Pies ! !

I made some!..

These one's to be exact:

and...they're edible ! !

Nunna would be proud.
Might bag one up and send it home for her 80th in May.

alright, alright, I'll blog you an update! ....

Unlucky for the blog I've done alota living over the past 2 weeks and not so much decent photo taking so this post shall quite potentially, be boring as batshit..! You've been warned.

I made friends, true story!
Like, real ones. My circle here is no longer just people associated with my sister who give the obligatory 'Hello, how are you? Where you travellin' to?' etc.. (as lovely an welcoming as they always are) ...But I has made actual Mel mates. High five!

New Irish mate Wez lives in a house with 5 guys out west London, he had 2 German chicks from Switzerland visit for the long weekend.

Take a sensational bunch of people, copious amounts of cider, vodka, stew, fry ups, krispy kreme, adventuring and tunes, and you have my 4 day long St Pats day celebration.

The girls were paprazzi so I have very little photographic evidence of any interest as yet..
Big gaps in my photo storytelling, just a few pre 'n' post drinkin' happy snaps...

om nom nom..
Irish stew :)

You say breakfast, I say belly lining.
I ate Baked beans.. and I liked them.
what of it ?

This ticket represents the most of my Pat's day experience.
After going to the pub with the boys and watching
Ireland get smashed by England in the rugby,
we all went to a gig, full irish music, awesome!

Last day of Karina and Marthas visit ! :(
They wanted to do touristy crap, Sun was out.. figured it wouldn't hurt me to see a
bit of the city too!

oh look, it's all palacey n stuff......

Last supper, pub Fish 'n' Chips. Om nom nom.
Karina liked the mushy peas. Fucken weirdo.
I stuck with what I know.. fried goodness and cider.

changes a-foot ...

"The time has come," the Walrus said,

"To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings."

cars, sunshine, curry and aussie..

Got an email last week...
Fellow Aussie Vauxhaller and Viva owner Andrew was coming from Sweden to be in London town for a Vauxhall only swapmeet over the weekend.
Wanna join?
Err.... an aussie mate and a car fix??!..
I took about 1.6 secs to scrap my non existent schedule say yaaa huh, hell yes please.

It was 'bout 3 hours north west of the city, so thrifty van in hand, off we trot across the country side.

We were lucky, it was perfect sunshinin' 17 deg weather :D

We saw an un-photo-worthy shed full o' parts, Andrew was stoked with some of the crap he picked up.
I was more tickled pink by the sights outside...

A young English guy owns this beauty, him and his
boyfriend had a woven picnic basket on the back seat :)
Suited them to a teeeee!

This baby is a HB viva.. they don't do it for me..
But still, mint condition, shiny, laa deee da. .! !

a toughy not-so-shiny mat black beast in the mix..
Noice.

The following day we had to swing past a shipping company to drop off some Viva panels and seat covers that Andrew bought for his cars in Aus.

Customs says, NO dirt. So scrubbed we did....

2 hours later. Done and done.

way too godamn happy to be on his
hands 'n' knees scrubbing vynil..

Got me a stylin vest..
First and last time I scrub
car parts in England!

Post packing efforts, to the train we strolled toward beer and a feed...
Pretty station this one. Me likey.

Our 2 day adventure concluded with a delightfully tasty
Indian feed on Brick Lane with a bunch of Andrews mates.
Then to the pub with Dave.

Shit photo.

Splendid cider.

Stupendous couple of days.
