I did not know Waitrose sold such things.

The recording of Gok Wan's Fashion Fix was very exhausting. But rather good. They gave us lots to eat and I made myself sick by mixing every flavour of Vitamin Water. Which is disgusting, by the way. Lulu was the guest and she was amazing.

I went shopping on Saturday. Despite it being well sale busy, I survived. I bought four pairs of shoes, marmalade, tea, and a lovely wooden xylophone puller car for Amy's nephew. It is his christening on Sunday and his birthday on Tuesday. We had lunch in Leon, cream tea in Liberty and dinner in a crazy Indian restaurant where I was heckled for my bags. I love eating. I particularly love eating sushi on the bus. I'm aware this is frowned upon. But I never used to like sushi, so I'm having it at every available moment.

Today we visited Ham House. I've wanted to go there for a while and we had great fun pretending that it was actually ours. We ate our pack lunches in the beautiful gardens and took quite a few pictures. I had a cheese and tomato sandwich. Afterwards, we went to watch Narnia which was alot better than I thought it would be. I ate sushi. My belly was gurgling like a mother because I ran out of medication. I secretly hope that my doctor takes me off them when I see him tomorrow.

Do you like Amy's modern art? I am so completely tired. I should be painting my nails but I'm posting here and eating orange&ginger marmalade (!) on toast. I was asked to go to the old school three times this week. I had great fun on Monday and Tuesday making pirate displays. The training teacher applied to a very exclusive primary and they wanted to observe her in da hood. She's not really artistic, so I was asked to do it. I made the biggest ship imaginable and got gold paint on my new bag. I should have taken a picture (of the ship, not my bag) as I was well proud of the finished product. We watched Captain Pugwash. It never seemed as lame when I was a child.

They can't get enough of me. I was also asked to go to London Zoo with Reception today. I had a nice time, but the zoo is totally crap. We did see Dermot O'Leary looking rather dapper by some plants, though! On the way home, we passed a Camden sign and the nine-year old boy who helped us shouted, "Oh! I wanna see Amy Winehouse!" His mother was there and looked completely shocked.

Other things this week include watching the completely beautiful BBC Symphony Orchestra at the recording of In Tune. Involving my favourite conductor in the whole wide world. I will be going to this. Come with me.

Check out my great picture.

And a voting/game show thing with Richard Bacon in the American Church by Goodge St. They gave us goodies. We enjoyed ourselves despite the leaf-hair and strange wall paintings:

Is that not clearly a gun? Amy was stalked by Scientologists and they asked her where she would like to be in the future and she replied, "Um, Away?!" and then they left her alone. It was funny. I suppose I ooze Catholicism because they never bothered me.

At the cinema: Priceless. I liked this. The Ruins & Vagina Teeth, however, made me feel as if I had mental issues.

Tomorrow, I am going to see Gok Wan. I love him.

I love marmalade alot. I get through a jar a week, at least. I do sometimes get frightened that my teeth will fall out of my head. Frank Cooper's is my absolute favourite but we do like to try different brands from time to time. Above is the most hardcore marmalade I have ever come across. It is beautiful! And think of all the things I could possibly store in the lovely jar. This is now my second favourite marmalade EVER. Go on, buy yourself some. Please divulge any of your own recommendations. As long as it's not Bonne Maman. That marmalade is rubbish! I'll stop talking about this now. Some things I have been appreciating:

I've started my annual pre-pre-christmas preparations (I know!) already:
Photobucket
Each year I am made to feel like a big freak but when it comes to the crunch (the christmas rush) I sit back relaxed and smug...as a bug in a rug, perhaps. My list is complete and I just need to order a few things. Then, done! Leaving me to think about what colour christmas we are to have this year. Last year was pink and white, which my brother loved immensely I'm sure. I am drawn to blue and silver. I had chicken wings for dinner two days ago and now my body smells of meat. Disgusting! I've had about 6 baths to no avail. The fox was barking at me on my way home because he thought I was his next meal. So, I'm going to be a vegetarian again. I don't even like meat so much anymore. I had two tomatoes with my jacket potato today. Delicious!

Fall Out Boy doing Michael Jackson is so offensive. And I don't even like Michael Jackson!

My two new bags from recent charity outings. I like their faces! I even went to Golder's Green, I had never been there before and will not be going again. No, thank you.I have watched very many movies this week. Including the Omen remake which is not at all frightening and I felt like a big burke for avoiding it for so long. The Incredible Hulk, twice. I love Edward Norton and the Hulk looks a bit like my father. This is strange and amusing. My father is not green. Watch The Happening, so entirely random and the acting is wonderful! Mark Wahlburg's reactions are great. His frown lines make me happy.There were two recordings that I missed. Graham Norton because I went to a friend's exhibition opening. I had a great time milling around in my new Burberry golf shoes. It is exactly how I imagined it to be. Ladies topping up your champagne and arty types being pretentious in their fashionable attire. There were clearly people who just walked in for the free alcohol and somebody got into an argument with one. It was great. And, Rolf Harris came in! He demanded (in a really nice way) to know where the artist was. He talked to Sarah for absolutely ages by each of her paintings. He is the smiliest person I've ever seen. He wore jesus creepers and had ketchup on his chinos. Afterwards we went to eat at Strada and I ate the biggest pizza. I don't particularly like pizza. Also, missed We Need Answers because Amy and I went to the cinema and a medical center when it was closed. I seem to have had an unapparent growth spurt, Amy measured me and I am 5ft 5 and a half! The last time I was just 5ft 4. Madness.And here is one photo from Prague that was lost on my computer.

Prague is probably too beautiful to be real. I had such a good time walking about everywhere listening to old Xfm podcasts, generally confusing the locals with my outbursts of merriment. I was such a tourist. I bought a Prague card for 790kc (around £25) and had free entry into almost every attraction. I'm not completely sad but I calculated the amount it would have cost had I paid without the card and it came to over 2230kc (around £72) so this pleased me greatly. Immense fun was had by climbing various tall towers, boat rides and the like. I went to a wind recital at St. Nicholas Church and I had big tingles! My favourite place by far was the Czech Folk exhibition at Kinsky Summer House. Lots of amazing embroidered pieces and the traditional dress was WELL GOOD. There was a Christmas room and I loved it. Unfortunately I have no pictures, so you all need to go and see it for yourself. Yesterday, Claire booked the Director's Bar of Koko for her birthday and I had a nice time people watching and attempting to slap balloons. Before that, my sister and I were supposed to go to another Nokia Green Room but the acts weren't too exciting so we went shopping in East Sheen and Richmond. And today, there was a recording of a BBC Four comedy called Cabin Pressure. I laughed.

There seemed to be quite a bit of Christmas related goodies despite it being June.

That isn't actually a hot air balloon, it's some sort of ride of thrill.

Look! I had a brief heart attack as this is one letter away from my surname. No one has ever had my surname...apart from my family.

I spent the remainder of money on zany named treats, two pairs of tights and a beautiful bag.Did I kill your computer?
