Rest and Refreshment

 

Shock horror I did another layout this week for my monthly view. I started the week off farily well but then of course work came along and put alittle bit of a halt on things. Then blogger would not upload any photos so that put an even bigger halt on things.  Maybe it will behave later.

Lynne set the challenge to  "Make rest and refreshment a necessity, not a luxury”

so today I did that.  Yvonne, Louise and Kathi you had best sit down before you go any further because I actually did a layout today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Shock horror, stand back in amazement.

Well here it is.

nothing fantastic, but it is my April view, and the photo is rubbish, rushed to get it on here, some people have no patience!!

Monthly View

 

My monthly view for March, not much different to February's to be honest. Also linking this with Lucky Snapping .  Last months view is here

 

Had a lovely day at the NEC on Sunday, although it was a very long one. Alarms went off at 4am and I got home at 11.15pm!! Think I am still catching up with myself.  The company was good and not too much spent!!!  

Update on the leg, I did a 20min walk this afternoon as instructed to by the physio, prior to seeing him in the morning.  Have to confess to not wanting to walk for any longer, which was not the result I was hoping for :(  Still see what he says tomorrow.

 

Mick and I are off to Bath tomorrow for a few days til Sunday, whilst Amanda goes to Bristol to see her sister and her boyfriend (Amanda's that is).  So looking forward to that.  I have never been to Bath but always wanted to so hoping the weather stays dry for us :) 

Monthly View and POTD.

Late in taking and posting this month's view.  Also linking it with Lucky Snapping View

You can see January's view here

 

 

Plus POTD update which I realise is over due, so will only put a few up otherwise it will become a very long post.

 

28/365 - Our village pub, not a good photo, taken after an awful evening at work :(

 

29/365 - View from my kitchen window,

30/365 - Perranporth, looking down onto the beach this time.

 

31/365 - A street in Truro - they have introduced 30 mins parking bays in areas now which makes life so much easier for quick stops - ie dropping quilt off at launderette.

 

32/365 - Penryn Asda car park, wet and horrid.

33/365 - Front cover of the Asda magazine, didn't go out in the car today.  This will be the closest I get to anything remotely romantic for Valentine's day!!

 

That is all for this post, will update the rest tomorrow. x

Monthly View & Lucky Snapping

Over on Lucky Snapping 2013 this week's theme is the monthly view.  I have been doing a monthly view for a couple of years now, so thought I might as well join in and have started the kitchen window view by mistake really.  I was going to stick with my original view but have found myself taking a couple of photos from the kitchen window recently so thought - why not do this as well!!

So a month late - but who cares, here is January's view - taken on the 29th Jan, raining for a change!!

Taken this morning after the first hail storm, think that is as white as we are going to see it this year!

I haven't taken my other view yet, so will post that during the week.

 

Nothing to do with challenges but Nathalie did a layout of all the books she had read in 2012.  I really like the layout and the idea of it, but it made me realise that I don't read any more, I always use the excuse that if I start then the world has to stop whilst I sink deeper and deeper into the story til I get to the end then life can resume normality!!  My amazing lack of self discipline does not allow me to put the book down literally!!!  Anyway I decided that I really do need to start again having encouraged the girls to read lots and being nicknamed 'bookworm' by my brother as a teenager, and also because I actually enjoy it and miss it. So I searched through the girls books and picked this one out.  I have read a number of Sophie Kinsella's before and enjoy the lightheartedness of them.  It wasn't bad, not the best of her's I have read, times alittle boring and a very predictable ending, but a happy read.  Now to chose my next one.
