I love Sambuca, and I love Jelly Beans. Naturally, Jelly-bean Sambuca should be excellent. The ingredients for this concoction were part of my birthday present from Charlotte’s parents. Now there’s just the 5 days of painstaking waiting and the evening of getting totally trolleyed. Excellent!

The eagle-eyed amongst you will have spotted the SoCo bottle. This is because the stupid Sambuca bottle has a thing on it that doesn’t let you put jelly beans in. Luckily, we had an empty SoCo bottle to come to the rescue! Ahem!

The day after my birthday, it’s one of my best mates’ birthday. He always does good parties so I go to them and pretend like it’s a party for me, too. It’s worked quite well for a fair few years (for me, at least!). He’d just bought a load of new lenses he was dying to show me, so I was wandering round with a Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 on my camera all day and I love it! This is a select few of us in the back of Nick’s dad’s van. We won’t go into the whys and wherefores, that’s just where we were! Awesome lens, I’m probably going to post the rest of my pictures as I really love some of the ones that came out of that lens.

Damn shopping list isn’t getting any shorter! Happy birthday, Nick!

Went down to the courts to play some ball today and there was a huge cruise liner there, but obviously I didn’t have my camera on me. By the time I got back to take a photo, it’d gone. This made me sad.

I realised today that it’s like 6 days til my birthday. When I was 10, I’d never have imagined being this blasé about my birthday! I’ve already had my presents, though; 160GB iPod, shorts, a tshirt and House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. I’ve been wanting to read that book for absolutely ages!
