Without giving too much away..... (T-minus 11days)

I Give Up!!

Just so you know! I do!!

I give up on august break! Not because it's not a great Idea, but because It has been a crazy couple of weeks and I got so far behind it felt like a chore!

I also give up trying to lose weight before I go away. I can start again after!

I'm just a big quitter today!

Day 9 (Happy birthday to me STILL!)

still celebrating! Finally some candles freshly plucked from my birthday clafoutis! .... well, I don't really like cake anyway! ;)

Day 8 (total cheat!)

That one was actually taken on the 7th!! I KNOW! F.A.I.L! I just can't remember what I was supposed to photograph for the 8th! probably the humble pie or the gumbo or cornbread, or all 10 of us eating dinner. But I didn't photograph any of those things! oops!

Day 7 (I have decided wardrobes should be classed as a basic human right!)

a trip to Ikea to pick up what we need to finally build wardrobes! :)
I have missed having wardrobes!!!!

Day 6 (SURPRISE!! happy birthday to me!)

I was sat at the table opening cards and presents when there was a knock at the door. In came Lesley and Steph, I was a little confused! They don't usually show up bearing gifts of my birthday! I took the gift bag and looked inside...

Day 5 (mmmm!)

virgin strawberry daiquiri. The Exchange (with Mum).

Day 4 (the last kitty-love wednesday!)

My final visit with the kittens now 6 weeks and 3 days old. I will post more of the pictures that have been missed after the august break!

Day 3 (not so clever)

I 'broke down' (or in other words ran out of petrol), annoyingly, within view of the petrol station. Hooray for the nice van driver who towed me in! :)

Day2 (the accidental stroke of genius!!:)

#

air hockey! gotta love it! I challenged Georgia to a game on the way out of the cinema. It was neck and neck untill...

I distracted her by taking a photo and scored the winning goal! :)

Day 1 (the view from here)

Exciting start hey?! so I had a migraine which meant my day was filled with PJs

in answer...

to the comments on the last post :)...


I can't really claim to have kept up too well with the august break thing as I haven't been posting BUT I have been taking pics each day so I will start posting catch ups later today :)


and, Kerrin, I went to reply to you via your blog but I keep forgetting that I let my invite expire without logging in cos I was super busy when you went private so that isn't going to work! 


ok, that's it for the personal messages, next up...


August Break!!!! :) 

The August Break...

So I am a little late posting this, but you may have noticed the 'August Break' link at the top of the blog there! To quote Susannah Conway (the mastermind behind it all):

The (loose & very adaptable) plan would be to simply share one photo per day on your blog – Monday to Friday, or every day. Or whenever you want. Using any camera – DSLR, compact, Polaroid, Holga, iPhone (my choice), Instax, 35mm, video – with or without words – anything goes – for the whole of August. No pressure -  just looking at August through your camera lens as a way to be more present this summer. And to have a little break from the pressures and expectations of regular blogging. 


Well, Lets face it, I don't spend a lot of time on this blog anyway, so I signed on for slightly different reasons. Rather than a break, I figure it will encourage me to get into the habit of being more active here, without making a big deal out of each post. small bite sized chunks!


so, without further waffle welcome to the august break project...
