This week: Jubilee + Art + Life

09/06/2012

I joined Storify this week, and have been having a little play around with it. I just included some of my own content and some other bits from around the web that relate to this week, including Twitter, Flickr, Instagram etc. Just getting used to it. It might seem a bit random, but was good fun. I will get better!

Jubilee Fever!

Jubilee Fair Cakes for the 'Bake Off'

The last two weeks have all been about preparing for the Jubilee Fair at Orla’s school. Last week we had to decorate her scooter for a parade (a joint effort by me and her Daddy), then yesterday was the school Jubilee Fair itself. Cakes had to be made for the ‘Bake Off’ (frantic baking the night before, though the decorating didn’t quite go to plan), Jubilee Jars decorated (more frantic work that morning), and a Jubilee Scarecrow made (though sadly that was a bridge too far for us) and lastly Jubilee coloured clothes for ‘Mufti’ day for Orla. Now, it has to be said, I am not a Royalist, most definitely not, nor is Luke…but you pretty much have to abandon your political convictions and ethos for your children when it comes to school fairs and the like, so, efforts were made. The day was blazingly hot, everyone worked really hard, all the cakes for the ‘Bake Off’ were fabulous, and we ate more than was good for us. Kudos to all the parents and staff and in particular Orla’s Head Teacher who wore full royal regalia in what was probably the hottest day of this year. It was lots of fun, and the fair was great…

Shot by Both Sides: Magazine

25/05/2012

One of my favourite tracks ever, ‘Shot my Both Sides’ by Howard Devoto and Magazine. Great on stage, wired, frenetic, edgy and every thing a punk band should be. The track and album was released in 1978 the year I left school (and went to college). I saw the band live twice that year I think. Great times.
