5/366 :: Desk disorder

Back to it properly and back to proper writing. I wasn't good and dedicated writing over Christmas. It's quite hard to get back into the right mental frame of mind.

Re-drafting a piece of work. Papers everywhere. Attached to my filing cabinet is a set of post-it notes I got from a hotel somewhere. I haven't actually used them yet even though I've probably had them 5 years! Also there is a leaflet from a wallpaper company. I absolutely adore this wallpaper design (of little house to make a city) and have a reasonable sized offcut for framing. I can't really afford to paper a whole wall/room as it's about £100 a roll! But I can dream...

4/366 :: Dumped

Here are my comfy heels. Wore them at New Year and took them out of my suitcase yesterday and dumped them on the floor of my hallway. I liked the way they landed. This one is for Cris as I know she's a girl who likes her heels :-)

These heels, like I say, are very comfy. Bargain at £15 from M&S Limited Collection. Only thing is one shoe slips off more than the other so requires an insert, which also moves about when I take the shoe off!

3/366 :: A poorly bunny

I left the my parents-in-law's house to head back north. Mum came and picked me up (very kind of her) as we had a lot of gossip to catch up on. Lots of family stuff happened over Christmas.

Before I left I took this photo of Paul's rabbit called Val. She's about 7 years old and last year she had a bad case of a cold and the snuffles and was only able to breath through her mouth which meant she wasn't interested in eating and drinking. Last year Paul and his mum drip fed her and eventually the Vet gave her antibiotics over the course of a few weeks and she improved. Unfortunately the same happened this year. We thought she'd fight it and get better but sadly she seems a lot worse this year.

Val later died during the early morning of Sat 7th Jan, 2012. RIP Val :-(

2/366 :: The tired brothers

The last day before the holidays end. Paul and I spent the Bank Holiday wandering around a new housing development in Stafford, admiring the new houses. They always do home decor so well. We need inspiration for tarting up Paul's house for sale. The aim is to get it on the market for end of Feb then consider our options. Ideally we want a quick sale at a good price...buy hey, doesn't everyone?

I think this and the rest of the highs, lows and stresses and excitement of Christmas and New Year must've taken it out on Paul and Stephen as they needed an afternoon nap. Stephen's girlfriend Paula came in handy. Paul was, as you can see, less than impressed by my taking their photo!

1/366 :: Here's to another exciting year

I've been talked into another Photo-a-day for 2012 (only kiddin' Cris! It's an interesting challenge!)

I'm currently down in Stafford at my in-laws. I spent Christmas and New Year here with a brief return to Manchester mid week to see my family.

Last night 11 of us went to a local pub to celebrate the New Year. They had a very good band on, called Regards. Played 1960s music and a bit of Oasis and the like.

Today we chilled out and some of us wandered into the town centre but as only 3 shops and coffee shops were open it wasn't much of a visit. We looked in a couple of shops and stopped for a coffee at Costa before heading home for a roast dinner and a Harry Potter fest.

Have over-enhanced this pic to get the colours of the evening dusk. Was a really nice sunset.
