Happy Monday #51b

 
Happy Monday everyone!
 
And what a Monday it is, here in the UK.  The sky is blue, the sun is shining, the temperature’s a whopping 15 degrees Celsius (positively tropical for Wales in spring) and…. it’s a Bank Holiday.  Happy days 🙂
 
As it’s Easter, it’s been a 4 day weekend here in the UK.  It’s also been a weekend for that backbone of quintessential Bank Holiday fare and British Comedy… Carry On!
 
Imagine it:  nearly every single film (and there’s 31 of them!), broadcast back-to-back over 4 days.
 
A nightmare for some.  Absolute bliss for me!

Happy Monday #51

 
Good morning!
 
And how are you all doing today?  Did you have an awesome weekend?
 
I enjoyed an action packed few days, commencing with an Easter concert on Friday.  Saturday morning saw me helping out in a Coffee Morning Fundraiser, while the afternoon was spent celebrating a birthday in a lovely little Italian restaurant.
 
If you’re not a fan of fish, avert your eyes… as I’m about to tell you how the Brodetto di Pesce (fish stew) was stunning!  How delicious is this?

Happy Monday #50

Good morning & Happy Monday 🙂  I hope you all had an awesome weekend!

If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, I hope you enjoyed the eclipse watching on Friday.  Rocky and I spent a good few hours out the garden watching… well, I watched – he sniffed around and played with the ants.

I did take a few photos for you, but I’m afraid they’re not too impressive.  Wonderful horizontal beams of light though, don’t you think?

If you look closely, you can see the actual eclipse in the small reflection, slightly to the lower right of the sun: read more

Happy Monday #49

Good morning & Happy Monday 🙂

This week is the week of the eclipse (at least in the Northern Hemisphere).  Come 09:27 on Friday, I shall be sat on a bench in my local country park, ready and waiting for the 87% partial eclipse.

I’m toying with the idea of buying special viewing glasses, but as I just mentioned to the infamous Mr Shaps, I might just fashion a viewing device out of an old cardboard box, Quality Street wrappers and a cookie cutter in the shape of a Christmas tree.  Innovative and swish! read more

Happy Monday #48

 
Good morning!  And a very happy Monday to you 🙂
 
At 7am this morning, I emerged from a wonderfully quiet weekend, armed and ready to take on the world!  Or so I thought.  It turns out that my work plans have had to take a backseat for a few hours, as I take time out to…
 
Babysit these guys!

How cute are they?!  Introducing “the twins”… the week old puppies of my parent’s Fox Terrier:

Cute little things aren’t they?  Though, as you can imagine, Rocky wasn’t best pleased when I told him he had new cousins:

I guess he’s already thinking about the impact his cousins will have on his Christmas presents from grandma & grandpa 😉
