Listography : Reincarnation

Kate Takes Five, Listography
Kate is back on the Listography trail again and this time she is asking us what we would like to be reincarnated as (click the image to the left go to her link post).  Yeah, I thought it was a bit weird but it has got me thinking and that's always a dangerous move.  I don't believe in an afterlife so you don't need to worry about me haunting you or being your guardian angel, however... if I did get the chance to grace the Earth again this is possibly where you might find me.



ISS Astronaut

I almost wished myself back as Felix Baumgartner but I've seen what other mad shit he's got up to in the past.  The 'Live Jump' from the edge of space was awesome but leaping off buildings and statues, Point Break style, is just a step too far for me.  However, being an International Space Station Astronaut... can you imagine seeing sights as fucking amazing as this out of your office window every. single. day. of your working life?

Simon le Bon's microphone

There are SO many superlatives whizzing around my head at the moment it is impossible to put anything to paper.  I did consider coming back as Yasmin le Bon but that would have been too greedy so let us just look at a picture of what I could be  *le sigh*

Someone with a Really Good Idea

I'd be happy with being part of a ground-breaking research team and I know there is plenty of time for me to fulfill this myself but I'm a bit busy at the moment.  I'd like to be a nerdy-type person like Larry Page or Sergey Brin (the inventors of Google) or someone who finds a proper cure for all cancers.

A dancer

Just to dance and prance and twirl and create and rehearse and perform and have people watch me.  This sounds daft but sometimes I dream about being famous enough to have been forgotten about so that I can be invited to appear on Strictly Come Dancing.

Hindsight

Yeah... that's what I'll come back as.  Hindsight.  Then I can be even more of a clever and smug bitch than I am now *ahem*

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
