I'm Grrrrrrreeeeaat!
I am great, not in a egotistical, vain, self-promoting way, but in an I'm fine, well, alive sort of way! I am so sorry for my lack of visits to all your streams recently, but I have been busy doing Bank holiday weekend things with family. We had a 4 day weekend last weekend and another this week in the UK, because of usual holidays and also Kate & William's wedding. My sister was visiting, so we had a few days out and took lots of pictures. But she has been using my room, blocking access to my iMac. So I used this as an excuse to have a little break from flickr. I have missed you all though and will catch up on all your streams on my day off tomorrow :)
The weather has been stunning here, so I have lots of pictures that I hope will come out ok, so please visit me again, if you can forgive my absence from your own streams!
Oh, this picture! I should probably explain it. This is me, taken yesterday at a Beer Festival in Baldock, Hertfordshire. This was a fantastic family event, which is different to any other festival I have been to (and that is quite a number!). I kept seeing these kids with amazingly good face paintings. This scene took me back to a scene in one of my favourite sitcoms, Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights, where a guy gets his face painted by some travelers who used spray paint. It doesn't come off, so he spends the rest of the series with a tiger face or really thick white cover-up. Its great. So I wanted to do it too. I asked for a tiger and the woman total exceeded my expectations and came up with this awesomely camp design in under 5 minutes! I was chuffed.
I spent the rest of the day with this on my face, including traveling home on 2 busy trains and having a meal in a very crowded young persons pub! It was awesome. I got some very funny looks, but it was even funnier the way most people tried to ignore it! I went way over the top, egged-on by my sister. Growling at cars and other such juvenile antics that befitted the face painting! I think most people thought I was probably mentally handicapped and tried not to laugh and hurt my feelings. Or maybe they thought I was a total idiot!
But I felt Grrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeaat!
:D
