One girl and her dog

Hay fever has gotten the better of me today, however this has not stopped me from venturing outside with my dog Barney :) The weather in England today has been rather pleasant, so off me and Barney went into the garden for the afternoon to collect our thoughts. Barney did however have other ideas about chasing my cat Kit around the garden, but Kit was having none of it!

Barney is one of those dogs who does not seem to have a care in the world! He is such a cutie and is always there to give you a hug if you need it! He is a bit bonkers at times, like he will randomly run round in circles or just sit there barking at nothing but he is very good natured and has a big heart! :)

When I woke up this morning I had a clear plan in my head of what I was going to do today. I thought I would plan what to pack for my not too distant holiday to Dorset, I would text my friend Ambra as she isn't too well and get a large part of my coursework out the way. However I only managed the two later plans as I could plan what to pack nearer the time.

That's the only trouble with summer holidays, the days I am not busy I get incredibly bored (and the holiday has only just started). I'm one of those people who needs to be kept occupied by something, like going out for a walk or blogging. I'm also one of those people who likes to be around others, and I think when I haven't got too much planned I do begin to feel kind of... bored. Anyway I'm going to enjoy the summer break as much as possible, as when I go back to college I'm probably going to feel a little bit more stressed with this being A-Level year and the University application process starts. Its all a bit scary to be honest! :S
I'm looking forward to Thursday, as I am going to another University induction day. This one is at 'City' in London. I've been told by my teachers that it is a really good university for children's nursing. It's interesting to go to different uni's as you are able to see what the courses look like. I really can't wait to go to Uni, I just hope I get accepted into the one I want to go to :)
I hope everyone is having a lovely week!
Love Kirsty and Barney .x.

Cat in a box!

After watching 'Pearl Harbour' for about the hundredth time on Saturday, I realised how brave the soldiers and citizens must have been through this difficult time! I love this film so much and I really think it gets the message across to the terrible circumstances that world war 2 held!


Theres another part of the film I absolutely love and that is the costumes used. The clothes they wear are stunning and the hair styles and lipsticks are so realistic! The men's army uniforms are also brilliantly mastered. Strangely enough I was routing around the cupboard under the stairs and I found that my dad has an American air force leather jacket (My dad has style! :o)


I think that actress 'Kate Beckinsale' plays the part brilliantly and really looks the part. Her dark brown hair and dark red lips really look as though she has stepped straight out of the 1940s.
In fact I think all of the women in the film look fabulous! The hairstyles are absolutely gorgeous (I just wish I knew how to do my hair like this!?) The picture above is one of my favourites from the film. The nurses uniforms are so unique and quite different from today but yet they look so adorable and ready to help others! In the film I find it ever so sad when 'Betty' is killed. She was such a nice and fun loving character. It really makes me cry when Sandra and so speechless about what has happened (as you would be) that she feels as though she doesn't know what to do. The fact that they just had to carry on is admirable .

If you have not seen 'Pearl Harbour' and you have fancied watching it, I would advise it because I find it such a brilliant film which if you like a bit of romance mixed with action is perfect for you!


In further news, which is not related to the film above ;) Yesterday I had an interview at a volunteering agency called HAVCO it was really interesting and I even got a chance to have a further interview at a company called 'Little Treasures'. It works with children and their families and is really a worthwhile, generous and kind organisation! I can't wait to start working there over the summer holidays! :D On this same day my friend Madison won the College Poetry competition! I want to congratulate her on her success. She really is an exceptional writer and defiantly has the ability to pursue her longed for writing career! Her blog is proof of this. To check her blog out click here: Madison!


I actually came down my stairs yesterday morning to find my cat 'Lucy' sitting in a box on my kitchen table! It was very random and she is a strange little weirdo but I love her for it! :)
Cats have such strange and wonderful ways! Every time we take our cats to the vets for a checkup, the vets can never hear their hearts as they purr to loudly (haha!)

Even my doggys Teddy and Barney are so hilarious to watch! Barney is a big softy and so is Teddy but he is bonkas! :)


I will leave you with that note,


Have a nice day,


Love Kirsty .x.
