Mind The Gap

Christmas countdown: 17 days!

Do you like the snowflakes? I added them after my last post :)
I wanted something wintry as my posts aren't going to be festive until closer to Christmas, and I thought they were just too cute.

I'm starting to get into the Christmas spirit now :D

I went to Ikea yesterday and bought three packs of tealights (30 pack), and more fairy lights!

I've got a crazy obsession with candles, and it's escalated...

But hey, it's the build-up to Christmas, everyone's going a bit crazy now!

Hiya!

I learnt a dance to 'Me Ol' Bamboo' from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang yesterday for an audition (which I don't think went that well, but it was very fun anyway). I had the song in my head today though and I've no doubt annoyed everyone I've been in the same room with.

Well, carrying on!

Here's today's photo for you to ponder at:

It's a fairly recent one, but I'm very impressed with this - for a photo taken on my phone...

I used a filter, you can probably tell, though I tend to stay away from them. This one makes everything warmer and increases the contrast between light and dark, so even though it was cloudy and it had just rained, it appears as if the sun is shining and everything is golden.

The light in this is gorgeous, I just love the glowing platform and tracks.

I love you

Classics Lecture & Train Station Photos

Hiya!

I went to a classics lecture today, about prostitutes and players!

Fun fun ;)

It was actually quite interesting, and funny. Tom Holland was the speaker, who was engaging and clearly loved his topic.

But anyway, here are some photos of the train station I waited at for one and a half hours...

Cool shadows!

❤️

I love you

ANYTHING GOES!

Hi, my dearests!

I watched Anything Goes yesterday! It was so good! I loved You're the Top and Anything Goes especially.

And the tap dancing...phew! I'm so glad I watched it since I'm learning the dance in my lessons, although it was a bit disappointing to see that the dance had been tweaked a little and wasn't exactly the same as the one I'm learning...

Oh well, overall a very very good musical :)

But here's a little naughty something:

I had brought my camera with me, and at the train station, my friend and I went all the way down the station to the very end where the station dips down into gravel. We went to take photos, and we must have gotten too close to the edge...because next thing we know, there's an announcement on the loudspeakers saying:

"CAN THE TWO YOUNG LADIES AT THE END OF THE PLATFORM MOVE AWAY FROM THE EDGE, PLEASE!"

Oh, the mortification! Everyone turned and peered down the platform to stare at us, and at that time our train was due to come so we had to walk back up to our parents anyway. It was so embarrassing. But, I held my head up anyways and stared straight ahead, not meeting anybody's eye.

It was only when I had reached my mum when she told me that I had just barged past another friend of mine, who had been trying to catch my eye the whole time I was making my way up the platform. Why am I the most awkward human being in the whole world? And I'm seeing her tomorrow so...

Ugh, why?!

Anyways, I've got a few random photos I've taken these past two days and I like them, so um...I'll just put them here...

Just a little random photo of my candle and empty-Nutella-jar-with-gold-heart which I painted...

Terrible photo, I know, but it was all I could do before being startled by the announcement :(

Didn't your momma ever tell you it's rude to stare?

I like reflections in puddles...

♥

I love y'all, and goodbye!
