Holy Geekasm! MyMimi over at Etsy has created a retro floppy-disk cushion instantly transforming you back into the 80′s & 90′s! Measuring approximately 7″ tall x 7″ wide x 3″ deep it’s just a whole lotta awesomness & I’m totally buying two when I get my 1st salary from work!

Craig over at Scottish Blogger Dad tagged me in this Internet Meme where you basically have to choose five famous people who find attractive & where it would be deemed OK to cheat on your partner with and not count as two-timing lmao! If you think about it, we all have them, but it’s hard to think of just five!
So here are mine:
1. Henry Cavill. The British Actor best known for playing Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, on The Tudors. His eyes are amazing aaaah *swoon*
2. Juan Martín Hernández. An Argentinan Rugby Player who poses in the Dieux du Stade Calendar. He is hot. Need I say more?! Ladies, I suggest you click on the link! Oh yes!
3. Robin Thicke. Man this boy can sing! His voice is amazing & I could listen to him all night long!
4. Shemar Moore. He plays FBI Special Agent Derek Morgan on Criminal Minds. Once again, what can I say? He’s tall, dark, utterly handsome & has amazing eyes!
5. Last but certainly NOT least, Romain Duris. He’s a French Actor *swoon* who has starred in movies such as Le Divorce, Dans Paris, Molière & Et après. One of my favourite actors EVER, did I mention he’s French?! No? Well… he’s French! Yes, I have a thing for French men LOL
So there you go, the 5 men I am in love with. I have now noticed a certain type I’m attracted to… tall, dark haired stubbly faces with amazing eyes. So what are yours?

I wanted a way to be able to showcase my latest Recipes & Techie Tip posts on the sidebar of my blog for easy reference for my visitors (yes, you guys!) seperating them from the Recent Posts and Archives. So I found a way of using the coding for Recent Posts and adapting it to showcase a specified category ultimately highlighting a set amount of posts, in my case, 5.
Within this code, the “query_posts code” tells WordPress to find the latest set amount of posts within the specified categories, I chose 5 & then runs the code in a loop to display them.
I have then added CSS to stylize the displayed posts using little arrows so it looks nicer than just plain text. The CSS code is within my style.css file and called for within the php code with DIV & LI tags.
This is a handy piece of coding for you to use if you want to showcase posts from several categories like I have. So try it out & let me know what you think!
Note: If you are using widget sidebars, you will need to install the Exec-PHP plugin, then add the code to a text widget, otherwise this will not work. The Exec-PHP let’s you add PHP coding within posts, pages and widgetized sidebars.
And I’m a little bit lost without you
And I’m a bloody big mess inside
And I’m a little bit lost without you
This aint a love song, this is goodbye
I’ve loved this song ever since it came on the radio, not my usual cup of chai but it’s catchy. It’s from the forthcoming album “Everybody Wants to Be on TV” which is released on April 12th.
Now, everytime I listen to it (& it’s basically several times a day!) it reminds me of my friend Phil, who wanted me to blog post the song hehe so this post is for him, to shut him up *hugs*
Ananyah is the alter ego of Michelle, who grew up in Singapore and Kuwait but is technically Scottish even if the accent isn't there! She now divides her time between Glasgow & Paris and could quite happily eat herself to death with macarons à la pistache, cupcakes, diet coke, starbucks & tarte aux fraise <3
Working in the IT Industry, she likes to think of herself as a geekette with a handbag fetish along with being addicted to taking the most random photos, cooking her ass off & drooling over shiny gadgets *swoon*
