holiday time...

Tonight I'm heading off on holiday for just under two weeks with family... It's to a special place we go every year, the place where the sunsets and stars seem so much more magical, probably because there's a lot less light pollution etc. out to sea. But the salt air clears everything, I get a (fairly) good night's sleep and actually manage to get things done with a little more motivation.

I thought I'd share with you my extra essentials to take away with me (i.e. the essentials aside from clothes, food and toiletries!) So without further ado...

Electronics:

iPod: because I spent three days sorting it out and a day without music, is a day wasted.

Cameras: I have two cameras, a compact one and a bridge camera. 

Nintendo DS: What else am I going to play Sims, Super Mario and Lego Harry Potter on? 

Macbook Pro: Work doesn't stop just because I'm away from home! 

Batteries: Re-chargable AAs and my smaller camera batteries. 

Chargers: Cameras, Games, Laptop, iPhone, iPod... 

Headphones: I live by my Sony headphones at the minute, comfy and good sound quality. 

Memory Storage: SD Cards and memory sticks... 

Notebooks:

One Day At A Time Plans

One Day At A Time Blog Drafts

Music In Time Drafts

Music to listen to and review for MIT

Small Ideas

DVDs:

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire: Because my step dad needs to watch it and who doesn't love THG?

Hot Fuzz: again because my step dad needs to watch it, and we've watch Shaun of the Dead a million times. 

The Rise of the Planet of the Apes: because I got it for £2.99 and love the film. 

Books: (not exactly the lightest books?!)

The Reason I Jump: In the hope I may understand autism a little more after reading. 

After Aushwitz: I have a weird obsession with WWII and the Holocaust so is an interesting read. 

Time Fillers (Other Stuff):

Sudoku: gotta keep the brain in tip top condition. 

Mini Doodle: to help with creativity blocks.

Pencil Case: filled with colourful things to aid with creative stuffs.

So there we go! Might not be very interesting and if you want to know more about the cameras, music on my iPod, books/films etc. let me know - it might give me a reason to do another blog on something! 

Also, if you've read my tattoo blog, you'll know half of it was inspired by Sleeping At Last's song 'Saturn', well I did a feature (interview and review) with him for Music In Time (that other blog I do) and if you're interested in reading more about him and his music click here.
