Day 188: Overdue Cuppa

This morning I visited Emma and had a long overdue cuppa and a catch up, and as usual, ended up staying longer than planned! But, when I did get home, a few hours later, I got a lot of work done! So it's been a very wonderful, and productive day all in all. I'm pleased! And I've left this blog post very late, due to all my focus and hard work on clients photos, so am now in that rambling, and talking nonsense state of mind...

...I'm waiting for photos to upload on to my business page, and because I've selected the higher quality option, it's taking forever! I'm tempted to put on an episode of 24 season 6 (which I've managed to set aside for a couple months!!) while I wait. Might be a bad idea...oh well, hello Jack Bauer!

Day 187: Food Colouring Banter

I've always wanted to try this, and since the BBC failed to provide me with the thunder and lightning I was looking forward to this evening, I decided to give it a go! It really is fun! Maybe I'll go buy a massive fish tank, and try creating a colourful masterpiece...I wonder if I could create a cupcake shape? Highly unlikely! Unless...a straw might do the job...or Photoshop.

Day 186: Joanne's Graduation!

This afternoon I went to photograph my friend Joanne after her graduation ceremony at the fabulous Kings College...
Congratulations girly!! I love all the photos from this afternoon :) Hopefully you'll be seeing them soon...perhaps I'll even post a few more on the Facebook page tonight...oooh. Hope you had a lovely afternoon!

P.S. You're rockin that gown!

Day 185: Lazy Bench Monday

Technically, it's not been a Lazy Bench Monday at all! I got home at 7pm, having left work at 5, gone off hunting for the Bench Monday photo I had visualised in my head this afternoon, and failed to get it, or the one I thought of while driving home. I did take a couple attempts, but they were boring. I had visions of a bench in a nice woodland area with the sun streaming down...but sadly the woodlands that I went to, had no benches!! Fail. What's with that. And then I thought I'd try the bench on the walk out to Skene from Westhill...and realised that there might be cows in the field behind it, and if they came over to say hello, that would be an amazing photo! But, sadly, the cows were havin none of it.

So, when I got home, I decided to throw on my joggers and see if Mumsy wanted to watch The Proposal with me. But, I then got the urge to tidy up the masses of clothes I have thrown around my room, from my various outings this past couple weeks...ha. And also do some washing while the machine was free! And then I thought I'd throw all my evenings antics together and do my Bench Monday photo on my faithful bench in the back garden.

Good story, huh!

I actually quite like the photo. I used one of Dad's amazing old cameras to show that I have been taking photos this evening...yeup. And there is in fact another basket of washing out of shot...it looked a bit much having both of them in view...Ha. Ok, so, I've done enough talking! Toodles.

Day 184: Two Cities, Two Beaches, In One Day!

I cannot believe how hot it was today!! 23 degrees according to JD as we were finishing up our fun afternoon in the sunshine at Broughty Ferry. It was absolutely gorgeous, despite the masses of people EVERYWHERE.  And it was lovely getting to spend some time with my oldest bestest babe.

I got back from Dundee shortly after 9 o'clock, and received a phone call a while later asking if I fancied a wee trip to Aberdeen beach...I couldn't say no! Ha. Despite having to be at work for 8:30 tomorrow/this morning...and that is the reason I'm up so late doing today's/yesterday's blog post...and probably talking a heap of rubbish. I'm going now.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! I certainly did!

Day 183: Party Time Again!

The die hard fans of the blog will remember me photographing Emma MacLelland's birthday party back in January. Well, now it's her little sister's turn! I photographed Kate and her friends at Pirate Crazy Golf morning, and thankfully they had beautiful weather for the occasion! There was a lot of fun and laughter, along with many many putter swings. Haha. It was a lovely morning!

And now, I'm in the slightly less fun and laughter filled place...known as Dundee. Ha.

Day 182: An Easy Job

Today was the day that Sarah and Dave completed the move out of their flat in Banchory, and now they're off on holiday for a few weeks, before getting the keys to their new house, on FINLAY'S 1st Birthday!! Anyway, on arrival at their flat this morning I saw Fin asleep on the big bed, then asked Sarah if she wanted me to help load stuff in to the car.
"Nope, go watch Finlay, and make sure he doesn't roll off the bed or something..." she replied.
I sure didn't need much persuasion!

Fin's been on the blog a lot this week, but he won't be in at all next week, until we're reunited again next Saturday at the Lakes :)

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
