Extra Special Bonus Christmas Post!

Posted by: Sonya on: December 5, 2009

Take a close look at the tree on the left. This is the Christmas tree in a very well-known local shopping centre that shall remain nameless. Remind you of anything?
The second tree is ours. Much more tasteful isn’t it? It is very small, only about a foot high, but I do think it [...]

The End of Summer…

Posted by: Sonya on: November 10, 2009

Just a quicke because this happened ages ago, but I didn’t have the time to post about it then because I was busy revising and I’ve only just now found the photo again. One Saturday, when it was still warm enough to keep your windows open, Charlotte was sitting at her desk working on a [...]

Holland Holiday

Posted by: Sonya on: September 12, 2009

Hey, it’s September now, Autumn , and it’s been more than a month since my fabulous holiday in the Netherlands! A week camping in beautiful Dutch forests with all my favourite friends, daily excursions to the locals towns and cities like Leersum, Tiel, Utrecht and of course an obligatory day in Amsterdam [...]

Blackpool Hols

Posted by: Sonya on: June 22, 2009

I’ve been to Blackpool again, ostensibly for an appointment with my Dentist but of course we made a nice wee holiday of it. If you look close in the first photo you can just about see the Tower. It was taken on Cleveleys beach along with the photo of the sunset. On the Sunday we [...]

Silver Kitty

Posted by: Sonya on: May 10, 2009

Charlotte bought my this silver kitty a couple of days ago. Pretty, isn’t it? Actually I ummed and ahhed about letting her buy it for me because in my mind I didn’t have ‘a use for it’, but it was so pretty… and once I had it home it hit me that it could be [...]

Spring Has Sprung!

Posted by: Sonya on: April 4, 2009

Well, I know the clocks changed last week, and the ‘official’ first day of spring was some time ago, but it’s not really spring until you start to see some new greenery coming out in the trees. Well, today I saw greenery on the trees. I’ve also seen a couple of wasps lately, [...]

Currently Studying

Not a lot! :o) Oh the joys of recess.... I've registered on Philosophy of the Mind for next year, starts the end of January but I will be starting preparatory work real soon.

Last Movie

2012 - Well, it's not as bad as people are saying, just so long as you take it on face value and ignore the... err..., shall I say 'plot'? The first half of the film where everything gets destroyed is actually really cool and definitely worth seeing, the second half, once they get to China, hmm... not so much.

Last Book

The Men Who Stare at Goats - Jon Ronson - I've seen the film, and now I've read the (signed!) book. It's an interesting contrast. The film is quite 'feel-good' and only hints at the Dark Side, but the book, the second half in particular, goes in to quite some detail on how Jim Channon's ideals have become warped and corrupted in to the disturbing forms of psychological torture that the military has been using in recent years. Very good and informative read.
