102 -Holi festival


Holi festival is the first on my personal bucket list (not in order pf importance) Holi is a Hindu festival celebrated on a full moon in Feb / March. Everyone loves a full moon. Its also known as the festival of colours and you will see why.

Anyway, I haven't quiye accomplished this as I haven't been to India, that's still on the list, I can half tick it off though as I went to Holi One festival in London. Surprisingly we had good weather  too.


Holi is all about throwing paint - in this set up, once each hour everyone would get together and throw their powder paint at the same time. Having laughed at the goggles and face masks, Holi had its revenge on me by half blinding and choking me with powder. It is pretty awesome to be under a cloud of paint though.  There were djs and dance acts, all cool. After a while people realised that mixing the powder paint with beer or water would make it stick better so colourful liquids were soon flying through the air. It got repetitive after a few hours but I'd still definitely recommend it. I hope to go to one of the European Holi festivals next year.

When I got home a tonne of powder that wasn't there before spilled all over the floor. I'm still finding paint the next day!


Before and after


Clean!

84 - Sell all Your Junk on eBay and Make a Profit

Well, not sure about profit, does that mean sell it for more than I bought it? Anyway, I've always sold lots of junk on ebay and now that I need some money I am having a clearout.


Ebay doesn't seem to be as good as it was, this morning I sold a Nintendo Wii and all its bits on Gumtree. I am also selling other bits and pieces. Strangely even that kind of put me out of my comfort zone,having a stranger turn up outside my side to buy something from me. Naturally paranoid I was imagining him giving me fake money or grabbing the items and running. As it turns out he was a super polite Muslim man and its Ramadhan so that lessens the chance of wrong being done to me. :D 

Selling at a car boot sale I think I neglected to put on the list, I will add it now, that was supposed to be on the list and I am going on Sunday and I am going to find some trash to sell :D

Meanwhile, take a look at my Etsy shop, this stuff isn't junk!
