Malawi and Music

A strange mix... I know, but these two things are what mean a lot to me at this moment in time!

I'd like to tell you about my other blog that I set up the other day, as I'm going on a trip to Malawi. Please check it out!

Another very important part in my life is music. I dance lots, and I am seldom without my ipod or radio on in my room. I've found some songs that I'd love to share with you guys, and find out what you think of them!

First of all is a beautiful cover of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" by Daughter. This was recorded at Radio 1's live lounge, and gave me goosebumps. Haven't been able to stop listening to it since.

Secondly, my friend played this song a couple of days ago, and it brought a lot of memories flooding back. So sad, but still hopeful. And I'm sure most of you will not of heard it in a while, but thought you would appreciate it now. (Thanks Niamh)

But on a lighter note, my final song choice to share with you is "Attracting Flies" by Alunageorge. It's fun, quirky and feisty! Give it a go, something a bit different.

Hope you've enjoyed my random little selection of music!

Busy, busy, busy

Why is life so hectic sometimes? Phew, I feel like I've been rushed off my feet in a storm of homework, revision and social life. And of course, the latter is the most important! Done many things since I last posted; which yes, i know, was AGES ago. I went to my school's Valentine's dance, which was so much fun. My friends and I went as the characters from Alice in Wonderland, with another two of my friends who went it leopard cat suits! I was the red queen of hearts.

I have also baked, LOTS. These are my two favourite creations- custard creams and berry cupcakes. Thanks to the 'a spoonful of sugar' blog, I made these delicious biscuits. And in case you're wondering, I made the pink icing roses by hand!

I saw Emeli Sandé at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh recently with a friend, Iona (far left on Alice in Wonderland pic). She was absolutely phenomenal, such a brilliant show. I was sitting quite far back, so the pictures aren't great, but the music certainly was.

Now, I really must get back to revision, I was just having a break. But I promise to blog soon!

Love you lots like jellytots,
