Scattered Strawberry Summer

 I have wandered about this since I learned about the dark ages.





I have always found it ridiculous than people say it's who saved them and forget about the doctors and nurses

 lovely vintage pendant, also 50p

• The Squid and the Whale ( I know nothing about it but amazon keeps offering to me based on my purchase history, so why not, it was only a quid)
• Michael McIntyre "Hello Wembley" (I've seen but it is incredibly funny so I want to have it)
• Everything is illuminated
• Breakfast at Tifanny's ( I know, I haven't seen it before, well not until today)

• the Science of Sleep
• Garden State

I'm upset. Why? I bought a new "toy" for myself and it hasn't arrived  today as promised.  Let me explain. I have Amazon Prime trial, which gives you free next day delivery, which worked perfectly when I bought my laptop, excellent service from DPD, even received an estimated hour of delivery. I bought yesterday a lens lumix 45-200mm from Amazon even though there was a cheaper one on ebay but delivery from 7 business days, so I thought I'll get one from Amazon and I'll enjoy my toy the next day.It was sent with HDNL. It was out for delivery, I was super excited and now it's back in the depot. Now I have to wait till Monday, I will be complaining to Amazon as  their guaranteed delivery is what convinced me to buy the lens from  them.

I also bought a phone. I could have bought something like Samsung Galaxy S3 (my god that screen is bright) but I find it ridiculous  that it costs the same as my laptop, so I decided to go for a mid range smartphone and  for left over money to get a lens that I have wanted for a long time. You see, I used to have a bridge camera with a 18x optical zoom and I feel limited with my 14-42mm lens.I would also like to get a prime lens, but I'm not very keen on Lumix 20mm F1.7,  as it's not that good for portraits. I might get olympus m.zuiko 45mm F1.8,but not yet, from next salary I'm getting a trip to Barcelona.

About the phone, it took me ages to decide which phone to buy. I had decided to buy HTC desire C when I saw reviews  that it's  quite slow, so I got Nokia Lumia 710, still not sure about it because it's windows phone. Will I like the tiles? I played with it the shop and I thought yeah I can get used to this. It's coming on Monday because Royal Mail doesn't do next day delivery on Saturdays, well not unless you pay extra £3.

We're also looking for a new flat, it's not easy, demand is high here and supply is very limited but I do hope to get out of this flat before another cold winter, fingers crossed.

Did you watch the Olympics opening ceremony? Did you also miss Benedict Cumberbatch's opening video? I didn't know he was going to be there and I was actually watching Scandal in Belgravia with a friend who hasn't seen it.

I'm going to boot fair tomorrow. so yay. I hope to find some good bargains

 just to make it clear: I am the one in the middle

Happy Birthday Benedict, you amazing human being.

fans at their best

 I've contributed to this as well, obviously. Last time I've checked it was £8 400, it's not too late to donate

His thank you message:  “The amount of effort, love, joy and celebration as well as money raised! I’m speechless. Pls pass on my love and gratitude. Thank you!! Bx”

The other day  at work I got excited  when I took a call from Michael McIntosh because for a millisecond I thought he's going to say Michael McIntyre. 

I have also had calls from Mr Moriarty, John Watson and I could hardly resist making Sherlock related joke. 


In other news,I bought a new laptop (Lenovo g570; Intel Core i5 2450M 2.5GHz, 6GB RAM, 750GB HDD). I signed for Amazon Prime trial, so I got free next day delivery- amazing as I bought computer 7pm and got it next day around 11am. Thanks Amazon. I will do review for amazon later after I've used it for a considerable amount of time, so far very happy.

Now what do I put as my wallpaper? Among those sample pictures I found  a picture of Seven Sisters, so it's going be my wallpaper for now.


and here's a random gif of the day:

Fresh Strawberry cake, wow it was amazing and  ..huge! I could hardly finish it.
  Marta got oreo cupcake. We had vouchers so we got coffee for free. I think we will become regular visitors to this cakery.
