ten on tuesday 8th May 2012

1) Okay this is getting scary now, I swear it hasnt been -CANT have been!  a week since last tuesday. LOL 
Altho to be fair, there was a bank holiday Monday and I did lose a whole sunday in there somewhere due to sleeping off a very late saturday night. Yeah, that'll be it. Lets go with partying too hard  over getting so old all the days fly by as a reason ;) :) 

2) I found a fab new quirky photoshoot location today. Currently I am after new urban grungy locations. So believe me I am wondering about the strangest places lately. Got to be urban, got to be grungy, but best if it isn't actually trespassing when I'm there, and best if the client wont freak out by HOW grungy it is :) This one ticks lots of boxes. I'm a bit excited. Worryingly excited over urban cement walls and curvy cornered buildings... LOL

3) I love how my life is split into type of chat. :) there is the good friends chat about everything generally and any concerns specifically. {Love those chats, always come away feeling like I have a ton of support behind me, to do anything!} There is the 'tog chat. Speaking to other photographers, - nice ones, who talk as if the entire world of photography is equal, talking about funny things only other photographers would laugh at. Its awesome. Photo walks and conversations about light. ah bliss :) There is the online chat, back and forth via text or online messages. That is always good fun, and I enjoy it so much. There is me as mummy chat, which is ah... always interesting, assuming we can get past the 'will you hurry up/put that down/eat something!!' part ;) There is lots of lovely chats in my daily life. I like it. And I think this means I do indeed, as all my school reports used to say, like talking too much!!

4) Did you realise I am part of this? the all new Your Kids thro the lens
 I'm a contributing guest writer and photographer :) If you have kids, and want to work your camera better to capture them - this is what you need :) yey!

5) The messaging app 'Whatsapp' went down today for a few hours. There was quite  few of us lost there, without it,  for a while... LOL how dependant ARE we on technology?!

6) Today I spent a little time with Harvey. He's a bit mad, a bit hairy and has pretty terrible breath ;)
Of course he is totally gorgeous too!

I took his photo earlier this year in his very own pet shoot. He's about ten foot high, but the softest dog in the world. love him!

7) I attempted to fix a 'small bit of plastering' that was coming away from the wall behind a "wall fixed" radiator cover. The wall fixed radiator cover is leaning, not wall fixed at all.  Well thats a lie, I meant to attempt it. Until further investigation showed its not a 'small bit of plastering' at all, its the entire wall crumbling back to brick dust and horsehair {- which is seriously what my house is made of. Its old} Sooooo, I left it. But hey. it all adds to the shabby chic charm right? - don't lean on anything if you call round ;) hahaha..

8) Teenager. free to good home... happy chatty to extreme shouting in 0 to 60. Comes with no instructions. 

9) My tonsils are obviously feeling left out and in need of some attention. That would be why they have been fine all day and are now twice their original size.... :(

10) I made the world worst loaf of bread today. Gluten free - that's not usually indicative of good soft bread to start with, and from a packet mix - yeah, that should have put me off too. But it didn't, because I desperately wanted Miss Mollie to have a fresh soft crusty loaf to eat.... never mind. Lets go back to cake making. I'm fairly sure she'd rather have cake anyway...

until next week.... ;)

Hope the tonsils go back to normal size quick! I don't know how my mom made it through our teenage years without throttling us, she says we're just lucky we're funny... :) I can't believe we're halfway through the week already!
