Throw a drink in someone's face.

I've always wanted to throw a drink in someone's face, the problem is that I'd have to be pretty pissed off with someone to do that and I don't get that angry very easily. I also don't particularly like getting angry so maybe some kind person can volunteer to be on the wrong end of my drink. Anyone?

Tiffany's

I'm not really the kind of girl who gets all excited about jewelery and diamonds, I'd rather go on a overseas trip than get an expensive diamond ring (future husbands take note) but there is something about Tiffany's... It could be that shade of blue or that Audrey Hepburn was in Breakfast at Tiffany's or their beautiful print ads or the pretty jewelery or possible all off those things rolled into one, but I want to get some pretty piece of jewelery in a blue Tiffany box, pretty please. I don't even want diamonds or gold, not a big fan, just some pretty silver thingy a necklace or a bracelet. (again future husbands take note) It would be great to get it as a romantic gift, but if I must I will buy it for myself and act all surprised when I open that little box. At least that way I'll get exactly what I want.

Little ginger monkeys

Number 8 on my bucket list is to see orangutans. I love them, they are such cute little ginger things. It astounds me that anyone would want to hurt them, but they are endangered because they are being killed and their habitats destroyed by palm oil farmers in Indonesia. I've booked a ticket to Indo this past week, so hopefully I will get to see them soon and hopefully these little monkeys stand a chance of surviving, it will be a sad, sad day when they are no more.

My bucket list, a tick and a red dress

So I'm back to illustrating my bucket list AND ticking things off it! I was meant to tick my "run 21km" box a few weeks ago when I went all the way to Knysna to run the Knysna half, sadly the whole thing got cancelled due to bad weather. So I was very happy to find another 21km to run on the 4th of August, but then after getting through practically the whole winter cold free I got a sore throat last Monday, I was so bummed, I just really wanted to tick that box. But by yesterday I was feeling ok and I thought I'd give the 21 a try and it turned out to be a really good race, I did it in 2 hours,luckily it was an easy route, still I'm pretty chuffed with myself and so happy to tick off that box. If you look closely at the group shot of my bucket list illustrations you will see a ticked box, the first! My new entry on the list is to own a red dress, (I don't own one and I think I should) pretty achievable, but I reckon I can throw a few easy ones in there. So if you're in Cape Town and you spot any cute red dresses let me know. As you can tell from the illy I love a dress with pockets.
