No Tears For The Weepies

My latest musical obsession comes in the form of The Weepies - a US duo that play super sweet, beautiful music. I discovered them through Last.FM, and bought the Hideaway album, which has some remarkably good songs on it. You can listen to the entire album in full on Last.FM - have a go and let me know what you think...

Baby Lemur - Possibly The Cutest...

This is possibly the cutest image I have ever seen! Tahina is a baby lemur recently born at a zoo in France. The teddy bear is acting a surrogate mother - giving her something to cling to. The photo was on the Sky News web site over the weekend - have a look for more on the story and even more photos.

Show Some Love

I've been having a hunt around for a valentines day card - and I came across this on Etsy! Nothing says I love you more than a heart in a ribcage...

Sleepy Tea

So, without wanting to sound like a hippy - I quite like flavoured tea. One of our friends bought us some sleepy tea (above), which I have been avoiding drinking because I wasn't sure how lavender in tea would work. Lemon, yes. Lavender, no. I'm a bit of an insomniac, and built up the courage to give it a go. It actually tastes nice, and I've been sleeping like a badger in a sett. The tea is made by a company called Today Was Fun, and it contains lemon balm, lime flowers and lavender. If you are struggling to get some Z's in, it might be worth an experiment...

Everyone's Gone Snow Crazy!

We don't often get a lot of snow in the UK, but when we do things go a bit loco. Some people don't go to work. The other people drive too fast and crash, so there are hundreds of minor accidents - this is why I don't drive in the snow! Anyway, I'm meant to be working, but I can't concentrate because of the amazing white glow outside. I took this picture while walking this morning - some kids had built a massive snowman in the middle of the road. Good work! I was also involved in a drive-by snow balling. Someone threw a snowball at me from a moving car - it made me laugh, so thanks for that!

Cookie Monster Double Dessert

This really is a genius idea. Firstly, it looks amazing in all its Cookie Monster glory and secondly it combines a cake and a biscuit for the ultimate pudding! It comes from a random Flickr entry - now get baking! It also mentions Cake Wrecks blog - for when your baking goes wrong...

Quality Meat!

So my brother has been going through all our old photos and scanning them in, and along came this chestnut! I've no idea who the men are - but I know we used to live next to this butcher's (Brian Flint - Quality Meat). Such an amazing photo (with a real 80's feel) - I can't wait to get it framed!
