Periodically the grass in the park is mowed. But this time a big chunk in the middle was left with just a path carved through it. Looked weird to me, why just leave that bit?

I also met a tree who had many many eyes.



I got to a bench not long after I got to the park and sat down for a bit. Once I reached the other side of the park I rolled down a hill which made me really dizzy. When I stood up again I looked for my camera case and realised I didn't have it with me anymore. I went back the way I came and found it sat on the bench...


Fascinating story, I know. Glad I didn't lose it. Though, if I had, maybe I'd use my camera more as I'd have to hold on to it and not just let it sit in the case in my bag all the time...

Not new years resolutions, as it's not new year, but still resolutions... at a non-specific time of year. Why not?


1: Be outside more.
I like it outside. A lot. Yet I spend an awful lot of time indoors, usually on my computer and I want this to stop. Sitting with my laptop browsing the internet is neither productive nor really that stimulating. Sure I find interesting things now and then, but mostly I just waste time. So, it's getting warmer, I have a pair of functioning legs and a (sort of) functioning bike. I have no excuse.

2: Take more photos.
I always say this. Always always always. It works, for a while. Then I stop again. I bought a little point and shoot camera so I would always have one with me and yet I regularly don't bother to dig in my bag to get to it or some other equally silly reason. I need to stop being that way and just take the shot.

3: Eat more nice food.
Good food is good. Like lots of salads with tasty extras and dressings. Cous cous and pasta. It may sound simple enough but it's not so easy when you have no money.


Usually, it seems, people make resolutions because they feel they 'should'. To be seen as a better person by others. I'm making these ones for me. Because taking photos makes me happy. Being outside makes me happy. Good food makes me happy! I'm making an effort to do things that make me happy. Again, seems simple enough. I make things difficult for myself. Some day maybe I'll stop.

I seriously can't tell you how much I love these girls...

It's done... ?!!?!?!!

Sian is a lot better at this than I am...

I painted my frames yesterday. Ran out of paint just before I finished the last one. Naturally.

There has been some progress today! I have FINALLY started printing, thank god...

AND my business cards arrived. I like moo.com. Bit pricey but they do look good...

Just checked my little point&shoot camera and found this photo of sian from when I went to Cambridge <3 and a couple of little Fievel, I think he's given up freaking out at the flash now as I'm always taking photos of him and Bear...

I put this up yesterday. I really like how it turned out, it's not perfect, just a mock. I need to clean up the neg scan and re-print it all the right size (this one's missing the bottom row so it's composition isn't right which is a little annoying). Going to wallpaper paste the final one to a wall. I hope I can get the wall I want and put my framed photos opposite. We shall see...
