Change of view

After being pushed (persuaded) to go to the opticians yesterday I finally had my eyes tested and discovered I do need glasses for close work (inc laptop, tv etc). I pick them up next week, its going to be weird I had kinda guessed that I would need glasses; my left eye has felt tired for a long time now so it wasn't really a shock and i'm not at all bothered by the idea of wearing them, its just gonna be odd/different I guess. I had no real idea of styles etc but as soon as I saw the ones i'm getting it 'had' to be them :)

I have just added another video to my favourites on youtube - yet another favourite scene from a fave movie :)

I cannot believe its march already! Outside still looks so wintry and i'm still cold most of the time (that could just be me though lol). Hopefully will have something bright and spring like to post about here soon :)

Youtube

I have today linked my blog with a youtube account so (hopefully) any videos I come across will inspire me to blog or maybe even vice versa?!

I have added a few favourite videos there so far and will keep adding more, so if you like 'me' and want to see what I like then take a nosey at my youtube account! :)
I could list why I like each vid I post but that could get a little boring... so if you want to know why I like one just ask :) x

A snapshot of colour

I don't think it could rain anymore today if it tried! I can't wait until it at least feels like spring has begun, and some 'colour' returns to the garden etc.
Searching through some photos today I found this one I took last spring on a walk with my children, we ended up in another town and walking through a lovely churchyard that was full of blossom trees. I took this photo from underneath one of them then got all arty with it (lol). I really like this - the contrast of the black and white combined with the snapshot effect of colour.
(Click on the photo to see it bigger :] x )

Only good the notes

A favourite scene from a favourite movie..... x

Snowy start to 2010

It has certainly been a very cold start to 2010 in the whole of the Uk,I can't remember the whole country being so affected at the same time by such cold weather conditions (I'm sure it has been before I just can't remember!).

It has been fun but i've honestly had enough now - its starting to thaw here, so now really slippery, I wish it would either snow alot more or be completely gone. Other parts of the country have got another load of snow overnight and today!

My children have been fascinated by it, they've never seen 'proper' snow before! There have been a lot of snowball fights!!

I hope everyone is keeping safe and warm! :)

Christmas & New Year ... Must try harder!

Wow, its been months!

Life seems to be whats happening when you're not looking I think...

Nothing too major has happened for me not to have blogged, just life etc

Anyway... its almost new year, can't believe its almost 2010! 2009 went so fast!
I hope you all had a fab christmas, ours was ok other than both my children being sick with a stomach bug :( oh and then just before I started cooking christmas dinner I managed to slice open my finger with a stanley blade :( not good but it did get me out of having to cook which was nice in a way, though very weird, i've cooked christmas dinner for the last 13 years since I was 18 so was different :)

This is just a quick post.. just so those of you who might like to know i'm still alive can see I am! lol

Hope you all have a safe and happy new year and a fab 2010!!

An unintentional break!

I cannot believe it was the 18th of July that I last 'blogged', I hadn't made a decision to have a break and blogging wasn't the only thing i'd stopped doing, facebook, twitter and all the usual online retreats had also been left a while too.
So I guess now i'm back, anyone missed me? :P lol

Its nearing the end of a generally poor summer here and I can't wait for the winter evenings to stay snuggled in with the family playing games etc :)

I hope everyone else is well :)
