Creeping out of Hibernation

Hello Everyone!

How are we all? I hope Lockdown 3 was bearable for you. I have been very busy settling in at work, decorating the house, and just generally adjusting to life. As decorating seems to have ground to a halt and the fella's busier than every with his work, I feel like I have five minutes to breathe and actually get on with some blogging.

What do We Have on the Horizon?

Well, firstly, #30DaysWild is fast approaching! Drop any comments below if you have some good ideas for random acts of wildness. It is my intention to draw up a list of ideas so I don't just do "lunch time walk with the doggo". Note to self: must install Word on shiny new computer. Secondly, I have not been idle in my time away. I have compiled me a nice spreadsheet of ideas and plans moving forward with this blog. But again, need to install Microsoft Office! It's all well and good having an Excel spreadsheet, but entirely useless if I cannot access it!

Some segments will be returning, others will be merging, and if I recall there might even be a new one! Obviously, it would not be Landlocked Mermaid Salop without Marine Creature of the Month and venturing into my kitchen. I have been really lacking with my baking recently - so much to do and not enough time to do it in. Am I officially an adult? Well, this next sentence may prove otherwise. Lidl had llama and cactus silicone moulds a while back and you can bet good money on the fact I bought them. I tested them by making the fella brownies for his birthday cake, and they turned out awesome!

Basically, expect any and all future baking to be llama/cactus shaped. Or bunny shaped. Carole rather kindly donated some bunny moulds which we taking up space and not being used. I do have every intention of making chocolate bunnies. Maybe even cheesecake bunnies... Would that work?

Anything Else?

Probably, but who knows. I need to sort out a schedule, but fingers crossed I will be starting to appear more regularly again. In the mean time, say hello, share wild ideas, and just be your wonderful selves!

Recycla-cools: EcoBricks

Image
You know how you see something once and then several times over that day you see that same thing over and over? Well, that happened to me recently. I was scrolling through Instagram and someone mentioned EcoBricks . It came up a couple more times and then my co-worker messaged me, asking about them! It was a sign from the universe, my next post was going to be about EcoBricks after doing some much needed research. EcoBrick wall. Photo from cobute 🌍 WHAT IS AN ECOBRICK?!  I think the website puts it best: An EcoBrick is a reusable building block created by packing clean and dry used plastic into a plastic bottle to a set density. Essentially, plastic bottles are stuffed with non-recyclable plastics to create a sturdy building block with almost limitless uses. Much like the water bottle houses I covered recently. EcoBrick is a global organisation which is trying to give our essentially value-less trash value. By packing it into a bottle, it has been removed fr...

Final Friday Top Five!

Image
It occurs to me that I should be thinking about Christmas... But I don't have the brain for it, so it can be Not Christmas for just a little bit longer. So have a Top Five! Final Friday Top Five Disney Sidekicks From Movies In/On/Around Water Yes, that specific. Do you know how few Disney films are based around water? So some real liberties have been taken. Starting with... 5. Ray (The Princess & The Frog) Picture from Disney Wiki Bear with me on this one. So he's in The Princess & The Frog , which has an actual water-y sidekick - Louis the Alligator. But Ray lives in the Bayou which is a swampy habitat. While I like the trumpet playing gator, I like Ray better. He is voiced by Jim Cummings , who voices everyone! From Scar's singing voice to modern Winnie the Pooh, if the film is animated this guy is likely to be in it. Plus, he sings My Belle Evangeline which is not only beautiful but the song my sister walked down the aisle to. It ma...

Marine Creature of the Month JUNE

Image
I was hoping to have the next Sharks at 7 & 3/4 s filmed and edited by now, but the boy ran off half way through filming and then told me he doesn't want to do it because it was too stressful! So that is still in the works right now. Instead, have a #MCotM! Manta Ray via GIPHY Kingdom: Animalia Class: Chordata Conservation Status: Vunerable (VU) Found: International waters Diet: Zooplankton Weight: Up to 1,350kg (2,980lbs) Size: From 5.5m (18ft) to 7m (23ft) Habitat: Temperate, subtropical and tropical waters; pelagic waters. Manta rays, known online as majestic flap flaps (!), are huge and beautiful creatures. Just look at it flap along - look at it! Fangirling aside, they are incredible. There are two species of manta ray: M. birostris (the larger of the two) and M. alfredi (named after Prince Alfred). They are both very similar in appearance, with a few key differences. As already mentioned, M. birostris are larger, but they are also darker...
