Hai!

Where has the time gone?!?!! So what have we been up to…
On Mon­day I drove down to Stoke to pho­to­graph this lit­tle bun­dle of new­born loveliness

I had sooooo much fun.  It was my first new­born shoot and Jenny (the mom) was super sweet and I hope she enjoys the pho­tos as much as I enjoyed tak­ing them.  I’m still in the mid­dle of pro­cess­ing.  I had for­got­ten how teeny new­borns are.  You should have seen the tiny lit­tle bum this one has!  Not like the big girl bum that comes my way after it goes potty!!

The rest of the week has been pretty bor­ing.  Went to the library on Tues­day, which was good since we missed our nor­mal Mon­day story time.  On Wednes­day I didn’t do much of any­thing.  Thurs­day we went swim­ming and Squidge was sooo freak­ing good!  It was like we had our swim lov­ing Squidge back!  I’ve been talk­ing to her for 2 weeks about swim­ming and not cry­ing and how when she cries water goes up her nose and she doesn’t like that and she needs to not cry and and AND!!!  And I think it finally worked!!  Thurs­day Wal went down to Lon­don for work and when he got back we went out for a curry.  Only thing was we had to wait until it got dark!  It made us laugh because Squidge asso­ciates going for a curry as some­thing that only hap­pens at night.  Not that we go out for cur­ries much so I don’t know why that has stuck.  I won­der what would hap­pen if we went to a dif­fer­ent restau­rant?  Hmm prob­a­bly a lot of tears.

So that has been my week in a nut­shell.  Hmmm did I for­get any­thing?  Oh yes the bath is in. I repeat the BATH IS IN!  Well at least tem­porar­ily, we need to make some adjust­ments and then we can start tiling.  Oh, I am SOOOO look­ing for­ward to that– not!  I absolutely loathe DIY but Wal is happy put­ter­ing around so hey what­ever as long as I sell this feck­ing place by the Sum­mer. Oh I also sold all but one of my lenses (kept my 50mm) and have ordered a Nikon 24–85 f/2.8.  It wasn’t my first choice lens but at £1100 that lens was NEVER going to hap­pen.  At least not yet.  The new lens should be arriv­ing tomor­row and I’m really look­ing for­ward to it as it’s sup­posed to be a fan­tas­tic lens.  

Any­hoo enough of my bor­ing jib­ber jab­ber– here are some ran­dom pho­tos from the past week.
