Demi Vert

At long last I'd like to introduce everyone to Demi Vert, our downstairs flat with a back garden. I've taken some pictures and then stuck them together to make larger pictures. They pretty much speak for themselves so I'm going to let them do just that. It would be nice if you'd let me know what you think of the place!

The Front Room:

The Hallway:

The Dining Room:

The Back Garden:

You may have noticed that I didn't include images of the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. That's not because we don't have them, but more because we'd like not to post pictures of them on the internet. We're weird like that!

"One Town, 50 different People, One very difficult Question"

Here's a little video a friend of mine posted on Facebook. It's filmed in Galway and I think it makes for interesting viewing.

The Royal Wedding

Did you ever play 'Where's Waldo?' (Where's Wally for the English readers) when you were younger? Here's your chance to relive the experience! Aside from being in the background as When we went to London to see the wedding there was a picture taken of the crowd in Hyde Park that will be kept in the official wedding album. It just so happens that you can see my face and hat in said picture, see if you can find me...

Overall the entire day was fantastic. We got a seat near the front of the crowd in Hyde Park (which at it's peak swelled to 130 000 people) and when the airplanes did their royal wedding fly over on the big screen in the park, we all turned around and watched them appear, from behind some trees, and fly above our heads as they circled the park. It really felt like we were a part of something amazing. Then, after a jug of Pimms in the park, we went out walking in London just to see what else was going on, I got a roadside view of Prince William and Duchess Catherine driving away from Buckingham palace. I'm sorry to say that, because nobody was expecting them to drive past, I was too overwhelmed to actually snap any pictures, but I got a good one of Camilla as she and Prince Charles drove past. I'll post more pictures of the day when I get them off Fiona's camera.

Twins Talking

I can't embed it, but it's still worth watching. I don't know what the discourse is like in Canada (or even the UK for that matter. I guess I should listen to something other than TodayFM) and I also hadn't seen the original video. So this made me smile.

What have we come to?

I've recently happened across an interested article on Treehugger.com about our attitudes towards meat in the industrialised world. I've included at little snippet of the article here, on Colour Circus, but if you're interested enough to read the rest of the article, you can click here.

"National Butchers' Week aims to help Brits learn more about the meat they eat. The poll surveyed 1000 adult meat-eaters on basic cuts of meat.

An alarming 17 percent thought that pork wings are an actual cut of meat.

Nearly twenty percent thought that tofu ribs and leg of liver were cuts of meat. As many as 23 percent thought that chicken chops or lamb drumsticks were something that you can buy from a butcher."
