Boob life buoys & Dark embraces
Wednesday, Oct 28, 2009 12:16AM / Standard Entry
It's been a bit since I've blogged I just really wanted to say thanks to the warm welcome on my return, I do promise at some point I will go into more detail about my whereabouts somehow and somwehere but well yeah just, thanks :)
about the title I thought the old blow up bra had died many years ago but it's back with apparently quite a vengeance! I remember as a teen the one I saw was a brown model with two buttons to the side, used to wonder if it would stop someone from drowning, and at what point it would explode due to the material it used...I was young and misinformed. Did anyone as a kid do the chicken fillet thing? I remember padding a bra out using tissues...not a good look ... a little lobsided thanks to unmatching propotions of tissues.
instant Va Va Voom!.....I don't think the wonderbra has anything to worry about.
If you've yet to see the movie 'Is anybody there' I highly recommend it. Michael Caine plays an elderly man refusing to age and suffering from Dementia who is none to pleased about going into a nursing home, there he meets a young boy desperate to know about life after death. It is both heartwarming, sad, hilarious and genuinely beautifully acted.Well written british gem.
Most inaccurate quote of the week goes to : BNP leader Nick Griffin who states the Ku Klux Klan is a "mostly non-violent organisation". It really is scary how this racist thug is managing to win seats across England as we run up to the general elections.
Nicest place I visited this year : CHATSWORTH HOUSE , one of England's best stately homes, it's simply breathtaking and the library is unbelieveable. Parts of 'The Duchess' was filmed here, infact the truth of the lady herself is far more shocking than the film reveals, or so I've heard, I've yet to see it.
Apparently Jack the Ripper was according to new evidence the mortician's assistant....I'm unconvinced I prefer the Freemason theory, but then I've never exactly gotten on with those circles so I may be biased.
I love this....erotically beautiful....Dont' judge me, I am a Christian, I just find this piece called the 'Dark Embrace' very pleasing to the eye, perhaps it's the colour scheme and the wings shielding the girl from harm...maybe

Soul Food ~Eye candy and alcoholic desserts
Wednesday, Mar 18, 2009 9:12PM / Standard Entry
I finally got to see and loved The Good The Bad and The Weird what an excellent twist on it's inspired Sergio Leone classic.There will always be comparisons but I think each film should be judged completely seperately, some that I watched it with found it overly violent and most thought that the 'Bad' was just too evil, they wanted to like him like they did with Van Cleef's character see a sense of justice in him I guess,personally I did not see that 'the bad' was too evil at all..........
I can't possibly see what would cloud my judgement
sigh* sometimes I think the no dating clause I made was really stupid
I did a little cooking in the spare time I've had this week and cooked Gordon Ramsey's Baguette and Butter Pudding laced with Bailey's
I'm not actually a bailey's girl but I like it in cooking, you can follow my directions in the red brackets!
50g butter, softened
½ large French stick (about 150g, thinly sliced)
60g sultanas or dried cranberries, or a mixture of both
2 large free-range egg yolks
2 large free-range eggs
40g caster sugar
300ml double cream
300ml milk
4 tbsp Baileys cream liqueur, or more to taste (Try 16)
demerara sugar, to sprinkle.
3 tbsp apricot jam
SERVES 6
PREPARATION:
1. Use a large knob of the butter to grease the sides of a 1.5 litre shallow ovenproof dish. Spread the bread slices with the remaining butter. Arrange the bread in the dish in overlapping layers, sprinkling the dried fruit between. 2. Beat the egg yolks, whole eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until creamy, then beat in the cream, milk and Baileys. Slowly pour this mixture over the bread.
3. Press the bread slices down gently with your fingers so they are completely submerged.
4. Leave to stand for about 20 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4.
5. Stand the dish in a roasting tin and surround with boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the dish. (A bain-marie is used to avoid overheating the custard, which otherwise might curdle.) Sprinkle with demerara sugar and bake for 40–50 minutes until golden. Shortly before this time is up, warm the apricot jam until runny.
6. Dab this glaze over the surface of the pudding and leave to stand for 15 minutes before serving. The custard will continue to cook and firm up during this time. Trickle a little more Bailey(I like to think a little means a lot
) over each portion to serve if you like. 
A little caught around the edges and some dodgy looking sultanas but you know if you've followed my added directions at the bailey's stages none of your guests will give a rat's arse how it tastes they'll be far too happy

Blog: Sunday, Mar 8

My guitar is a rather old piece that is actually co-owned by me and my brother, I rarely get to see it these days as he now has it but it sure brings back memories. She no longer purrs like a kitten, more like throws a hairball at me everytime I touch her and I don't even think I could play 'Over The Rainbow' fully anymore but seeing her again does make me think of how inanimate things can become a big part of our life like some people love their banged up skoda or worn thin Nike trainers and can't bare to part with them. Sometimes I think an instrument is like a diary it knows exactly how you feel that day by the songs you play and it just grows with you.

Return to Ironbridge.
Saturday, Mar 7, 2009 9:39PM / Standard Entry
Went back to Ironbridge, that quaint little village I love actually looked at some property for rent but I'm still in two minds about moving so far away as my two best friends are in my eyes my siblings and Ironbridge is a long way from Southport.
View from one of the pubs
My dream home I think it's either an old church or school , can't remember but it's a lovely old building, needs a bit of work but doesn't everything worthwhile.
The Bridge
I like how the 'working' church is seen here
Ironbridge centre as seen from the bridge...a little crooked due to my photo skills
Oh the little cafe in the back was lovely good homemade stuff the kind that puts the B in belly
I swear my phone didn't cock up this much, the town is crooked that's all I can think
Given a choice where would you live?
A village, town,or city? I always think a town as it's a cross between the city and the country but sometimes the quiet little village setting really appeals.
