Swans are white, but are they really ?


Question Mark ring , Topshop, £5

My bank balance hates when I set foot in Topshop.

Got a ballot paper through to vote on the plans for Aberdeen's Union Terrace Gardens and I really cannot decided. A friend was telling me everyone she knew thought the new regeneration plan was amazing because it will bring money to the city however I am unsure how exactly it will make the return of £1.32 every year for ever £1 spent. I have always been a supporter of I <3 UTG  as the gardens are lovely places when it is sunny but the number of days where it is actually warm enough to chill out in the park are few and far between so I can see why they are looking to regenerate it although I am highly sceptical that the 140million needed will materialise in full.






On the left are the current gardens and on the right is an artists impression of the winning design for the new gardens. For a city that has alot of historic buildings I do feel the futuristic design will potentially look like an eyesore.

Lomo

Often when I crack out my beloved Lomography Diana F+ camera it raises a few eyebrows. My nine year old cousin is adamant it's a toy as he finds film cameras incomprehensible, blows his wee mind. I enjoy taking a break from digital cameras and going back the unreliability of film. There is no deleting and retaking the picture with Diana, and there is most certainly no Instagram!
