Friday Favourites #16

Lucas went back to school this week and the house has been so quiet without him.  It's astonishing how much noise one small child can create just by being!  All things considered, it's been a good week, but I could have done without being ill yesterday.

Favourite TV show

Okay, so I know this came out in 2003, but I was caught up in a wedding planning frenzy back then, so didn't watch it.  Since then, I've somehow managed to miss ever single repeat and despite it being on my list for a couple of years, LoveFILM have failed to send it to me.  I may or may not have done a jig of excitement when I spotted it on Netflix a few days ago, but have been happily mainlining it ever since.

I am loving the dark comedy, especially the ignominious nature of George's death, her sister Reggie's response (which is both emotional and hilarious), and all the misadventures that happen to George as she settles into her new role as a Grim Reaper.  Definitely one to watch!!

Favourite "street" art

© Ruddy Muddy

This week the Norfolk newspapers and then the nationals picked up the story of "Ruddy Muddy", the Norfolk delivery driver who has taken to drawing on the mud and dirt on the sides of his white delivery van.  I've never seen a van with anything other than the ubiquitous giant cock and balls drawn in the dirt, or "Wash me!" written on it; I'm hoping that Ruddy's graffilthy art catches on.  It's so nice to see someone doing something different and beautiful!

Favourite LEGO

The Simpsons is coming to LEGO!  I'm pretty stoked about this--the set looks awesome with a house that opens up, all the bedrooms...heck, there's even Homer's car in the garage!  Unsurprisingly there's a hefty price tag to go with all this awesome.  We're looking at about £179.99 in the UK and $200 in the USA.   I generally leave all the LEGO building to Dave and Lucas, but if I suddenly won the Lottery I'd sequester myself in a locked room and build this beauty all by myself.


(The video starts off a bit slowly, so skip to 1:30 for the good stuff!  Sorry, LEGO.)

Favourite Blog Posts

♥ This week I laughed until I cried as I read Betty the Puppy's takeover of Michelle's blog, Life Outside London.  We've always known Betty is gorgeous, but I never knew she was hilarious, too!
♥ Rhiannon's Elfen Leaf Cloak Clasp tutorial, inspired by The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings is awesome!
♥ I loved Jenny's post about the seal pups at Horsey!  Seal pups are possibly the most adorable animal in the world; I can't believe how close she got to the pups.
