Scattered Strawberry Summer

 Do I blog about Sherlock/Benedict too much? well... Nice drawing, btw, whoever did this card.  For the first time this "winter", I saw something that vaguely resembles snow. Yes, the cold has come, thankfully, our heating system was replaced yesterday, so it is pleasantly warm here.well,  at least until you step out of our living room.  ...

After having watched nothing but Sherlock for the past few weeks, we tried to watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S, 5 minutes later we changed it to unaired Sherlock pilot... :)) Watched Third Star because of Benedict. Maybe I shouldn't have, it's too sad and I'm not really in the mood for sad films, I still haven't recovered from Reichenbach fall episode.  I also finished Van Gogh:...

 It's not going to be very techy, I'm very much an amateur. It's called CCTV lens (not that kind of CCTV, though ;) ). Aperture 1.4, 25mm. I wanted 25mm because it's equivalent to 50mm in 35mm film cameras. The price is very attractive, ~£23 with adaptor (ebay).  As I am a  graduate with part-time manual job, I can't really afford to buy pancake...

As I wrote previously, I want to reread Sherlock stories. But I was disappointed with a variety of books available at my local library (again), so I went to the used book store, which had loads. I chose these two and I might buy some more later. For used books they are actually a bit expensive.  I actually found one with an introduction from Stephen...

What an episode last night. I knew it was going to be very heavy and emotional episode. But I still felt like this  I really enjoyed even though it was very sad. His "note" was so emotional. I find it hard to watch it.   I can't believe  we will have to wait for another series for a year. I watched Scandal in...

Finally watched the first two episodes of Sherlock 2nd series. Saying I enjoyed it would be understatement. It was absolutely brilliant, especially the first episode, Scandal in Belgravia. I am now totally Sherlocked. It's complicated, it's funny, it's brilliant. The soundtrack, cinematography, the casting, oh just about everything is brilliant.                          ...

Received another £10 voucher from valuedopinions.co.uk and used it to buy these. I was recommended Jojoba oil by Js, after reading  reviews a thought I'll give it a try. Apparently, it resembles skin's natural oils, so you can fool your skin and stop it making to much sebum and in turn, reduce your acne.It is not even oil, really, it's wax. It has...
