Showing off, mostly for my family's benefit. Here's the new dress I bought on Saturday from New Look, for the bargain price of £3. It's quite short. On Sunday I was feeling brave and wore it with tights and boots. Today, I'm wearing it over trousers (also bargainous but charity shopped). Ooh and the necklace is a charity shop find too.It's being intermittently warm and springlike today. I took advantage of a sunny spell at lunchtime to go and look for crocuses along the backs. Outside Trinity's back gate, I found a carpet of lilac shimmering beneath the trees.
That's how I feel at the moment. Yesterday was the first evening this week where I was in and had no-one coming round. Not that those things aren't good, but it has been a busy week. I enjoyed myself, made experimental pudding (pearl barley, milk and nuts, rice pudding with barley instead of rice, basically) did some reading and started making notes for an essay. But tonight I'm out again and the weekend holds lots of busyness and every spare moment needs to be taken up with essay-writing. I like writing, but I could do with a little more sleep.
This photo is from last summer and it's a reminder that sometimes you need to take a moment to sit and relax and talk to God. Shoes off = I'm not going anywhere right now and I'm listening.
We had fun last night. Lots of food, lots of chat, watched Monsters, Inc (Why have I never seen it before? It's lovely!).
Valentines photo set
The only camera I had on my way to work was my phone. I saw the little wooden horse looking all snowy and had to take his picture. I was surprised how well it came out.
It's back and it means it this time.
We were promised snow and snow we got. A few inches, I think and it's still coming down. I cycled in rather gingerly this morning.
Two of my favourite things to photograph - giant public sculpture and philosophical grafitti.
This one's in Brighton, near the pier (the one that has stuff on, rather than the one that's slowly falling into the sea.)
I took this at David and Zoe's wedding last July, while waiting around for official photographs.
I like the simplicity of the stone and inscription. It seemed fitting.
Wow, a grumpy day when I almost decide to give up blogging and then suddenly, four posts in one day.
Home time soon. I shall leave you with this friendly cow.
I love this photo. It's the combination of the angle and the expression on the cat's face.
More photos from last year's Scottish holiday are on my flickr.
The food I cooked last night looked so good, I had to take its picture.
It tasted delicious too.
