Maximo Park photees

As you might've guessed from my previous post, I went to see Maximo Park on Monday in the music centre which was so so so so (so so so) brilliant. Here are finally the photees. Perhaps it wasn't such a smart move going to the afterparty in the Hub considering it was a school night and I had to work the next morning at 10am. However, since work = taking photos = fun so it was grand. Shout out to Johnny for the photopass :-)

Ibiza.......

So as anticipated, I arrived to Ibiza late on Wednesday night and what didn't arrive was my luggage. I kinda knew it would happen so I packed a toothbrush in my hand luggage.. but I didn't know it THAT much as the toothbrush was all I f***ing had! crysies.
So I spent 2 days on the sunny island wearing black jeans and a black smelly top that I wore for travelling it truly sucked so much. Thankfully my camera equipment (except for my spare batteries and charges so it was kinda scary) was in my hand luggage so at least I could do what I came there for) The day I was leaving I got a phone call that they had my suitcase so wooohooo I got to pick it up and check it in right away for my flight back. The taxi driver said it was great, at least I don't have to put on a wash- I have a suitcase full of clean clothes! If only I could see it in that way.

This was our pool that I couldn't swim in because I didn't have my swimming gear
