Moving day is over!

We're now out of the old place and in the new one. We moved in where my mum used to live so I'm back in my old room. I used to live here from when I was 13-14 to 15, it's funny and weird to be back. My mum lived here until recently so we got the place through her. We were moving all day yesterday with good help from some guys working with my mum and Ken in a firm who pretty much just lift things anyway.

The fun thing about moving is that you find things you thought you had lost or completely forgotten about. I found the dress I made for my prom in 9th grade, that was fun. I love that dress, I'd love to make more. I've worn this in too many funerals as it is the only black dress I think I've ever owned.

Here it is

The new apartment here doesn't have a dishwasher which I think is going to make me unhealthy as I will want to order food instead of making it so I don't have to clean, haha! It's a nice place though, it has a balcony and a pretty view. I like the grocery store nearby a lot. It's a little more expensive than the one that was close to the old place, but they have so much nice stuff.

 This is the view I've had from the bed, pretty chaotic. I've organized and made it a bit more tidy now though, thankfully. There's a lot still to do though.

We just now found the cutlery, haha! It's been missing in one of the million boxes around. It's made it tricky to eat as we couldn't find any what so ever! I'm making spaghetti later on, I hope I'll find everything I need for that. 

My riding gear I brought from Ireland that I still haven't used. Maybe I should!

My poor valentines day bear from last year being squeezed into a box with my shoes and Audrey Hepburn!

 I feel like I slept forever last night, it was very needed. It's switching between a snow storm and rain storm outside, I don't think the weather can make up it's mind. I haven't been outside yet, but it's pretty freezing in here.

Looots of love:)

Supremacy

Hey sweeties!

Today has been really long. Pretty early (as in the afternoon, but you know how I feel about mornings) me and Ken went to Sea Life in Bray. It's a small building on the middle of the pier. I was really excited, but there wasn't that much to see, haha! What was there was very nice though. Pictures! I'm having a bit of trouble with my camera on my phone at the moment, I'm not sure what it is, but every photo gets blurry and if I use flash the whole picture just turns way too white. My digital camera has a little water drop in it's lens after I dropped it in the water while rowing so the quality of my pictures won't be really good, my apologies!

Cutest seahorse!

A tiny shark!

A shark egg! You could see the baby swimming inside the egg.

Ken and me in front of the shark tank.

Afterwards we went to get ice cream and coffee at my favorite place in Bray. It's Italian and the ice cream there is the best! 

I can not forget to mention that I got the new Muse album last night. After midnight Ken was so kind and downloaded it for me. So exciting! There was like making of the album videos and stuff with it so we saw them in bed before we went to sleep. It was so nice and hilarious. We kept pretending that we were stealing their stuff by trying to take it of the screen it made me laugh so hard! I can't express my love for the new album enough, I literally can't get enough of it. It's amazing!!

Here it is on my phone! Eeee!

Then I got a phone call from someone very important!

Aren't my shoes so pretty??

Later we were gonna go and see Burning Amber, our friend Eoin's band, like I mention in a previous blog. They were playing in the Harbour Bar in Bray. For pre-drinks we drank some very fancy champaign that was a gift from my mum when she here last time!

The band killed it at the gig of course, they were great and very funny! It was their very first gig too so it was extra special.

Ken doing some sound check

For 11 euros you can get this!! Haha!

I had a really great day all together. Right now I'm about to go to sleep at Mandy's house because we are going to Wexford tomorrow morning looking for a new house for Mandy. I'll take some photos and blog about that tomorrow.

We also have our final moving date. We're officially leaving for Norway the 9th of October. Very exciting news!

Again if you want to see Ken's blog you can click here!

I'll see you soon:)

Lots of love xoxo

A really good few minutes!

Howdy!

I'm currently at Mandy's house with a proper internet connection which is heaven! Where I live in Bray doesn't have wifi at all so we use Kens 3G phone to connect me to his internet. Complicated stuff!

I'm so excited because my shoes are here!! They're a gift from Ken. They are just so pretty! I'll try to take a better picture of them tomorrow, but I had to show them off, they look like candy and they're even more sparkly than they look in the photo.

I'm so excited to wear them with my new dress. They make me so tall! I'm already 5'10 so in these I'm like over 6 feet tall. They're a bit hard to walk in, but for shoes like that I'll get used to anything.

I'm listening to the new Muse album right now and I'm just so in love with it! I can't even mention certain songs I like more than the others, they're just all amazing to me. It's fun hearing Chris sing for a change. I can't wait to get the album on Friday! I'm streaming it online at the moment. I always find it somewhat stressful when all the songs come out at once, it's so much to take in. I'm enjoying every second of it though. 

I recently heard that Lana Del Rey is releasing her Born To Die album again called Paradise Edition. That's very exciting news to me. Soon after she released her first album she became one of my favorite artists. I adore her music and style. Here's the new album cover:

Here she is looking stunning as always. There's gonna be eight new songs on the Paradise Edition, she released her new single 'Ride' yesterday, I love it. The album is out 12th of November. It's gonna be great having some new songs as I've had the same 15 songs from her last album on repeat the last four months. Poor Ken is so tired of it, haha. 

