Silhouette.

Oh a good old fashioned prompt to take a photo of something random. I have just read Anne’s post and I agree with it getting harder in some ways. I also like to take a photo on the day and I think maybe I haven’t on a handful of occasions.

So I have had a whizzer of a day, has just flown by and I have done so much work it felt like two days. I didn’t finish until 7 and the weather, well I have got your rain, so whoever has my sunshine i’d quite like it back

The the road was closed due to an accident, so i took some country lanes half way across north devon to get round it. It was a lovely drive if a bit annoying to take me even longer to get home! I drove through the windmills that we have scattered around in that area and they looked great in the mist. The photo doesn’t really capture it very well.

 

You can just see some more of them there as well.

Right onwards, it is Simon Schama’s Shakespeare in a minute.

Free Choice: Beach.

Apologies in advance for those of you that have had or are having the torrential rain. It was wierdly lovely here, sea mist rolling in and out all morning, a dash of raindrops then clear blue skies, eventually clearing this afternoon so Ali and I hoofed it down to the beach after dinner.

Clouds were rolling in by the end so it could be rain in a minute. I am sure it would have made a fantastic sunset but the boy needed his bed.

I’ll leave you with these.

Goodnight xx

Weathered.

Our seats are beyond weathered now. They are very comfy but not so attractive now. For the last 3 years we have said we need to replace them

Wow busy few days, so glad to be on a day off tomorrow

This morning I was gone by 6am so I could leave early to collect Ali from his new school as he has been on transition day today. They did a display for us, which was a bit odd, his class sang a strange song about penguins lol. Anyway they were enjoying it which was the main thing.

We were so hot and he was so disappointed to miss swimming on Sunday as I felt his chest wasn’t quite back to normal. When I say disappointed I mean tantrum, shouting at me and being a very cross little boy He calmed down and apologised pretty quickly so it was ok and we agreed we would try and go today. It was bliss as the pool was empty as all sensible people had gone in the free sea over the road. But we really felt like a swim in the pool. Maybe the beach tomorrow. As soon as we got home it was dinner and then I just had to have a little snooze

Still Life.

No imagination tonight so you get my dinner again. Tonight it's Eton Mess with a gourmet twist-I sprinkled over a crushed ginger biscuit. I know, I totally know how to rock it!
So still life, a fruit bowl with extras!!

Sizzling.

Sizzling stir fry!
Ali is a bit clingy tonight so we are curled up watching tv. Apologies if you come by and I haven't been to you. I'm blogging this from the phone and I doubt I will get to the laptop, I'll catch up in the morning.

Pleasure.

A pleasure to have this prompt on a beautiful June day that does not include work

A lie-in for an hour, then working on project life for a few hours, then ironing,  although watching Simon Schama’s Shakespeare at the same time was brilliant. I love that man.

Oh and before I forget, Jo’s Kermit was in The Muppets that Ali and I watched this morning during project life scrapping. Oh I had forgotten how much I love them all, not just Kermit.

Kermit for Jo Fozzie, I loved him, such a gentle goof…and Animal, I found him a little bit anarchic and scary (gawd I was so square) but when he hit those drums I was so happy. M’ner ne ner ner, Mnem enem, Mnem, mnemenem. Something like that anyway

Ali and I went to the posh park this afternoon. We have a park next to us which has a swing set and a roundabout so not very inspiring for a long visit. So we went to the posh park. It is beautiful. Bicclescombe it is called, I must find out why. Combe means valley and it is at the bottom of a valley, but no idea where the Biccles came from. It has tennis courts, a playground, a small lake and lovely stream with great landscaping.

Came home, made dinner (tricky spaghetti bolognese!), had a 20 minute power nap and then scrapped the weekly challenge for UKS for points.

A photo of me when I was about 18 months with my cousins.

Then watched the footie until kick-off, can’t bear watching it live anymore and now Louis and I are watching a movie until bed.

Pleasure indeed. Oh and only 8 weeks until I go part-time (with a 10 day holiday in there too).

Nature.

It is in the nature of things that when a woman was too tired to stay up past eight o' clock; then she would also need a lie in to catch up with some of her favourite bloggers :)
