This week is going to be exciting :D

On Tuesday I’m traveling up to Newcastle to view some apartments, as I’ll hopefully be moving there in August. I’ve been looking online for some 1 bedroom apartments which are available to rent, and I found a few which I’ve arranged to have a look at.

The apartments I’ve been looking at are all right next to the Quayside, which is a really pretty part of Newcastle. The whole Quayside area has been regenerated in recent years, and it looks lush now ^_^

If I manage to rent one of these apartments then I’ll be a stones throw from the millenium bridge, the sage music venue, and the baltic museum, as well as being a few minutes walk from the city centre where all the shops, bars, restaurants, train station, etc are.

It might be a bit of a struggle to afford the rent each month, but I’ve got a few projects in the pipeline for the next few months, as well having money coming in from the t-shirts, so I should be able to afford it. If all else fails I could always freelance as a live nude model… or something ;)

Here are some pictures of one of the apartments I’m going to see:

How amazing would it be to live in a place like that?! ^_^

Then, on Friday I’m traveling down to London for a meeting with the BBC. I’ll hopefully be working on a project with them later in the year, and this meeting will essentially decide whether or not the project gets commissioned, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it goes well. Keep your fingers crossed for me too :P

It’s always fun going down to London; it’s one of my favourite cities to visit. There’s lots of interesting things to see and do there, and even when I’m not doing anything in particular, I just enjoy walking around, taking the underground to different places. It’s fun. Also, I’ll hopefully get to see some of my London peeps while I’m there. Becky, James, Tom… I’m looking in your direction here ^_^ If any of you other London people are free on Friday though, let me know! :D

Oh, I’m also getting a hair cut on Thursday. My hair isn’t particularly long right now, but it’s been super hot the past few days, so I’m thinking summer is officially upon us. And I like having short hair over the summer. It keeps my head nice and cool xD

My fingers are crossed for you.

I agree that the quayside in Newcastle is lovely… good luck with securing an apartment there !

Looks amazing! I hope you’ll that aparment so you can make “tour-videos” from the place :p

They look amazing! The rent must cost a fortune, judging from what I can see!

Keep us updated!

kisses.

Hahah live nude model!

I’m hoping to go to Uni in Newcastle it looks like such an amazing place to live :)

That looks like such a lovely apartment Johnny! You’ll love it there, i can tell, the area is beautiful and the location sounds perfect! I’ve love to live by the water like that.
I feel so bad for people who live in, like, the MidWest of the US and have never seen the ocean before, it makes me so sad! Something about the sea just makes me feel amazing. You know?

and good luck with the BBC!!!

Friday Friday I’ll be free, yes yes yes <33

I live pretty close to newcastle myself (I go to Newcastle College). Living on the quayside should be really good, i hope it all goes well for you! And good luck with the bbc project too.

Holy cow, that is freaking awesome! I hope everything turns out well, J - I’ll be crossing as many fingers as socially acceptable ;)

BTW, with this:
“If any of you other London people are free on Friday though, let me know! :D”
- did you mean the other London people you know, or..? :o

Cookies,
Johanne.

the quayside looks amazing <3 this really makes me wanna visit newcastle now…

These plans sound fantastic! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you that all these things work out. :]

Live nude model eh?

I got my pencil! I’m ready to draw ;)

Good luck with everything hun.

The BBC project sounds fun. I hope you are going to keep us updated!

The Quayside at Newcastle is beautiful and in such an awesome location. I am up in Newcastle all the time, and I wouldn’t mind living there once I have finished uni next year! You will have to give us a video tour of the new place if you get one of the lovely apartments!
