 My trip to Lewis was postponed a day due to this crazy weather, so I ended up running some errands instead. All very boring stuff, involving a tour round Aberdeen in the car to various places, and each time I stepped out the car I wished I had a bobble as my hair was flapping about in far too many different directions.

When I got home I wanted to do something exciting for today's blog photo! I thought about doing something outside, incorporating the wild wind...but when I looked out in to our rather lifeless garden and heard the wind battering the house, I didn't really fancy going outside again! Then I remembered the bag of confetti I found in the cupboard the other day and decided to finally give this shot a go :) It's quite difficult trying to look normal whilst also blowing a handful of confetti at exactly the right time. I took a lot of photos...so I'm very thankful the counter top in the kitchen caught *most* of the confetti every time!

I was out in Banchory tonight for Sarah's Birthday celebrations. A meal, made by Sarah, and a cake...made by Sarah...stood on by Finlay. Heh heh heh. It still tasted delicious! I may have had two slices... Elsie doesn't look very impressed with it, but give it time, she doesn't know what she's missing yet. We'll be out on Auntie and Niece Tea and Cake trips in no time!

The party was clearly too much for Ali, who had a wee nap on the sofa (the fact that he'd stayed up till 5am the night before might have had something to do with it...) while Fin snuggled up beside him and we watched The Lorax. It's cute to see him staring at Ali in awe and copying the way he sits on the sofa n' stuff like that.

Anywho, Happy Birthday, Sarah :) Hope you had a lovely day! Thanks for making us dinner and cake...when I'm back from Lewis I'll make you dinner and cake :)

(I'm hoping this crazy wind dies down so that I do actually get over to Lewis tomorrow...)

It's horribly wet, and dull, and windy, and cold, and wet...and windy, outside today, so Bench Monday took place indoors, with the comforts of warmth, dryness, light and tea :)

I'm off up to Lewis on Wednesday for a couple Engagement Shoots...I'm really hoping the weather's not gonna be like this when I'm there...but I won't get my hopes up too much.

Happy Bench Monday!

My nephew is cute. Nuff said.

Hope you've all had a great weekend! :)

Day 26/365

I have no idea why, when I spent several hours this morning looking after my beautiful niece, you're getting a photo of a haggis, instead of Elsie!

I know Robert Burns day was yesterday, but the young loons n' lassies from Church had our wee celebrations tonight instead! Along with my two beautiful assistants, I cooked the classic Scottish feast that is haggis, neeps and tatties. As well as a delicious chicken pasta bake for myself and a couple of the other girls to eat instead of sheep's lungs. Despite being a wee bitty late, and burning my arm, it was quite a successful night :) I even tried a bit of the haggis and didn't think it was too bad!

Thank you to Cassia for your fine chopping skills! And Megan for your yummy sticky toffee pudding :) And everyone who came, for eating the food!

Day 25/365

Finlay's here for a sleepover :) Which means total distraction from work! First, he hijacks my laptop...but he's cute, so what can you do? Then, when it's bath time, that clearly means time to jump on Trina's bed! But he's cute, so what can you do? :)

I love how utterly different his facial expressions are in each photo..."Oh, hey camera, again..." and "I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN RIGHT NOW!! AHAHAHA!!" :) Love.

Day 24/365

So I saw this on Pinterest a few days ago and wanted to give it a go. One of those things that would be FAR easier if I had someone else to pose in the photo. But I like a challenge! Haha. And I just love to show off my beautifully professional ballet skills...apologies to any actual dancers looking at this. 

*Several tulips were beheaded in the making of this photo...they were almost dead anyway, so it's all good!*

Oh! I'm trying out a new logo, what do you think?
