Not sexy enough for the aliens :-(

Well I'm still here... which means the aliens didn't find me sexy enough to abduct and take home to their planet. I've needed all this time (since my last blog) to come to terms with the rejection before posting again.

I have LOADS to blog about so there is simply no excuse to miss any days from now on, especially since I am home from University as well! Yes, I've decided to finish the rest of my MA from home as there was too many distractions (in the form of episodes of Charmed) in Lampeter and I wasn't getting enough work done. All is not lost though... Lampeter, I will see your beauty again when I move back in a year or so. It would break my heart to leave you forever. You have tugged at the strings of my heart for four years and I expect you will continue to do so for the rest of my life, regardless of where I choose to settle. (By the way, Lampeter is a place not a person, ok?)

Hasn't the flooding has been horrific lately? We were caught in some during my last week in Lampeter, but fortunately it's not as bad there as it is in some parts of England. May God be with the families of the couple of people who have lost their lives due to the rainfall. Hard to believe it's Britain isn't it? It's like the monsoon season.

Last Tuesday I went to London with the parental unit. Fun was had all round and hundreds of pictures taken. It stuck me as funny when I realised that I was taking pictures of buildings and monuments which were very similar to what we have here in Cardiff. I would never think to take pictures of the Cardiff ones because I pass them loads, but in London they seemed picture-worthy ha ha. Anyway, I would love to blog for longer but I need to get up early tomorrow so I'm logging off now. I'll post pictures and blog about the London trip tomorrow. (By the way, I saw Darth Vader and got a good pic ha ha).

Thank you so much to my faithful readers who keep checking my blog even though I haven't posted for a little while. I promise to be good and bring you lots of blogging niceness from now on.

It has been nice knowing you all...




ATTENTION
ALIENS ARE COMING TO ABDUCT ALL THE GOOD LOOKING AND SEXY PEOPLE.


YOU WILL BE SAFE, I'M JUST BLOGGING THIS TO SAY GOODBYE.

Sensational Sushi!

A while ago I posted that I had tried sushi for the very first time. Well since then, Nic and I have become quite the sushi experts *cough* and decided that it was time to unleash our sushi skills and actually make it from scratch ourselves. Contrary to popular belief, it turned out really well and although there were a few little things we realised we could have done better... it was absolutely delicious, and a great first attempt. Plus, we had heaps of fun in the process!

The seaweed!


Sushi rice and filling placed on the seaweed.

...which is then cut into pieces.

A few different fillings/toppings.

The finishing touches... Et voila!!!
