of view
- its nicely shot
- its super gory
- its original, even if thats in the craziest way (Nazi Zombies)
- it doesn't take itself two seriously, in a sort of shawn of the dead way
- there is no cheesy acting

Phil said it was crap but I think he was looking at it from a different way than me, plus he came in half way to all the craziness, you need to watch the beginning because it builds up the tension nicely, and it doesn't follow the usual clique roles.

Then Saturday are washing machine broke and flooded the kitchen, its been a bit dodgy recently so we tried to drain it, but instead it flooded, all this fowl smelling water came out and we had to mop 5 times.

While I was in Prague I got lots of interior design ideas which I put in a mood board collection below, the last place i lived at had a real minimalist brown/cream Swede them, now Im totally into countryside shabby sheik. They had this chain store called inner decor, full to the brim of the kind of ornate things i like, like old trunks and frames, clocks, cookie jars etc like an antique store but brand new and expensive, faux clutter, i took lots of photos for ideas for my flat. Im going to have a metal mannequin bust made for me by one of the girls who was on the trip as she is a black smith, also I'm going to get an old style dressing shutter and distress some old furniture and give it a blue/white wash, replace the handles with silver knobs. I have also seen a sofa cover in ikea that i want to replace my current one. At the moment I have some dusty metal plant pots for my herbs and orchid in the kitchen and a wooden bread bin, as well as some white sheets with faded grey floral pattern.

So last weekend we went to Westfields because Phils bro wanted to take part in a competition to win an xbox by playing rock band, except he failed to mention it was a kids competition...and it was Lego Rock Band. We won by the way, and I made sure to take lots of photographs for black mail later on. A few days later a nice black xbox turned up and a children's Lego Rock Band t-shirt, which of course fit me, so now I'm sporting it. Everyone but Ash felt guilty for playing and totally wooping a bunch of kids at a kids game, my only regret is that they didn't wear the sparkly wigs and star sun glasses that were available to play in. I think the worst part is those 3 all already have xbox's and there just going to sell it, next time I think Lego will put age restrictions on their competitions.



Thursday night Phil and I made brownies and watched Terminator Salvation, I thought I'd like it more than I did, Philip didnt like it at all. Now I'm packing as Monday morning I have a very early flight to Prague. Peace Out

So yesterday was a manic day, I had my gradutation as you can see from the photographs below, which was fun as I hadnt seen alot of my class mates in 6 months, then after we rushed out, had a hour to change and go to KFC for dinner, which was by the way the first and only meal of the day, then got the train into central London for my works press day, I brought my parents with me because I wanted to spend time with them. The Press evening was good, the CEO of our company owns Pur Una for M&S, H&C and Ghost, the press was for H&C but it had all the important people there that he is friends with, Phillip Green who owns BHS, Stuart Rose who runs M&S, Chris Eubank, the head of New Look, and people from a bunch of magazines including Short List. This was very cool because it's all of fashions top people and my product work, food photography and advertising campaigns from 4 different model shoots were on display across 3 floors, in big wall sized vinyls and TV screens, there was also behind the scenes footage of me shooting playing on the TV screens. JS4 is our flag ship store in Picadilly Circus London and its really like a walk in portfolio for me, so I was very happy :)

So after a year and two months of living here, our flat is finally finished, this week the flooring was put down and the walls were finished off, on Thursday the furniture was moved into the sitting room and although the TV doesn't work just yet, I finally have a sitting room and now have a spare bedroom (which was being used as a sitting room before). I really want to get a cat, I think that would make our flat perfect, Phil isn't big into cats but I think it would grow on him if I got one. I have been looking a the rescue persian cat website as I really would like a persian or long haired kitty. I also went to Ikea the other week and bought some new bed-sheets, cant really see them properly in the photo above but I took a pic of them below because there amazing, and I bought a ring yesterday which is not from Ikea but is also awesome. I had an advertising campaign not last but the Wednesday before for my client, the photographs are being launched at a press event at the end of the month and replacing the wall sized vinyls I shot last time. The shoot was in a studio, which was good but not as fun as the locational work.
