iPhone post for Blogspot's new mobile version

Oooo have you seen the fancy new mobile version of blogspot? How long has that been around? I really like it, with its new layout which makes it so much easier to navigate between posts. You can see more than one post at a time, and it just all fits, so it's awesome.

EDIT - I just went to check out this post, and the shiny new version has gone? Sadface.
EDIT 2 - It's back. This is confusing.

I totally had something to blog about today, but the new mobile version has completely blown my mind off course. Literally the only thing I can remember wanting to mention is such an insignificant thing I'm not sure I ever really planned on mentioning it at all.

I think I might buy a curling wand. One of the thick ones that makes really big curls. I have straighteners, heated rollers, a rather ancient but still fully functional spiral curling tong, and the fortunate ability to train my hair to curl naturally, and yet I have been desiring a curling wand for ages now, the desire for which grows rather than diminishes. I'm fairly sure it has nothing to do with Bubzbeauty *cough*.

I go through stages of YouTube favourites, but Bubzbeauty has been a solid favourite ever since I first discovered her. Not that I ever do any of her tutorials (tell a lie, my hair for the Xmas meal was from one of her videos), but I just find her very inspirational. Her hair always looks so flawless, and while I'm sure thats because she spends more time on it than I do on mine, I still can't help but aspire to look that perfectly casual. Obviously, this has to start with owning the same sorta of equipment.

So that's something that I might put on my birthday list, and add it to the piles of rarely used hair and beauty products and eqipent (iPhone auto correct, what are you doing?) equipment.

Oh, and the weighted massage hula hoop I have just ordered also had nothing to do with Bubz's videos and/or blog. No relation whatsoever.

I'm sleepy. I was going to finish watching the rest of last nights episode of Mary, but I'm thinking I might just go to sleep instead.

Memorable Quotes

Sometimes, you'll hear a phrase that particularly strikes a chord with you, and it will stick with you forever. I have a small collection of these phrases or quotes, mostly from films, but a few from family and friends. A lot of them are obvious, namely from such films that I have watched a million times or mean something significant to me. But today, we went to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and I heard a phrase that I liked instantly, even though the film, while well made and enjoyable, means little to me now and I doubt will mean any more in the future.

Everything will be alright in the end. If its not alright, then its not the end.

How true is that? On the one hand, its very positive and optimistic, reflecting on how people will always keep going until everything is better, one way or the other. However, I can't help but wonder what your supposed to do when everything is alight. Surely that means its the end.

In  my head, as I was composing this post mentally in the shower, I had a lot more to write. I think I'll just leave you with a quote of my Grandfather's, based around the town names of the Isle of Wight. It is clever as well as informative.

If you get SANDOWN YARMOUTH, DRINKWATER or NEWPORT whilst you RYDE on the backs of COWES.

A very witty yet practical man.

I'm blogging from my iPhone once again, but this time not because my laptop is ring slow or unresponsive, but due to laziness in my part. There are a few photos I wanted to share, and as these are on my iPhone, it seems to make more sense to just post from my iPhone rather than put them on my laptop and all that faff. Also, the mistakes in iPhone posts are always far more amusing than normal laptop blogged posts. Take for example the first sentence. I reread that and for some reason 'I'm on my way!' was in the middle. I have no idea how that happened. Kinda wish I hadn't deleted it now.

I spent a vast proportion of today watching Mary Stayed Out All Night. I felt so bad that I had spent so long watching it that I even cleaned the oven. Spent an hour and a half straight scrubbing, and my arms felt a little jellyfish (auto amusement) jellyish afterwards. Its a horrid job, but I have to admit I find it rewarding, cos you can always see the difference you have made.

Here's the sink after I had finished with the oven.

Bother. I can't add photos from my iPhone. I'll have to faff after all. And now I've reached the stage where I can't see what I'm writing anymore because the post is too long.

I finished the RSVP for the June wedding. It's pretty bitty but it amused me no end. I was going o post a photo of thy too, but right now I'm thinking I might just leave this post photo less as I really cannot be bothered. I hate not knowing ht I'm writing. This is most likely a stream of completely nonsense, but I'm going to keep it even if it is, just so you can see how hard it is blogging on an iPhone.
