I’ve got a job!

A real job. That isn’t based in a supermarket.

I am now a Junior Designer at emc design in Stevington, just outside of Bedford, who specialise in books for education. I was on a 6 week temporary contract, which started at the end of September, but after 3 weeks I seem to have done well enough for them to offer me a permanent position.

Exciting!

Stickers on the Central Line

Papa pointed me in the direction of this marvellous news story about spoof, but very authentic-looking, signs on the Underground. Unfortunately I haven't seen any for myself – probably because I haven't been on the Central Line in a while. But thankfully there is a blog full of the signs!

Day Trip to the Seaside

I went to Brighton today with the initial main purpose of going for a sea swim, coinciding with the “first swim of the year” in Falmouth (for the academic year, of course), but also to meet up with a few graphics people. Which ultimately always wins over a sea swim anyway.

It was a wonderful day in which the sun was shining and it was surprisingly warm – but don't worry, the sea was absolutely freezing. I really do like Brighton despite it being only my second visit, and being by the sea again was great.

Sparkly sea.

Proof.

I don't think this one was concrete.

They have these dolphin bins in Falmouth.

Moominpapa!

So, let's do it again soon. Yeah?

Stony Stratford

Although I have been in Stony today, at Oxfam, I actually took these photos last weekend and forgot to take them off my camera. Besides, today was sunny.

Wind-swept tree.

This is the closest I've ever seen a heron.

Obviously I took more than this but they were mostly rubbish without sunshine.

Tim Hunt

Tim Hunt is a graduate from BA Marine and Natural History Photography at University College Falmouth. He appeared in today's Alumni News email newsletter with a stunning tree photograph that lurred me to look at his website. And his whole portfolio is much the same; amazing.

Tree!

Tin mines!

Choughs!

This is just a small selection of my favourites, be sure to have an in-depth browse of his website.

Volkswagen I

I have recently joined the Volkswagen club and I am loving my new car, a VW Fox. Whilst at the garage, before buying the car, I had a browse of a classic VW advertising book. Ads that I'd first discovered whilst at college, 4 or 5 years ago, and somehow managed to forget about. Not sure why, they are absolutely brilliant.
