Western Spaghetti and Fresh Guacamole

Director PES transforms familiar objects into food.
There's something that my OCD side finds deeply satisfying about these videos.
My favourite bit has to be when the 'chilli' is deseeded and chopped into Monopoly houses.

Morocco

This time last week I returned from my trip to Morocco. We stayed in Agadir, the sea breeze and heat was more forgiving on the coast. Many adventures occurred such as The Great Camel Excursion: Journey to the Flamingos (there were no flamingos). Voyage of the Sea Canoes: Kelly Tackles a jellyfish Kraken, and lastly Mega Cowan vs. Giant Bout of Seasickness (see below).

We also went and explored Marrakech for a day where we discovered you can actually sweat from your eyelids in 43 degree weather. We visited the beautiful Majorelle Gardens and a royal palace (I couldn't find the exact name) both of which had breath-taking architecture. 

The atmosphere and the culture in Morocco is amazing. From the bustling souks in Marrakech to the wise-cracking crew of a boat in Agadir, who think it's wise to dump sea water from a bucket which had previously contained fish on a seasick tourist.

Camel rides and the best behaved camel in the world.

 

Contrast. (The sea looks deceptively calm in this photo, don't be fooled!)

And now some nice snaps:

My Random Oddities- Deer Weather Barometer

I've been rummaging for various props for Rosie G's upcoming art direction shoot for her new catalogue, and uncovered my Nana's old deer head/weather barameter.

This is pure tat at its (100% plastic) finest, but I love it so much. I remember seeing it as a child and thinking it must be magic.

I've currently got it up on my wall above the fireplace and sofa in my student house.

The stodgy blue sofa and shabby wallpaper is courtesy of my landlord, all the knickknacks on the mantlepiece are mine. They include a painting of an owl Jane Bowyer made me last Christmas, an empty beer bottle I took from a 'professional ghost' in York, a Very Hungry Caterpillar plush from Sarah Swanton, an Amanda Visell figure I bought in Amsterdam, and my favourite photo of my mum. 

I'll stop blathering about my bizarre trinkets for now. In the next few months I'll be finishing university and looking for a new house to fill with more of my weird stuff, I can't wait!
