Music Meme and Pictures.

I am determined to finish this bloody meme, even if it IS several days out of date now.

Day 21 - A Song You Listen To When Happy

Er, I don't have many happy songs. Nature of the beast, I'm afraid. So, um... *thinks*

Noisettes - "Beat of my Heart" - from Wild Young Hearts

As Noisettes are a recent discover for me, I thought it was about time I included one of their songs. Their album is mostly upbeat like this and I thought I'd gor for a song which (AFAIK) hasn't appeared on a bloody advert for something. :P

I found them when I heard "Never Forget You" on the radio on the way back from Prestatyn in 2009 (was it 2009? My concept of time is a bit frelled) and bought the album on 2-for-£8 at Asda along with Katy Perry's "One of the Boys" and have thoroughly enjoyed it ever since.

Whilst I'm on the subject of music, Brandon Flowers's solo album, Flamingo is too awesome for words. I'm seriously addicted to it, on the same level I was addicted The Killers' Day and Age last year. I will find an excuse to post one of his songs in this meme, so watch this space... :D



Greeny-yellow done, some in the grass and a few bits down the bottom as well.



That's some of the window frame. I did this colour in particular because it used another of the thread colours I had to buy more of and I wanted it out of the way. :) That was the only area which used it so I didn't bother doing another photo of the other half...

Also, here is a photograph of our new lime green toilet set:-



FINALLY! And obviously, it doesn't match the bathmat or shower curtain, but given the lack of choice I don't even care any more. :D Up yours, Man in Coventry. :P

And that's about it. There was another scan but (a) my stitching together of it looked frigging awful and (b) I couldn't actually tell what colour I'd done. The change was minimal enough for it not to matter... Sorry for the lateness on all this stuff; I was absolutely exhausted last week.

Addendum: Wychwood Brewery Photos from 18th September. :)

The toilet seat is awesome, and OMG YOU HAVE A LOO MERMAID!! :D

[teylaminh.livejournal.com]

*ahem* And I've now fixed the HTML so the rest of the post should be showing up. :)

At one point it looked like the old seat wouldn't come off as the screws / bolts were so rusty. And also we don't have a hacksaw, so it was down to sheer brute force and pliers that it came off at all.

Hee! I have three loo mermaids, actually. The one on the toilet (which sings bits of the songs from the Disney film), another one by the sink (also sings a very similar but not too similar song), and a little Ariel that came with a Happy Meal in the 80s. I have the whole set (Prince Eric w/ Sebastian, Flounder and Ursula). :D Actually, I'm sure neither of them sing any more as the batteries are dead...

I was obsessed with The Little Mermaid as a child. I have another Ariel in a shoebox in the attic as well. The new dolls weren't as nice as the originals, IMHO.

I want one like that only turquoise :)

[teylaminh.livejournal.com]

Ironically, you can get turquoise toilet seats in more places than you can get lime green. :) My mum used to have one, in fact. :D

There's an alarm clock on your loo?!

[teylaminh.livejournal.com]

Er... yes. It was the only free-standing clock I could find (the bathroom is fully tiled and I'm not brave enough to hang anything on the walls) and Paul doesn't let me put it in the bedroom because it's an old-fashioned wind-up one and it ticks too loudly for him. I keep forgetting to wind it up anyway...

I knew there was sense to it!
