Geeky Things I Own: Hermione Granger Wannabe

On my 21st birthday my mum took me to the Harry Potter Studio; Thomas tagged along as well and I have to say it was my best birthday I've ever had, forget going out and getting drunk with your friends Warner Brothers Studio Tour is where it's at. Obviously you can't not buy a wand while you're there and I must have been amusing rocking up to the till with Hermione Granger's wand and Crookshanks, keeping in mind my hair is exactly as Hermione's is described in the book. Memories of primary school have come flooding back, being called Hermione was better than the other nickname I can remember...

It was Wand Week when we visited so we got to see the ladies behind the wand designs make them, it was amazing to watch. I love the leaf detail on Hermione's wand but I also really like Luna Lovegood's wand but I think Hermione's suits me better.

Then I seen the plushies and of course I had to get one of the cats, I actually wanted Mrs Norris but they didn't have her, disappointing oversight. Anyway I love ginger cats so I wasn't disappointed getting Crookshanks I just knew I'd look like a Hermione fanatic but I was far from the only one I bet. I'd love to go back for pet week and meet the animal actors and their trainers.

Thank you for reading, oh the Slytherin scarf was given to me by a friend as I was sorted into Slytherin on Pottermore. Feel free to read into that.

Burgers and Cats

This whole post is purely a cat appreciation post.

 

 

This is Quinn my friend Amy's kitty,I got distracted by the cat when we were making burgers, well watch Amy cook them really. We also ordered pizza that we got for free, we are fatties.

 

Amy and her "burger ladle" did a damn fine job, the cheese burgers were tasty. Also Quinn would only stay still if Amy held her, she wanted to terrorise the blackbirds outside instead of hanging with us.

Thank you for ready, it's terrible that my first cat appreciation post isn't of my own cat.

The Spring Clean and Catzilla!

This weekend was pretty exhausting. Thomas and I went to see Godzilla; we booked tickets at Tyneside Cinema and got the sofa seats. They are the comfiest seats in all of Newcastle, second only to my bed. My old lady bones hate the sofa at home never mind awkward cinema seats (grumpy spine). 

Pretty much me with back pain.

After the cinema we visited my mother dearest and Milward (the cat). My mum has been going crazy with baking, cakes, cupcakes, brownies, the list is endless. She made Thomas and I fudge, cream and Oreo brownie things (forgot the actual name, sorry Mum) and they are mighty, we took quite a few away with us for later.
Then I discovered the cat had trashed my room and ruined some stuff, for example a vinyl record Thomas had bought me for a birthday past. I'm a very sentimental person, if someone gives me a gift I keep it forever, especially presents from important people in my life. I cried. Milward really is Catzilla.

When we got back to the flat the next day we decided to spring clean everything! We blitzed the bedroom and made a new set up for me as the laptop is on its last legs these days (We're getting a new one, which I will probably review).

Dual monitors babeh...

We also reorganised some of the living room. Cleaning is incredibly tiring, you always forget that on the outset then four hours later you're in a lot of pain (or I am anyway). Thomas and I slept like babies after all that. 

Bookcase is all shiny now

 Thank you for reading :) The weather at the moment is so pretty I want to take off and go on an adventure, eat picnics, read under trees, eat ice lollies and all that other summertime crap.
