{ air festival and paper legends and photos and stuff }

1) air festival: It's the Bournemouth Air Festival this weekend (18th-21st) and those of you who've been around a while will know how stupidly excited I get about this and how much I look forward to it! I'm off work from this Thursday until next Tuesday and I'm just really hoping the weather stays fine after the washout it was last year. And I'm hoping I don't get stung again too.

2) timetable of doom: Yes, it was only about 5 minutes ago that I finished working on the summer timetable, but the September timetable is due in about 3 weeks and I've not even started it yet. I've not very much time to do it either, so as of next week I'm going to have to start putting in much longer hours than usual just to get it done. I honestly have no enthusiasm for it at all this time round, but I'm hoping that's just because I'm kind of wiped out right now what with everything that's been going on, and that the few days off I'm about to have for the air show will re-inspire me. Or something.

3) paper legends: Posting of all the wonderful stories and amazing artwork over at paperlegends is about halfway through so please go check it out if you haven't already, and remember to leave some feedback for all those people who've worked incredibly hard for the last 6 months on their entries. Thank you =)

4) photos: Just a few random photos to share:

Boscombe beach (aka my beach) a week or so ago. I love the colour of the water in this one:



An old tree root out at Bolderwood where I took a group walking last week:







Joshua (nephew) sat on a lion down at Boscombe Pier last weekend. There's this thing called Pride in Bournemouth going on for a few weeks, which basically means there's these lions all over the place round here, all of them differently decorated and all of them kind of cool:




Hope you're all doing okay ♥

1) I've never been to an air show because for the past few years, I've had to work the weekend of the Houston Air Show. Ever since missing the Blue Angels when they performed at my university, I've been dying to see them. They usually come to the Houston Air Show (which is around Halloween), so it always makes work that weekend doubly depressing. This year, I finally have that weekend off - and guess who won't be there? That's right, the Blue Angels. I was crushed when I found out, but I'll probably still go.

2) Schedules are made of evil. I wish you good luck and speediness.

3) I need to pop by and see what goodies have been posted! I am behind on everything Merlin.

4) Your beach is so pretty! The only beach near me is Galveston, where the water is a nasty shade of brown and the sand is a billion degrees and covered in seaweed. Not pleasant.

I love things like that lion! We had the Cow Parade here in Houston a number of years ago, and there are currently a bunch of decorated horses closer to my side of town.

Oddly, when I was in Bath last October, they had decorated lions on display, too. They were for their sister city in China. I took pictures of all the ones we came across, but I'm sure it was only a small fraction. This one was my favorite of the group.
