Easter Decorating Ideas...

Easter is just round the corner and I haven't even had a chance to think of some cute decorating ideas. Still suffering from jet lag, I was quite pleased to come across these pretty images from IKEA Livet Hemma. A few bright accents and some sweet pastel coloured eggs, make me a very happy bunny indeed! ;)

London Marathon 2012 Week 23: City of York Wall

Now only 3 Sundays to go before the London Marathon 2012. I am resigned to do it but am wondering why on earth am I doing it? For the second time??? The painful after effects of the long training runs remind me exactly why I swore I would never, ever, never run a marathon again after my experience in 2002. I should have known better!

I've got fitter, lost a little bit of weight and I'm raising funds for a very good cause but frankly I think I will stick to a 30 minute jog around Wanstead flats and putting money into charity buckets at railway stations in the future.

Run of the week was on Saturday morning while I was in the City of York for the UNISON International Seminar. In the morning I went around the medieval City walls which are almost still complete. It was a foggy and the picture collage above does not do justice to York which is a breathtakingly beautiful and historic City. This is a fantastic run with lots of ups and down stairs at the numerous City gates.

When I was a child the Gray Clan use to come at Easter to York for camping and caravan holidays. So visits always brings back good memories. The one deeply unpleasant but very important memory I have of York was when visiting the 900 year old Clifford Tower, the old keep of York Castle, (see in collage on right) and slowly realising that this was the site in 1190 of a shameful "pogrom".  150 Jews (men, women and children) living in York at that time, were attacked by a mob and had tried to take refuge in the Royal Castle but were forced to commit mass suicide inside to avoid being tortured and murdered by the mob.  As a history obsessed teenager, very proud of his Country's history and heritage,  the realisation of what had occurred on this very same spot was a complete shock and a never forgotten lesson. A lesson sadly repeated on occasions in future years but never with the same first time chest thumping appalled impact.  

I am running the London Marathon for a charity set up to prevent young people becoming homeless and helping them if they do. Check out "Alone in London". Click here to sponsor me on the Justgiving website.

[CARTOON] Easter Cave

This one took a lot longer to draw than I anticipated, but it's ready for Easter Monday at least. Answers (in my mind) the question of how the rock that closed HIS tomb was moved. Perhaps in the next episode, the Hulk and Jesus become a crime-fighting duo... Past cartoons about... Easter Hulk religion spoof superhero

Easter Decorating Ideas

I still haven't done any Easter decorations and with me going away for the holidays I should really get a move on, any excuse to make our home prettier. Again Ikea have won me over with their table styling. Bright colours and simple styling is a definite look that I am loving and would love to try this out, rustic simplicity and reminiscence of summer lunches...

Dressing up twigs are also a favourite of mine, simple and an easy look to achieve. I love decorating small Easter eggs too. Here are some ideas I found while seahcing online, aren't they pretty?

from top clockwise: simple twig idea found via Decor8; Nina from Stylizimo does it again by decorating these pretty eggs with lovely pastel colours, gorgeous. Annaleena does simple rose twigs in a vase, love the rolled up fabric; more twigs with some birds from Desde my Ventana, so cute.

[CARTOON] Easter Island Constipation

M.D.: The longer the stool remains in a person's bowels, the more water is absorbed from it. This causes the stool to become increasingly hard and dry, and thus it is difficult to eliminate.

Nutritionist: More bulk in the diet, especially raw fruits and vegetables, bran cereals, and whole grains.

Psychiatrist: In most societies where there is early toilet training, control of body functions becomes intertwined with emotional control. Emotions repressed while coping with stressful events also affect the lower intestine, colon, and sphincter muscles. Resolving conflicts, or learning how to cope better with your everyday stresses, can solve elimination problems.

Cartoonist: Ah, bullshit!
