Always daddys little girl





This post is long over due. Do you guys remember the last Photo Up?? Click here if you do not. http://steffiesays.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/photo-up_16.html , well it the rest of the photos from when my daddy was in town!  






















Where I had my rather healthy pub lunch!
I hardly ever see my dad, but when I do see him I always have the bestest time I feel like a princess for the day, which is how every girl should feel when they see their father. Every time I see him I always say I should see him more often and I never do but I have arranged to go up to Cambridge to see him, like the good daughter I can be sometimes. All the photos are from when he was down in London/ Hertfordshire last.

The Ones That Come & Go

Hi there,

Sorry I haven't been around for a while.

Let me catch you up.

Work has been like a circus of chaos, with someone or other pulling a sickie or forgetting to turn up! I mean who the hell does that!!! :| 

Friends are all okay, as far as I know, been seeing most of them throughout the weeks of summer. Apart from one various friend who seems to be avoiding me like the plague. Oh well.

Family. What can I tell you about them, well my brother left the country, my cousin accepted an offer to one of the top universities in the country and another cousin is turning 40!! So that's exciting I suppose.

In other news I have not been posting anything because A) I have no spare time, B) I have been incredibly boring you do not need to hear my moaning & C) well there is no C but people always seem to have 3 reasons, so there. 

My next post will definitely be posted by next month and hopefully I will be back and up to speed with the blogging world by then.

Miss you

Video Killed The Radio Stars

And I mean this with no reference to the song! ... well there is a little reference to it. Anyhow back to my point! Radio stations have some seriously good thing happening on them. One of my favourites is Innuendo Bingo with BBC Radio One DJ Scott Mills. It's on every Tuesday and Thursday at 1.45pm London time. You can also watch online for the visual experience. I am very eager to discover more radio DJ's I have a strong feeling most of my spare time will be going online looking for different radio shows and hosts!! I will probably be investing in a World Wide Radio = WWR! Super YAY!!!

Here's me being sorry.

Here's a link to the radio DJ fretured in this post, let me know if it's just me that thinks this is the best show on radio. I would also love to hear what stations you listen to. get back to me people.


This is slowly becoming my new obsession and probably the reason I am being super lazy with this blog, which by the way I am really very sorry for. 

Oh and there will be a PHOTO UP! tomorrow be sure to check it out!

Abbey Road Cam

Sorry for lack of posts recently. I will try to do better.

Here is the link;

Will post more soon.

Love you.

Birthday Daze

So two of my bestie have birthdays straight after one another, in this case it was Tuesday and Wednesday days of which don't exactly scream PARTY! Anyhow my bestie managed to plan not only her party dinner but also my friends pub night. Me being me I turned up a nice half an hour late for my friends dinner, which meant everyone was seated and no one had ordered. Not good when it is eight o'clock and there are ten hungry people all waiting on you to pick a meal! Anyway in the end it all went fine, and it was only when we left did I realise that the whole restaurant was decorated with balloons and sunflowers to match the her birthday cake. It was so cute. This is why little local places need to be supported they always go above and beyond! Will definitely go back there.

The next night was my other friends birthday and her idea of fun is getting so drunk you don't know where you are. Well I will let you know now that we did not reach this level of drunkenness. I did however manged to make myself look like a complete idiot, by failing to notice a friend of mine and completely walked passed him. Not cool. Oh well, we will both live on. Wednesday pub nights are now a no good, no good people go out on Wednesday they all wait for Friday and if they do go out it isn't to some scummy pub! As much as I love a cheap drink we did end up in the ONLY club in the area and we all instantly regretted it! All in all I much preferred the Tuesday dinner than the pub/club event on the Wednesday.


Oh and it's my brothers birthday today! Snaps for him...

Life Time - 30 in 10 part 2

30 things that need to be done by the time your 30 - (shorter way of putting it "30 in 10")





2 of 30 is live abroad because as great as London is. I don't think I will ever appreciate it unless I live away for at least a year. An as I have no desire to live anywhere else in the UK I have some other ideas floating in my head, and of course there are the oblivious. NYC, San Fran, LA, Les Vegas, Miami all great places in the USA. Rome, Italy. Barcelona, Spain. Paris, Texas- jk, France (although I feel that Paris is just too close and I would use the euro tunnel all the time!!)  

There is also Portland, Maine, USA. Hawaii, USA. Sydney, Australia. Bali, Indonesia. Toronto, Canada. Dublin, Ireland. Munich, Germany. Osaka, Japan.
Although I am edging to somewhere that is English speaking.

There are so many great places to see in the world, sometimes I really wish I was musical I could tour around the world for a living. That would the best thing ever, however I sadly have no musical talents.

I pray to God that this will happen.

Showtime

I'm really sorry, I know that this is late and over due.

13:16 - 13:20
Okay I'm not even there yet and I text my friend to confirm which carriage she needs to get on. Her response don't get on the train! Hopefully no more hiccups. Looks like we're gonna be half an hour late.


14:31 - 14:36
Okay at finally here. And it's really rather boring. Starting to wish I had come at a much later time. Like ten minutes before the show would have been good.


19:05 - 21:14
Showtime, it is deferentially something to do with the atmosphere, because I saw the show 3 times today and when those dancers had an audience they gave it there all. It was actually rather brilliant. All the dancers involved should be really proud whether they be the performers or the choreographers . It was all amazing the only downside was there was no bar/cafe open.


Links to the photography and film will be on a following post.


Hope everyone else has had a lovely day/ evening. Sweet dreams where ever you are. Love.

Anyway good night all, have the sweetest dreams.

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee

Some people love it. Others tolerate it. Me I have mixed feelings. Britain does have a slight tendency to go over the top just a bit. As a country we are all a little but overly emotion. When we celebrate we celebrate! And when you mourn we act like its the worst thing that had ever happened. The events the weekend however was not just about celebration for the royal family. Please take time before you go to your dreams and send well wishes and prays to the Duke of Edinburgh, the royal family and any one else who has a loved one in hospital. Anyway back to happier news I am going to Bond Street next week to be one of the first people to see my cousins wedding dress. I can not wait. The wedding however is not until summer next year due to the Olympics being here in the UK. Anyway on Thursday I am going to rehearsals in Bethnal Green for a show that is taking place on Friday. Presented by One Youth Dance the show is called Perceptions. A link will be below to the Facebook event, all the details can be found there.













And Kylie was rocking that pearly queen outfit - with the jacket, she should not have taken it off! Also the amazingly sung version of  West Side Story's Somewhere a Place for us, The Queens Diamond Jubilee - beautiful just beautiful - the link will be below, deserves a listen.
One Youth Dance's Perceptions
Somewhere - Renee Fleming & Alfie Boe


Hope you all had a wonderful weekend/ begin of the week doing whatever you were doing.
