Cat Day

So today is Cat Day. Personally I have never heard of this before, but being a lover of cats and blogging, I felt a post was in order. 

Obviously one of our cats  knew it was a holiday, as she greeted Mum with the gift  of a live mouse, shortly followed by a not so lucky shrew.

I have always been amazed at the feline's elegance, balance and ability to land on their feet! 

Not only are these very intelligent animals, but they are incredibly loyal and loving as well. 

Above is a photograph of my cats ( Left: Frankie, Right: Belle,) a year ago when we rescued them. Despite me living away, whenever I have been at home and in need of comfort they have known and been there to cuddle and amuse me. However when doing work and they decide to sit on it, that is definitely not relaxing in the slightest haha! 

Not Just Coffee - Great Coffee

So today is Sunday, which is market day down on Newcastle Quayside. This is a weekly event I love to visit as and when possible to buy local produce or presents. 

Today I went with the mission of Christmas shopping on my mind and a very productive outing. 

Those who know me, know I love coffee to the extent it could be considered an addiction. 

One of my favourite places to get my "fix" is Great Coffee. Not only do they make a great cup of coffee, but the views are splendid; choice ample, and staff very friendly. 

So of course whilst at the Quayside I had to also visit this quaint cafe. 

The aim of this post is really to promote two great, and possibly unknown attractions in Newcastle: 

The Quayside Sunday market, and Great Coffee. I highly recommend a visit to both! 

Here are the above mentioned attractions' websites containing further information:

Love My Readers, Love Music, Love Actually

Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to my readers. Despite my few and far between posts recently, I have now exceeded the 10 000 views mark!

But back to the post in hand. BBC have just remade the classic song - God only knows. 

Love actually fans will know this from the sound track, but this is a The Beach Boys original. Splendidly sporting some of the UK's best music talents, I'd highly recommend a watch of the clip! 

Might I add this is to celebrate the launch of BBC music, so lets expect more marvellous music to come.

Pin the Personality

The aforementioned Diversity project is moving along nicely.
My personal project area has developed to become based on the individual within a friendship group or subculture.

Here is the Pintrest Link to some of the influences and ideas for this:

To develop our photography and group skills, we have also been set a sub project to complete a photo-shoot in a group which also looks at Diversity. For this we have chosen to focus on the quirks of an individual.

Here is my Pintrest Board research for this area:
