Not enough nail vids on the net.


Internet Explorer users, please click on the video to enable controls.

It seems there are not enough nail videos on the net, so here's one to increase their number. In this video I go through a new set of acrylics with silver glitter tips and a gel topcoat. The look and feel of the video is purposely made to be soft and warm rather than stark, bright and clinical..... Enjoy!

We all met in the New Forest near Ringwood to have a birthday picnic for Jill. After a dodgy start to the day the weather turned out very good, and everybody had a great relaxing Sunday.

Lightning Strike.



Internet Explorer users click twice to start

Sat 22nd July 2006. This was a lightning strike on the house just behind where we live viewed from our patio doors. Mike found the lady who lives there in a neighbours house, she was shaken but fine. The lightning had travelled down the tv cable and blown the aerial socket and 2 power sockets (not plugs) out of the wall. In our house the strike set off the microwave (which you can hear in the video), destroyed two clocks and Ellens computer switched off and no longer works, it set the kids toothbrushes flashing. Mike saw a spark go across the front room from the telephone socket to the radiator. We are still finding things that arent working. All in all it was a storm to remember.

Our Cat Sammy


Say hello to our cute cat called Sammy.

We got him when he was about 2 years old, nearly 12 years ago. He came from Mike's sister Dawn, who had 5 cats at that time. He is very lazy, and spends most of his time sleeping in a warm sunny place, or in his bed on the heater. We all think he's great and he likes us too.

Let me introduce Rooney. He lives with another kitten called Simba, and is a bundle of fur and fun.

He allows my neighbour two doors down to live with him, aswell as feed, cuddle and play with him. At this moment in time he finds this arrangement quite agreeable.

For all you nail geeks out there, here is a description. These nails were created using Creative products - twilight powder for the glittery tips and intense pink for the nail beds with Brisa gel top coat for high shine finish.
