As you may remember, I had the cold a few weeks back, along with several other family members and friends, and have had a cough ever since, which is going away gradually now, but for a couple weeks it was pretty much ruining my appetite...which had a positive effect on the scales, and I ended up losing half a stone in weight. Can't complain. It's probably all piled back on now as this morning I had a sausage roll for breakfast, and then there were mini hotdogs needing eaten at home so I had them for my lunch...and I've got a tub full of cookies needing eaten now too after doing some baking yesterday. Oh well...there's still room for cake, that'll never change.

Tuesday was a beautiful day :) I nipped along to Loch Skene at sunset hoping to get a nice photo for the blog and was very happy to see people out sailing! It was a really lovely evening for it so I was quite jealous. I could also hear children cheering in excitement in the distance, and when I looked over I saw a group of people on a wee speed boat, spinning about and bumping over the wake, they were having a great time! It was a nice end to a good day :)

 This is my first ever Candlelit Bench Monday...looks like I've gone out exploring the wilderness...in my cranberry trousers and pink brogues...but it's just the back garden. I hadn't got round to doing a Bench Monday photo, after spending the day at my computer and then meeting one of my 2014 couples for coffee in the evening, so I grabbed a bunch of tea lights from our cupboard, laid them out on the stones and cranked up my ISO. Otherwise I would have had to stand still for a minute or two to get a bright enough exposure...and my balance isn't that good when I'm bending over on the edge of a bench...

Can you believe this little girly is 6 months old now?! It's crazy. And what's even more crazy is that I didn't see her for a whole month! So when I saw her this past weekend she looked extra big, chubby, and beautiful :) I couldn't resist taking a few photos of her in the adorable baby tutu I have. Look at her sitting up by herself...she's getting so big!

Fin LOVES to help with the baking! All because he knows what goodies come from it :) Here he is helping Mum with her pavlova *must be said in Australian accent* for the WFM Fundraiser night at Church on Saturday. He spent a good 15 minutes licking the whisk, making sure he got all the sugary goodness his wee tongue/cheek/nose/finger could reach. When he was finished I do believe he said "I want bowl"...but his Auntie had beat him to that one. My bad.

 Just me...chillin' with the boats, pretending I'm part of the sailor posse.

I had a nice wee trip up to Nairn today for an Engagement Shoot in the afternoon and then headed back to Aberdeen for a Bad Taste Photography Night with our Teens at Church. A poor effort by some for their Bad Taste outfits, but others made up for it. I had hoped to get to a charity shop for some hideous attire at some point in the week but unfortunately didn't get the chance, so instead I wore garments from my own wardrobe...floral trousers matched beautifully with a moustache print jumper...there were accessories also, but when I saw the Teens hadn't pushed the boat out, I gave the accessories a miss.

I spent part of Thursday night making a few felt props with a friend for future Photobooth banter...so much fun! I am seriously in love with the leopard print glasses, I wish I had a real pair.
