blackbird

This is the blackbird with the piercing blue eyes that we rescued from mother-in-law's garden this afternoon - suspected broken wing - and Liam and David took along to the vets to be put right.

exams

I went up to the local sixth form college tonight for my first Zumba class and walked past these all set out for tomorrow's exam. I felt a shudder and a sense of relief that I dont have to do any more exams ever (unless I choose to).

Chinese moneybag

This is on a Chinese New Year moneybag that's been laying around at work for ages. Cute.

windmills

A blowy time down in Littlehampton and chips on the way home.

Hayseed Dixie, recommended for a good night out.

We went out for lunch today to celebrate my mum's 80th birthday. Happy Birthday Mum!

Val

Our friend Val, who is off on her second African adventure next week. See you in a year and take care not to let the rats chew through your knickers this time!

badge

orchid

I want to believe

Mulder had this poster in his subterranean office in the X Files. That was my favourite early 90's TV show, the early seasons anyhow - it petered out badly towards the end. This poster is in Liam's school library.

shoebank

fairy

A grown-up fairy out doing her shopping in Sydney Street on Saturday.

flame

Just enjoyed an evening of chat, pizza and beer by candle light at The Bull.

dress

Why is it that the prettiest print dresses are always made for 8 year olds?

dreamcatcher

Our dreamcatcher. Which we bought when we really didn't go to Utah. 'The bad dreams are trapped in the web, where they perish in the light of dawn.' Sometimes it doesn't work and the bad ones still creep through.

journey

beehive

This is a car park in Worthing that is pretty ugly in a 70's sort of way. Looks a bit like a beehive to me though, the shapes are quite striking.
