On other news....

I got an appointment with the Orthopeadic surgeon after my GP wrote to him after my last visit on April 20th. I think its May the 27th or something, so another long wait. Also need to go see the GP again next week to get another sick note extention as it runs out on the 11th of this month.  That'll be 4 months and counting.
Im guessing the surgeon's 3 months back to work schedule was a little optimistic! Looking more like 6 months now, but Ill see how I am in June. Could really do with earning some money again. There are things I want to buy!!

New walk

Found a really lovely new spot for a walk today. I must have been out for 3 hours, taking photos and enjoying the lovely sunshine.

It starts off in a quiet village next to an old church and then follows a dead end track past some rather posh looking houses and through a gate into a wonderful bright yellow buttercup meadow.


From then on its a long straight walk into another field under some wierd looking telegraph pylons and eventually through a few more gates and towards the river. There were lots of lambs on the bank of the river









I had to backtrack the way I came as I was heading for the landfill site, which is smelly and my car was miles back in other direction. I took a slightly different route though and ended up right at the bottom of the first field. I decided to have a sit down and experiment with my wide angle lens.

I think it was worth it!







I had a thoroughly nice day, and got some really nice photos.
I'm definitely going to go back and get some more, hopefully it wont be so windy next time!

A Royally good few Days

Now that Wedding Fever has just about died down, time for another update.
Yesterday saw the biggest wedding since, well the last big one and Billions of people around the World watched and partied.

We had our own little party here, just the two of us, with tea, cakes and sandwiches. How very posh!

It was good to watch the whole event, and they do seem to make a lovely couple. Im still sure Harry and her Sister will be getting it on soon. There was certainly chemistry there!













After the wedding, we went to the local DIY store to get a few things we needed, one of which being a new incinerator bin. We have amassed so much junk in the garden its unreal. We also bought a new light fitting for the dining room, which I successfuly manged to wire in myself. Look at me, Electrical wizard!

The Incinerator!







So later on after chopping up some of the wood we had in the garden, we had a nice little fire, well I say little, I think the old Xmas tree might have been a step to far!

So that was yesterday, today hasnt been much yet, just tidied the garden after yesterday and watered all the plants. Its nice and sunny again today. It started to poiur down just as we got the fire going yesterday... Typical!

Lots more photos!

I decided to get up early today and go for a walk around some of the local woodlands. I had a lovely day, although think I may have walked to far as now my back and legs are agony. Nevermind, I got some nice shots! My picks of the bunch...

Please go visit my Flickr account for more from today and the bigger versions!

Another sunny day..

Yesterday was a bit disapointing weather wise, but its brightened up again today. Did a bit more work in the garden and made a start on my new photography website. I was going to just use wordpress, but having installed it all, Im not sure. I might revert back to a normal CSS/HTML site and just use wordpress as a blog type thing. Dunno yet.

Just had a nice roast lamb dinner and then going to take the dog for a walk and hopefully get some new photos on the way. Cant decide what lenses to take though.. 105 macro, 85mm f/1.4 for portraits and creamy bokehlicious or the 24-70 f/2.8 for a bit of everything. I dont want to end up carrying a massive bag full of stuff, "just in case". Guarenteed which ever I take, I'll wish I had the other when I get there!

Photos done!

Just finished editing todays photos. Nothing too exciting, just more dandelions and a few flies!
Ill post some of my favourites from the batch in a mo.

A well deserved break!

After lots of planting ( even though not by me!) a nice cold beer is in order! Let's hope it doesn't react with my NSAIDS tablets!

What a....

Glorious day! About 26 degrees, clear blue sky. Can't get better. Need to go buy some grass seen in a bit to try get our lawn back to some resemblance of grass. Looks more like a muddy hole at the moment. Will finally get to use the voucher my grandparents bought us for our wedding day in the garden centre!
Not looking forward to sowing it though. Too much work, I need a man servant. Any offers??
