Around this time last week I was back on the Isle of Wight celebrating my nan and uncle's birthdays, one on saturday and the other sunday. I really enjoy family time like that, especially with BBQ food and alcohol supplied, and so did everyonelse and in particular my nan who discovered Cactus Jack cherry shots at 80 years old! The following day we went for a meal for my uncle's birthday and then a walk around the pier whilst the kids/teens played on the machines. Also whilst on the island I saw my dad and sister and went buzzard watching on Brading downs which was great. There were around 6 flying above us at one point and they really are beautiful birds, the zoom on my camera was certainly put to the test though as they didn't like coming that close!
Of course with the EjectorSeat Arts Festival coming up fast, I've increased by paper butterfly output! On wednesday I visited my friend Somali who had her Fabricland coworkers round to cook a meal and cut out bunting, also for the festival, so I enjoyed some lovely curry and watched Labyrinth whilst cutting. I didn't go without help though and it was a really nice evening! The following day I enlisted Nikki to help and again with film accompaniment, Willow and Corpse Bride, another large batch were created. The total is somewhere around 560/70, I did know the exact number but have since forgotten! Earlier today I tested out different tape with the butterflies on the tree in my garden and am still awaiting results, though I will be doing a slight test run on my chosen tree next week.
I don't want my tan to fade..
