I have new hair! Well, I have a new fringe colour – my hair cut/style is exactly the same as it has been for ages. On Friday night I got all impulsive and turned my fringe a gorgeous tropical blue-ish green with the help of Manic Panic classic cream formula Enchanted Forest. My purple bits were a nightmare to bleach out, and I ended up whacking the Manic Panic on over a bright blonde/peach-ish abomination of a fringe. Overall I’m rather pleased with how it turned out.

The only thing I will say is that the colour in the photos is much too blue – it’s more green in real life. I don’t think I look too rough on those pics, considering they were taken after 8 hours at the shop on the hottest day of the year so far. Winner!

Argh, I have been so busy these last couple of weeks it’s unbelievable! It’s all a good kind of busy, thankfully, but I can’t say too much just yet. Let it be known that life is good and exciting right now – for me AND Dan.

Last weekend we went to Alton Towers (again!) and finally got a chance to ride Thi3teen. It was entirely worth the 80 minute queue – not as scary as all the promo hype had built it up to be, but still amazingly fun. I’d love to go again soon, but it’s already twice this year now! We are rollercoaster nerds though, heh. One day we’ll have the money to go on a crazy coaster holiday to the USA. One day…

Knitting has been put on hold for a bit – I have a sleeve to finish, then I can sew up the Blythe sweater I’ve been making. I’ve not done any crochet in a couple of weeks either, but I did make a set of hats with some tasty alpaca flavoured yarn. Last night was the first chance I’d had to take some pictures (ie. free time after work + nice weather = GO GO GO!) so Dan & I went to Graves Park for a little adventure.

I took literally dozens of pictures, and had a really hard time deciding which ones to upload. Click here to see the rest from this little excursion. Dan took the DSLR out with us, and I had a little play with it for the first time. I’m getting much more confident with it now, and I’m really pleased with how the pictures came out. This is one of the photos I took with the DSLR -

I’m in love with how dreamy it came out – I think it really works with the fuzzy little hats.

Right then. I suppose I’d better run away now, and get on with the million and one things I have to do. Hopefully it won’t be too long until my next update!
