Tell me why I don’t like Mondays?

17 Jan

Biblical rain, boyfriend lost my hat yesterday, hair is now curly, man-made boots are sodden, buses are shafted, monthly travel card ten quid more expensive than last month and I see no improvement to the service, trod in a pulped pile of Metro newspapers outside Old Street station, right foot now saturated more than left, giant spider hanging on stairwell ceiling at work made me shriek, upgrading my phone took 40 minutes (how many more times do I have to tell people that ‘s.i.o.b.h.a.n’ says ‘shivorn’?), new phone can’t be delivered to my office because it’s a band 6 (WTF?), customer service leaving a note for the delivery driver to deliver it to my house after 7pm, but they can’t be certain delivery driver will read the note, I have been given two numbers to call in case I don’t receive my shiny new Nexus.

Shit happens I guess.

It’s only 11.05am.

Picture Perfect? Again, please!

So this is how Greece looked, pretty stunning and a bit of a snapshot of my recent holiday:

But take a closer look at this picture, yes, I took this and think I have a future as a live action/sports photographer!

10/10 for technique.

Although, the best things in life are about preparation and here’s one of a zillion I took earlier:

One of many "opps, missed it, can you dive again?"

Has she had some work done?

My jaw dropped this morning when I came face to face with the Cadbury’s Bunny 2.0.

I don’t remember those pins for starters…

Will scatter cushions really sell chocolate?

Who exactly is the audience here?

Yowzers.

Yowzers.

Whilst I do remember the Cadbury’s Caramel bunny always being… kind of cute and pretty (as bunnies go)  – it’s fair to say that she is clearly getting hotter with age.

Not a grey hair in sight (Oh, so many ‘hare’ jokes, too little time).

I wonder how many chunks of Cadbury’s Caramel she consumes these days?

I reckon she’s all about the gym and carrot juice personally.

Has Mr Beaver held up so well I wonder…?

Aesthetically pleasing “Oooo” things from 2008

1 Feb

I love taking pics of the great outdoors and 2008 for me, was  mostly the year of the East Anglian coast, the Devonshire countryside, Barcelona and Taormina – with a peppering of London in there too.

Here are some of my favourite shots from 2008, and revisiting these has made me start to think about where I want to go in 2009!

Really chuffed with the comment below, so here are bigger versions of both of those photos:

This was the day before epic snow fall, freezing cold North Norfolk.

This second picture made me feel slightly queasy actually! From a certain angle the London Eye looks as if it is about to tumble over:

The London Eye falling over.

Spooky.
