A bit of the Depp

Oh I do so love a certain Mr Depp and a certain Mr Burton has one of the most amazing imaginations that is slightly scarey but oh so fascinating.

The lastest Burton offering of Alice in Wonderland does not disappoint.




Tonight big one and myself went off to watch AIW in 3D and wow did we enjoy it.



There is something for all the family in the film and the effects are just breathtaking. I forsee us all suddenly finding ourselves making a whole lot of AIW themed things for around the house. My mind is certainly buzzing.



Now is the wait for the DVD, obviously Disney knew what a hit this film was going to be as the DVD is due to hit the shops in about 12 weeks.



I'm not sure big one and I can wait that long.


See even with bright ginger hair, blue and green eyeshadow and the craziest eyes he's still just gorgeous!

And I would just be so at home at this tea time table, go as crazy as you like, no one will notice! :)

And the results are in

I've been suffering with episodes of intense pain for the last three years, yes I know I should have done something about it all a lot sooner than now, and I finally admitted I needed to do something about it. So after visiting the Dr, having blood tests and an ultrasound scan the results have come back with the diagnosis that I have one large gallstone.



Looking back to when this all started with all the information there is out there about gallstones I think my losing 7 stone in one year may not have helped and now I fall into the fat and forty category :D

Anyway I'm now being referred to the surgeon and my Dr says the options are usually either them going in and just pulling out the stone or taking the whole gallbladder out. Can't say I'm thrilled about the thought of surgery but when you've been in so much pain you'd rather give birth drug free than face another night writhing in agony and banging your head off the wall then it's kind of a relief to know that something is going to be done to take away the pain.

Oh and I forgot to say Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant Hapus i bawb. (Happy St David's Day to all) Tomorrow will mark 8 years since me and the smalls left Wales to live here in bonny Scotland.

Do you know

it's pretty impossible not to take great photos in New York.

The view from the top of the Rockefeller Centre


Can you imagine living here? This is Brooklyn and I want to explore there a whole lto more than the quick bus tour we did.




Cheesecake for one?


Yellow taxi cabs. See even a quick shot of the street makes you feel like you're taking iconic shots.



The M+M store. So many colours, flavours and types that we certainly don't get to see over here.

I was lucky enough to get a week in New York in 2008, I think I could live there for years and still not get to see and do all the things I'd like to. It is certainly a place that I will get back to one day.
