We are loving our new GoPro Hero camera. It’s perfect for capturing Georgie underwater. Hope this puts a smile to your face. Have a great day.

The Flying Away Festival is one of those events I really look forward to. With an impressive number of artists rounded up on a football pitch in Nicosia, it is the perfect place to scour through all the handmade, vintage, artful and beautiful that our island has to offer. I fell head over heels for a teeny tiny music box and cute coasters but it was our friend Mike’s night to shine with a collection of paintings inspired by movies. His brilliant idea to set up a blackboard with blank lines to fill in for what you want to do before you die attracted a lot of attention. Mine was to go to Graceland (pause for reaction) but i thought the first one was pretty great. I have to ask though: Which one? Personally Christian Bale seems just fine. We spent a fantastic and creative evening sans Georgie unfortunately but from what I saw the event is kid-friendly with a bouncy castle and little boat rides available for fun so we might return with the little dude tomorrow. The Festival ends on Sunday at midnight so be sure to check it out if you’re in town.
The fact that June Carter found the courage to divorce in 1956 speaks volumes to me. Can you imagine what that must’ve been like? This is 2012 and where I come from, divorce is still a taboo! I had heard of June Carter before watching Walk The Line but it was during that first viewing of one of my now all-time favorite movies that it hit me. What a talent, yes …but what a personality! What a character! I fell in love with her strength and the way she stood by her man through gut-wrenching times. Times you hope you never have to encounter. It is safe to say that a lot of Johnny Cash would not be had June not taken on the role of his guardian angel. In my eyes, she was a pioneer, a person who spoke the truth and did what felt right for her and her children. She never lost focus. I admire that in a person very much.
While papa was busy working late a few nights ago, I decided to take the opportunity to catch up on my movies. I have a few DVDs unopened but after checking what was on the telly, I knew what I was going to watch. Frida came out in 2002 yet for some reason, that is totally beyond me, I have never seen it. I think it may had had something to do with Salma Hayek’s acting abilities and lack thereof, I say feeling guilty because I was pleasantly surprised that night.
Have a super great fabulous weekend!xxx
