Day 44/365

Every couple weeks I've been doing the creche during the Ladies Bible Study at Church on a Wednesday morning. Usually there's only 2 or 3 kiddies, but today, because the schools were on holiday, there was 10! But it wasn't a big deal because they're all super well behaved children, and there were a few Nintendo DS consoles to keep their attention for a while!

I took this photo before the other 2 arrived, yes I can count; Luke, the littlest, was over beside the toy kitchen. Continuously opening and closing a cupboard door is WAY more fun than Super Mario Land.

Yesterday's blog post is late because last night I took Cassia and Noah down to Glasgow for the evening, and we got back pretty late...we would've got back a little earlier if I hadn't decided to drive towards Edinburgh instead of Aberdeen when we started heading home, but only a little earlier, and who doesn't love a little detour through the countryside?!

Although Noah came to Scotland to see Cassia, he also totally came to see a Football match! Not just any football match; his team, playing against Celtic in one of the roughest parts of Glasgow. Good times! We were a little hesitant about how the night would go...and there are so many reasons for that, be we won't get in to them right now, and the amazing thing is, the night was perfect! I don't think it could have been any better. Maybe if I hadn't driven along the M8 instead of the M80, but whatever, I enjoyed our extended singalong!

Anyway, while Noah was enjoying watching his team kick butt, just metres away from the pitch, Cassia and I enjoyed dinner, chat, and bopping to good music in our seats, in the centre of Glasgow :) Before we headed back to the car to drive back to the stadium, past 60,000 gutted Celtic fans, I snapped a wee photo of Cassia underneath the net of lights beside the Art Museum. I love those lights! Maybe one day I'll photograph an Engagement shoot there :)

 I thought I'd embrace my girly side and go a bit love heart crazy for Bench Monday this week seeing as it's Valentines Day in a few days. I love doing a fun set up for a shoot!

Whether you're being treated to a special night out by your boyfriend/girlfriend, or you're not doing anything, cause really it's just another day, I hope you all have a great week! I personally will be spending the evening with my boyfriend, Bruce Willis :)

Happy Bench Monday!

It's quite handy having an IT genius around the house to solve my Internet issues...turns out he's the reason it wasn't working though! I snapped this quickly while he pushed a few buttons and explained to me what it was he'd done to our Internet while I was away to make it work better...I can't remember now though. I think it's quite a nice profile shot.

That's me caught up on the last 10 days, so I can now go to bed!

After rounding up our final committee meeting for the Free Church Youth Conference in Glasgow on Saturday morning, I was originally going to be spending the afternoon celebrating my Granny's 80th Birthday with the rest of the Berry side of the family. However, sadly, my Granny had a bad fall last Wednesday night, thankfully not breaking any bones but she's pretty shaken up, and has been in hospital since. She knocked one of her front teeth out, and chipped another, so I suggested she could get a gold replacement...it was good to see her usual self coming through as she jokingly looked tempted by the idea!

I can't say I was filled with happiness as we walked down this rather long and depressing corridor in the hospital on Saturday trying to find the way out after visiting. Hopefully Granny will be getting home tomorrow, and we'll all be together again in a few weeks time to celebrate her 80th :)

I may have been a little gutted to be away from the island, but it was nice to get back to friends in Aberdeen. I spent Friday night having lots of laughs in great company, with crackers and cheese, and a delicious cocktail of sparkling water and Fruit & Barley! It was good to be home :)

*Warning: Cheese gives you nightmares.**

I must confess I wasn't thrilled to be leaving the island on Thursday. I loved having the house to myself for the week, seeing the sea out the window, and just being on the island in general. What made everything a little bit better was being third off the ferry when we reached Ullapool!!! So.Exciting. Usually I'm stuck behind a convoy of traffic for an hour, hoping that there aren't any cars coming on the long stretches of road so I can slowly make my way to the front of the convoy, and because of that I planned to get fish n' chips in Ullapool before heading off, that way I'd hopefully have an open road ahead. But then I realised I was going to be THIRD.OFF.THE.FERRY. Overtaking an estate and an oil tanker would be easy.

I didn't get fish n' chips until I reached home 3 hours later, instead I finished the remains of a tub of pringles and got a bottle of water and a Wispa when I refuelled in Inverness (you can see in the photo I was running pretty low...).

P.S. This photo is also HDR, looks alright apart from the flames coming out the back of the estate.
