7 days of searching

Curse the iPhone and all its wonderous techie delights. Where I used to delight in spending hours puzzling over problems like where I'd seen an actor before, or who so-and-so used to be married to, now I just Google it.

My husband (a BlackBerry devotee - zzzzzz) takes the piss out of me constantly about it, but I like answers - and quick, damnit. I may have to stop before my memory is as shot as my hearing seems to be (too many raves, too few earplugs, but no regrets). For now though, I thought you voyeurs might like an insight into what I've been searching this week...

• Shepard Fairey (although I spelled it Shepherd. Not cool. Trying to find out whether he was doing an exhibition in London. We went to a gallery showing loads of his work when we were on honeymoon in New York last year)
  
  
  
  
• PJ by Peter Jensen horse jumper (as showcased by Jess Cartner Morley in her How To Wear... Guardian column *swoon*. That swoon was for the jumper btw, not JCM.) I've got a birthday coming up. And have emailed the link to Mr Haines.
• Shavata (got an amazing - free - eyebrow threading session from a Shavata brow specialist at work and wanted to know how much my new habit would cost and where I would have to go for it. Might be an idea to stop hiding these bad boys under my fringe now)
• Southwark Irish Festival (under the banner of what the hell is all that noise coming from Peckham Rye Park?)
• Bikes, bike, bikes, bikes, bikes (I have an ace bike, but I want another one. A girly one, a dutch one, one with a basket, that I can ride in a skirt and not feel that I have to power past everyone in my way. That last bit is going to be hard to change)
• Cakes! (banana cake, lemon curd cake, apple cake, chocolate cake, victoria sponge - looking for new recipes)
• Tequila (not the drink, a quirky short film by my ace film-maker friend Jon. Watch it here)
• Vintage plate hire (I was asked to hire out some of my beautiful vintage crockery for a local party so I wanted to get an idea of prices and do the woman a good deal. She seemed nice)
• Southwark Lido (I see signs for it all the time as I work around the corner so wanted to see if it was a viable swimming option. it's not. I think it was an art project or something. I couldn't figure out whether it was there this year or not. Based on that, I'm guessing not)
• The conversion of 112 kilos into stone (so my husband can work out how much he weighs, and how much he needs to lose. He needs to drop to 84, in case you're wondering)
• Calories in a croissant vs calories in a chocolate croissant (180 vs 380, fact fans. This was linked to the weight loss discussion and me telling him why he should step away from the pain au chocolat)
