Hello April!

My April began as I wish it to go on. Surrounded by all things Bowie!

If anyone follows me on Facebook or Twitter, you will know that I have recently fallen in love with the great man. I have always been a fan but within the past few months, something has just clicked between me and his music! It as all become clear that it is his magic touch that has provided current artists such as Lady Gaga with the inspiration to write, style and perform. He truly is THE original. You can feel his influence in all cultural areas.

After a Meadowhall shop on Monday night, I came home with a  mini Bowie haul of Cd's and a Bowie t-shirt from Primark (yes i know, I was surprised too) Quite a productive shopping trip me thinks! I got home, put a new CD on and it hasn't stopped playing since! Oh Starman! 

 I hope my April continues in the same manner. I am currently desperate to get to the "David Bowie is" exhibition at the V&A in London. Trying to get tickets for the marathon weekend in a fortnight so i think my plan of getting the earlier train after my lecture could pay off =)  

Keep everything crossed for me! 

April is also going to the month of gym visits galore. I'll state straight away, i am not trying to lose weight, in fact i would like to put some on! I just want to tone up. I've re started my on and off relationship with yoga to increase my flexibility and better my posture (muchly needed) I have also started a mini regime of sit ups, press ups and planks to occupy my mornings and evenings. This latter exercise plan is slightly easier when i have my gym buddy telling me how pitiful my efforts are. 

I am thankful to report that April seems to have brought a friend with him in the form of spring. We have beautiful sunshine here in the countryside this morning! Lets hope it stays   

I hope your April is full of spring sun, music and smiles

10 things that made me happy this week!

Well this week has been rather lovely!

1. Being at the naming ceremony of my fabulous friend's gorgeous little boy Rohan! It was so lovely seeing her so happy, it has been too long since our last catch up so I'll have to be making the journey more often =) Getting out there, meeting new people and having a laugh was exactly what i needed and has put me on such a high. I was lucky enough to have lots of cuddles with the main man on his big day. It is fair to say I'm feeling VERY broody at the moment!

2. Representing SHU Racing at a uni open day. Feeling like a team member gives me such a buzz, I had such a laugh with the guys. Our blog has just gone live so check it out for the latest news and photos from factory to track -  SHU RACING BLOG

3. Sitting down to watch The Boat Race. Love it and I swear I will get there to watch it one year! I do love a rower :-)

4. Getting back to the gym after a few weeks! Always feels good (afterwards) A gym session is always better with a friend, even if all that friend does is criticise you for "not sweating enough!"

5. Hearing that Oscar Pistorius has won his bail conditions appeal! He is now able to travel abroad and compete if he desires. I know it is probably the last thing on his mind but I for one hope he'll be back on the track before the trial but more than anything i pray that the Olympics weren't the final time we'll see him doing what he loves. The world needs your inspiration Oscar!

6. The pure fabulousness of David Bowie! Enough said!

7. Realising I have another week off uni =)

8.Sitting in the car waiting for mum to finish her marathon training in the beautiful sunshine, reading, while listening to Bowie. Feel so relaxed

9. Chilling out with a good magazine and a comfy chair for a while.

10. The start of British Summer! The clocks went forward last night and I'm already enjoying the extra bit of daylight we are getting. Can we have some warmer weather now??
