A Home Alone Day...

Today was about having the house to myself (the mogs were in but asleep - no change there).  I was going to be a sloth but then got distracted by actually doing stuff - the best laid plans etc.  I started with 30 minutes of yoga, then my campaign to eat more healthily continued with me making Moroccan style sweet potato and chick peas (the smell of the garlic and spices was delicious), with cauliflower rice.  I was rather sceptical about the cauliflower rice, but not being a fan of actual rice decided to give it a go.  I loved it! For those of you who haven't come across it, the instructions I followed are here. Amazing!  Will definitely be using it again.

Later I decided to try some still-life shots although failed to get any with the bunting that I made, I just can't figure out how to combine it with other elements so it looks as if its meant to be there rather than just happened to be in the way.  I will not be beaten by the bunting though and my search for the elusive capture continues.

Garlic…

If only all food were this photogenic.

The healthy lunch…

The buntingless still-life.

What have I been up to...?

Helloooo again!  No I have not deserted blogland.  Just been trying to regain some balance in my life away from the MAC.  I seemed to be either at work or on the computer, with not much time left for the things I like doing, and feeling so limp the other week put things into perspective for me.  Anyway, fear not, my camera has been to hand and so here's a brief run-down of what I've been doing.

I went to Bosworth Battlefield...

We had a little more snow...

We walked around Batsford Arboretum...

We enjoyed some sunshine...

... and had lunch with friends and met

their two rather spiffing cats.

This is Misty.

So there you have it.  I've been chilling, but still photographically industrious - oh yes, and we also got to see Lincoln at Warwick Arts Centre which was excellent.  A bit The West Wing in period costume :O)

Have a great weekend everyone x

I'm still here!

Just a note to say I'm still around - I've just been rather sick for the last couple of weeks and have been so lacking in energy or mental awareness that I've only just picked up my camera again!  Still not 100% but I made it out to Bosworth Battlefield this morning and took a picture of a puddle as proof...  There's also a pic of a weed-type plant that caught my eye...

Just because it made me laugh...

Not one of mine - but I saw it on Facebook and decided it was worth sharing :O))
