Today...

I spent a load of time applying for jobs, jobs in London. I just wonder how many replies i'll receive out of the,

2 Gap Application ( in all fairness im probs not qualified to be a visual associate,but i don't see why i can't sell baby clothes.)

3 Paperchase Applications

3 Lush Applications

1 white stuff Application

So yes, i am going to keep a Blog tally chart of any interviews/reply i receive.

London will only work if i have a job. End of.

I have also realized that this is the first time i have mentioned the

'Josie moves to London' possibility. But thats all it is at the moment a 'possibility'/ 'run away'/ 'adventure'/'cleansing'/

I also, prayed epically that i pass my driving test tomorrow at 8.45am, i managed to get a late booking/cancelation, which i totally a God thing, otherwise id be doing it on the 10th September, when i may possibly be in London. So i need to Pass - NEED TO!

I also walked the dog to the view point, i'm quite protective over the view point, i don't like other people being there, and ever since they built a proper path more people are enjoying the view. But its mine and it holds memories, i love it there.

Thats all x

My lovely mother, brought me a present today..

"Not Another TEEN KNITTING BOOK"

Basically a cheery lady (pictured above - i assume) named Vickie Howell has written the ultimate 'teen' guide to knitting.

This is what the blurb says..

"whether you're a rocker, jock, homecoming queen, or nerd, Vickie Howell knows how to rock your world"

If i was fortunate to pass my driving test, and own my first car, i could jazz it up with a knitted steering wheel cover. This is what Vicky says

"As with a first love, we all have a special relationship with our first car. How do you express this special connection? ..by cozying up whenever possible!"

I wonder what knitted garment best describes me...

This jacket is one of the better pieces, however i would never class myself as a jock, i think my flexibility and flirting would need some work.

Sweater vests are good, but i lack the intelligence and patience required by a nerd.

Thats pure brilliance, that lovely vicky believes a multi coloured hat describes a drama student..

At the back of the book, it gives details of each person who has conveyed a different 'teen', and the goth picture was ironically modeled by a lady named "Raven Knitshade", now i wasn't too sure whether to take this seriously, but my concerns were clarified when the skater.. Steven "slip stitch" Cunningham had reportedly won the Nobel Piece Prize for Best Knitted Project! Now i said i wasn't intelligent enough to be a nerd, but my logic tells me, there trying to be funny!

Anyway, i have concluded that although i have no idea why there called 'Granolas' - because as far as i'm aware thats a type of healthy snack. I like the fact that she has knitted a scarf, the only realistic knitted item in the whole book.

So cheers Vicky, for writing a truly ridiculous book, it was worth every penny of the reduced price £1.99.

As much as i have always hated the 'poncho', my feelings for the garment have changed on discovery of this masterpiece..

'Your very beautiful Barcelona'

"Your very beautiful Barcelona, your new york but with pretty balcony's complete with terra-cotta pots. In fact your nothing like new york, thats a poor comparison, your no concrete jungle, every building is finished differently. Completely unique."

Gaudi is king over the city, i like him very much, he has patience to a degree which i will never have, enough patience that even after his death his church is still unfinished. His park is every bit a maze, he created it to be lived in not just to be looked at. Completely dedicated to his art an intelligent obsession.

On a visit to an art gallery, i thought to myself that id much rather speak to the artists that look at there work. I also concluded that people make art so that there is something to remember them by when they die. This of course is not true, but is a fact. Looking at a frame containing simply 4 pieces of wood standing upright, i remembered what Andy Warhol said "Art is what you can get away with", and in this case that is very true.

Where as my grandparents would much rather roam around in the mountains of Switzerland, i feel at home in the city, i like falling asleep listening to next doors conversations, and smelling the stench of grease rising from the cafe. Its comforting.

I will learn Spanish, then i will return to Barcelona possibly for an increased length of time, and i will simply wonder in the heat and walk on the pretty tilled streets.

Irene asked me to make her a red dress, and so i have attempted it..

However, i have developed a rather strong love for it, the skirt is made out of a sari my dad brought from India, when i was about 6 or 7. I thought the sari was amazing, and i still do. x