Good times lies ahead of me musically especially when Muse comes on tour. I'm going to see them in Austria because it was the only place in Europe with standing tickets left a few hours after the tickets came on sale. Muse gave us too short notice, they sent out an email announcing the tour and that the pre-sale starts tomorrow and the general ticket sale starts in 3 days or something silly like that. We didn't have money straight away, but we got money the morning of the general sale. We had to go in to town to put them in the bank to pay for the tickets so we were quite late and after having seated tickets on a Coldplay concert a few years back I promised myself never again. It's just not cool to sit on concerts and that's that.  Muse fans are crazy as usual and all of the standing tickets were sold out in five minutes or so everywhere apart from Austria so that's where we ended up buying tickets to. I'm fine with that, I'm actually very excited to go there as I've never been before, it's also really cool because a big part of Kens family is Austrian including his mum so it'll be nice to see Vienna. 

The Killers also released their new album 'Battle Born' recently which is always exciting. I'll probably catch them on their tour as well at some point. I like their new album. They can't seem to get enough of writing love songs which is fine by me.

I think now is a good time to introduce the animals here in Mandy's house. So here we go!

Evie is the dog, She hyperactive or something like that, she literally never gets tired, she always wants to play and be petted. Her intelligence is very impressive and she very well trained. I'm certain she understands what I'm saying to her. If we even mention the word 'walk' in a sentence she'll run to the door.

Here she is on Killiney Beach. They think she's an Australian Border Collie. She's always happy, positive and she loves everyone.

Suki is one of the two cats. He only has three legs because he was ran over by a car years ago. He loves me. He always wants to sit on my lap and he's always excited to see me. He's been Kens best buddy since they were kids.

Here's a picture of us from earlier. He's so adorable and his nose is all pink, it's so cute!

Gabriel is the second cat. I don't know him very well, he keeps mostly to himself. Here he his!

He just showed up one day and decided to live in their house so he chose them more so than they chose him. He's Mandy's cat, he'll only hang out with her. 

And Squirt, the turtle. She used to live at our house until we moved. She's gonna stay with Mandy while we're in Norway. She's getting bigger and bigger by the minute. She was apparently the size of a nickel when Ken got her and now he can barely lift her. She's grown a lot since I came here too and she still got something like two years left to grow which is terrifying. 

Here she is:)

They're all lovely. They all have big outgoing personalities which is always fun. 

These days we're watching The Simpsons. I've never watched before, but it's great fun! It's especially nice to have a show to watch now because it's still raining a lot, there are flood warnings and everything.

Maybe I should properly introduce Mandy as well.

  

She's great, she's one of those amazing mums, like my own, who knows everything! She's always got a helping hand and a good advice. She's always fun to be with and has great taste in music. She made me  feel so welcome when I moved here and she takes care of me when I need it.

That's it for today, let's hope the weather gets better so I can wear my new shoes! Hope to see you soon and if you want to read Kens blog you can find it here:)

Musey!

Eee! Excied! I just saw that Muse's new album is streaming right now! You can find it here!

Unless you've been living under a rock lately you'll know this is what the new Muse album cover will look like. The release date is 1st of October and I couldn't be more excited! Ken has ordered me the special edition and every time he wants me to get excited he turns on his "sexy voice" and tells me how he ordered the Deluxe Edition, it's so funny! I'm a hardcore Muse fan, they've been my favorite band since I was fourteen-fifteen years old.

Sadly my internet connection is really bad at the moment so I don't get to listen to the album yet, but if you're one of the luckier ones I hope you can find it on my link up there.

Earlier today we had a visit from Finn, he's Ken's dad's dog. I just have to show a photo of him because he looks like a big teddy or one of those big stuffed animals that are first price when you shoot or throw things at fun fairs!

Isn't he so fluffy?!

I had the limited edition Diet Coke cans designed by Jean Paul Gaultier earlier too. He designed one called 'Night' and one called 'Day'. I had the 'Night' one. I couldn't see the 'Day' one, but it features his signature Breton Blue-and-White stripes. This ''Night' one has a corset and cone bra design.

Yesterday I was at Eoin's band practice, they're really good, they have a gig at the Harbour Bar in Bray on Friday evening. If you're in the area you should definitely stop by! They're called Burning Amber. Eoin is one of Ken's old friends I think they've known each other through their entire teenagers. He's super nice, he's the go-to-guy if you need anything done. One time he climbed up and washed our sunroof windows from the outside!

Eoin is the blurry, hairy one in the middle. He's also Ken's best guitar buddy. They always write music together and he used to be around our house all the time to record with Ken. They play many of his songs in the band and it's fun hearing them now with a full band after having heard the songs played many, many times with only vocals and an acoustic guitar.

I'm going to visit Mandy tomorrow and I'm so excited because there is a pair of shoes waiting for me that was delivered to her address. I'll blog about them tomorrow, be excited, they are so stunning!

Here in Bray it's raining a lot today, it's really nice, it makes such a lovely sound. I hope it's raining less the next few days though, I wanna wear my new shoes a lot:)
