Getting organised

I spent some time updating photos on flickr tonight. I only uploaded about 20 in total, but it was good to make a start. None of the shots have been edited, but they are some of my favourites from recent activities. In particular it’s people’s facial expressions, especially their reactions to a specific event, activity or [...]

3BTs – photos, first, sunshine

At a party on Saturday BF and I took approximately 200 photos of everything and everyone. I had a great time looking through them, deciding which to send to others, which to delete etc. But, most of all seeing the very different facial expressions.
My first rose appeared this morning – not quite unfurled, but just [...]

Trouble ahead…

Yep – here we go again, stormy waters lie in front of us. We’ve sailed them before and done ok, but this time feels different.
Work. It’s a chore. It’s even worse when you know no matter what you do, it’s others and their actions (or lack of them) that cause the major issues.
Worry. Yes. Lots.
Plan? Not [...]

3BTs – airport, pink, and technology in action

Anticipating seeing someone. I have to pick someone special up from the airport later.
Pinks in bloom in my garden. Recently planted, the pinks are starting to show their colours, release their perfume and decorate my previously dull garden.

Shopping Online – Two Very Different Examples

I would probably say that most of us shop online, or have done at some point in our lives. I do a lot of online shopping, whether groceries, cars (yes, I once bought a car online), clothes, shoes, electronics or simple things like blank media, I think it’s a good option for people who are [...]

Bon Jovi Concert

St. Mary’s Stadium, Southampton
One word: awesome
Four words: out of this world
Bon Jovi really do rock. Richie, Jon and the crew really know how to rock a stadium. With 95% of the audience on its feet for the whole event, singing, shouting, clapping, toe-tapping and jumping in time to the music – it was an amazing atmosphere. [...]

3BTs – Pinks, Gentle Surprise, Busy

The satisfaction of planting Purple Pixies, Fatheads, Pinks, Blue Moons, and other flowering shrubs in my garden to make it look more colourful and smell more fragrant and hearing that I’ve planted some wonderful things (from someone older and wiser).
Holding a four week old baby in my arms and seeing how gentle a five year [...]

Acupuncture

For various reasons I’ve been having acupuncture for a few years now. Initially I went once a week to get a particular health issue under control (this is after several varied attempts by the GP (drugs, surgery etc.) to rectify the problem) and for the most part it’s been fantastic. I say for the most [...]

Thoughts

Had news today that made me think…

about how distant we become in such a short time…
how we see things coming…but don’t expect the slap that they deliver…
how things hurt when they affect those you feel deeply about.

This is for some very good friends who are not so near to me at the moment…
…hang in there for this [...]

3BTs – Gran, wet & dry, surprise!

Hearing that my Gran is having a good time “on holiday” while my parents have a well-earned rest too. She’s been visited by family members from far and wide – something that doesn’t happen too often when she’s in Scotland.
Planning for a holiday with BF and his children. Agreeing things to take to amuse both [...]
