I'm thrilled that it's almost the middle of February as my life has been on hold waiting for an operation since the beginning of the year. Of course, winter hit a Siberian-vengance this week, with the snow overnight coating even the sea. The Girls were in snow-angel heaven. I was snuggling in front of a warm fire and DH was doing all the cooking to keep us warm. Nevertheless we weren't snowed in, so were able, as is our regular wont, to see … [Read more...]
Project 366 week 5
Crikey it's been cold this week. And yet Sunday was wet, wet, wet. We opted to stay inside until there was a break in the clouds: I'm looking forward to both The Girls having scooters because they do nothing but fight over LBG's one. Monday dawned bright, clear and cold. There was a hint of snow in the air, so it was a good thing that the builders are off on Jury … [Read more...]
Me right now
You have no idea how hard it is to take a photo of a life-sized drawing of yourself with your smart phone, whilst also trying to get yourself into the photograph too. So I gave up, and took this instead: It looks reasonably like me: note the bags under the eyes, which are permanently tired due to a combination of the-cough-that-will-never-go-away and the-child-that-sucks-at-sleeping. And pinterest addiction. I'm wearing my LONDON, England … [Read more...]
Project 366 Week 4
On Sunday we had a lovely day with family: the cousins are at the age where they are finally starting to play as a group, meaning less input from parents. And therefore more chance of us having a complete conversation. We had a great time making marble runs with pipe lagging (an idea I got from pinterest) and playing in the park. On Monday we spent time with Granny M, and made splatter paint Haggises, then on Tuesday the builders arrived with the … [Read more...]
Project 366 Week 3
Sunday, as ever, was a day of beach walks and packing up to come back to London. This weekend ended slightly earlier as LG had yet another birthday party to attend. On Monday night we had dinner with old friends/employers in Wimbledon and didn't get home until 1am, which meant that I have been struggling to keep up ever since. Then Tuesday … [Read more...]
Project 366: week 2
It's the first full week back to work and school so it's been rather busy. I'm finding it hard work getting going in the morning, and I'm not the only one. But we've been booking house exchanges for later in the year so we have lots to look forward to. The work has started on the first part of our build: skip number three is in the driveway and we hope to have foundations laid in the early part of the coming week. It's astonishing to think that … [Read more...]
Puppy Love
This week's Gallery prompt is phone photos. I like snapping things with my phone so this suited me. I have also just downloaded a new app to my phone so that I can edit it, which has given me some wonderful results. Here's the very first one I did: Editing has really added something both to the photos I have taken and the photos I want to take. I love that you can focus on a … [Read more...]
