What to expect in London:

What to expect in London:

1.There are no traffic laws.
Either that, or the crosswalks are really wide.
When I was crossing, people just kinda J-walked across the street.

The biker is just waiting in the middle of the road while cars pass

2. The sidewalks are wide too.
Look at the photo.

3.Double decker bus.
It looks modern now.

4. Instead of a fire extinguisher the have a fire blanket.
I know, weird right.

5. Everyone walks.
Or takes the underground.

Re-decorating

     This summer, my little sister is moving out of my room. I was looking through a PB teen catalog and found this decor that might go in my room. Please give me your feedback in the comments.

So starting with the bed. My comforter is navy blue and the wall of my room are yellow, so, I decided on white furniture.


 I chose this bed from their "Elsie" collection. I like that it has storage underneath.  I love the detail on the headboard. A lot of the beds had shelves that went over the top, but I don't like those because the top takes up space and I can never find a way to not make to shelves look cluttered.




Here's a view without the bedding.

Now for a nightstand. I chose one from the same collection so that the drawers matched.


As you can see, the design on the side matches the headboard. The handle on the drawer does too.

I also want a desk. I found this one called the Chelsea Classic desk. It is not from the same collection because the Elsie desk had the shelves over it. This one is pretty similar aside from the drawer handles.

The knobs aren't the same, but if that really bothers me, it's and easy fix.


I thought that this aqua-blue "pool" color looked nice with the navy and yellow, and gives a nice pop of color. I chose a simple, one-color chair because the focus is on the desk. I am debating if this chair really works with the desk, I think the chair looks a little modern and the desk, vintage.


I also found this lamp which would look amazing on the nightstand or the desk. I love the gold and aqua color in a color block pattern. 


And finally, I found this reading chair that looks super comfortable. The pillows don't come with it so I will put my own on it. I have a khaki pillow with a giraffe on it that might work with this chair.
It would be a perfect reading chair.



Flexibility and Extensions

 This first one is my favorite. It kind of looks like a needle. It took several tries to get a successful shot.

  I took a class called flexibility and extensions. We did a lot of stretching and over splits and extensions.  I can now do this with the help of a wall.

This picture turned out sideways, but anyway, it is a blurry attitude.
This photo is also sideways. I can do this upright, but I liked the look of it like this.

Great advice

      Benjamin Franklin's was a great, inventor, scientist, author, printer, and founding father. Some of his advice we recognize today. Others, we never think about and don't make sense. I went through Poor Richard's Almanack and found some; these are my favorites.

 "Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead."

 "Fish and visitors stink after 3 days."

 "Speak little, do much."
  
  "Hope of gain, lessens pain."

  "Who pleasure gives shall joy receive."

   "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."

   "Without justice, courage is weak."

   "Glass, china, and reputation are easily cracked and not well mended."

   " An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

     " A penny saved is a penny earned."
  

   And finally, one from Patrick Henry: "Give me liberty, or give me death!!!!"
