2012

2012 eh? The Mayans thought the World would end - fucking idiots. Not the Mayans, but the people who misinterpreted their calendar. It was a mixed bag - some good, some bad, but mostly good. I started with the misconception that I could code - what a lol. It was a mixture of getting a new, powerful PC and a…

Taking stock

After the madness of my cousins wedding and the holiday with the boys, I feel I need to streamline my existence, have a good sort out and tidy everything up. I started today (whilst catching up on Peep Show - the tail end of series 6 and start of series 7), just general organisational things really, and I have next…

Holiday 2012: Day 5

By Iain 10 August 2012Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Day five was to be our last day on the Isle of Wight, but our ferry wasn't until 4:30, so we had time to have one last cool day. Packing everything into the car was speedy and efficient, Jane is very good like that. Our first stop of the day was at Robin Hill. It had some nice woodland, cool…

Holiday 2012: Day 4

By Iain 9 August 2012ReflectionsNo Comments

Day four brought with it a visit to Blackgang Chine: A name that has resonated throughout my life. My Mum and Dad took David and me there years and years ago, not that I remember the place at all, just the name. Although I doubt it was as impressive back then as it is now, there are some aspects that…

Holiday 2012: Day 3

By Iain 8 August 2012Creativity, ReflectionsNo Comments

Day three brought a real inspiration (as opposed to the semi-inspirational woodland of day two) - Butterfly World. I made sure I got some amazing shots. Surely the one with the green pattern looks too much like a tasty caterpillar? It'd be eaten in no time. Can't wait to use their patterns in some kind of creative endeavour. I also…

Holiday 2012: Day 2

On the second day, we went to Arriton Barn Craft Village. I bought a Coconut Ice, because they always seem to taste better on holiday. There were some cool Pirate statues, some fish and ducks in the pond, and an interesting shop that sold glass ornaments. We then went on to Amazon World, and we all touched a snake. After…

Holiday 2012: Day 1

By Iain 6 August 2012ReflectionsNo Comments

Jane, Claire, Lewis, Ethan and I popped over to the Isle of Wight today, a little place called Whitecliff Bay. The ferry ride was peaceful enough, we went up to the top deck and soaked in the beautiful sea air. I do so miss the sea air. When we got to the Isle of Wight, Claire thought she'd avoid traffic…

So we're going to the Isle of Wight next week. Jane, Claire, Lewis, Ethan and I. Matt isn't going as he "couldn't get the time off work", even though he's the manager of the shop and he creates the rotas. I'm looking forward to getting away from everything more than the actual destination to be honest. I will be taking…
