TB’s last Tape

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Freezing day which reflected my freezing mood. Not good. Thought my project to deliver food tourism products by the end of March 2010 was coming together quite well but bureaucracy is throttling it.I decided to leave work at 6 and fly home, was in two minds as it was pitch black, well I must confess […]



Manic Monday

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Sliding all over the minor roads only got worse when the spectacular yet low low sun made sure the morning commute to the city was a nightmare. Don’t know how many more wrinkles materialised but it was a major challenge.   The highlite however was listening to some quality radio and it made me feel mighty […]



Friday Misery

Monday, January 25th, 2010

It’s is absolutely freezing tonight. I have been working frantically all day, from meeting to meeting back to back. The day started off on the Lisburn Road and a meeting with Steven the Manager of Monzu where we talked about everything from the need to raise the profile and encourage visitors to the Lisburn Road […]



van gogh

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

very quick chat tonight!!  Loving the fact ironically that Van Gogh didn’t get going to 27 years of age - positive notes for me.  And is Van Gogh inspiring all this Corn flower blue colour that seems to be everywhere in the shops for spring??

Kohling out the Secret

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Well the moral brigade is out and on a witch hunt and it’s all over that school for scandal tragedy which has exploded in Northern Ireland involving  Mrs Robinson Robinson former MP and wife of Peter Robinson Robinson (the Northern Ireland Assembly leader), and the then 19-year-old Kirk McCambley.  It has got all the ingredients […]



Kevin Mcloud - Slumming it

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Watched without intention Kevin McLoud’s Slumming It screened on Friday night on Channel 4.  The remote control was at the ready but I was quickly sucked in and taken on a roller coaster journey from the absolute disgusting conditions the people live and work in to the less than content fashionistas of the middle class […]



Stella Wonderland

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Future is indeed starry and bright for UK’s own Starry lady Stella McCartney.  How amazing and inspiring to design for Disney and especially for such an imaginative wonderland as Alice’s.  Crazy world of Mad Hatters, Queens of Hearts, and all those tiny doors to open.  It’s almost like a designers reality world.  Good on Stella […]

MORE ON THE POLITIC V IMAGE

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Was watching the Chilcot enquiry and my fascination with choice of colours and what it says about men & their tie choices.  Today the very attractive Campbell wore a very unappealing tie - green, not a strong green but a sickly kind of weak alluding to be green colour.
 Like the no no to men who […]
