Today I was back in work, only to have tomorrow off again! Hooray! We got takeaway for tea which was nice and have decided to go to Walton Gardens to take some photos tomorrow before the boy has to go to work. Here's to hoping the weather is a bit better than todays!

Today we went and had breakfast at a cafe in Latchford village and then went over to the amazing cake shop to sample their cake! We had swirly, colourful cupcakes that were so tasty!

Rainbow Swirl:


Song Of The Day: Fiona Apple - Never Is A Promise
Reason: One of my favourite ever songs, so beautiful.

Highlight Of The Day: Watching the cross country event at the Olympics (see previous post!)

Equestrians At The Olympics

Today I have been watching the cross country event at the Olympics. It's been really fantastic and we're still only about half way through! The 3 British riders that have already gone have done amazingly and have done the country proud. Zara Phillips and Mary King have been my sporting idols for a long time, but it's been great to see such a lot of top riders doing so well. Sadly there have been a fair few falls, so hopefully horses and riders are all ok. I'm not usually a follower of any other kind of sporting event and I don't really follow equestrian sports as much as I should, but it's an amazing feeling to sit on the edge of your seat, praying to god that your riders get home safely and within the time. I actually feel like I've had the most stressful afternoon and have probably been acting like the boy does when he swears, yells and jumps up and down when the football is on. Ok, maybe not that bad! I've found the event to be really inspiring and I'm so disappointed that I couldn't be there myself. Go Team GB!

Today has been a strange day. Mostly because I was in work, which is unusual on a Sunday for me, so it's felt like a weekday all day! It will probably be strange when I'm off work tomorrow and back in on Tuesday too! I bought a couple more new bits today, including these creepers! They're not Underground ones sadly, but a cheap replica will do nicely for now!

Jeepers, Creepers. Better Watch Those Creepers:


Song Of The Day: Slipknot - My Plague
Reason: Still one of my favourite Slipknot songs ever.

Highlight Of The Day: Bit of shopping by myself after work.

Today I went to Manchester shopping! I had a really nice day and the weather wasn't too bad. I didn't take my Mini Diana in the end as I thought it might end up raining. I bought a few things, mostly for the boy. Most importantly, I picked up my Sahara Diana F+ and Oktomat Cameras for my birthday! So excited! We also had a really nice lunch in San Carlo Cicchetti in the House Of Fraser. It was really nice but tiny portions, even for tapas!

Panfried:


Song Of The Day: Boy Meets World Theme Tune
Reason: The later version, it has been stuck in my head since I started watching it when I came home from shopping!

Highlight Of The Day: Getting my cameras!!

Tomorrow I'm going shopping in Manchester with my Mum for my birthday presents!!! Yay!! I think I will have to severely hold myself back when we go into Thunder Egg and the Lomography Store! I'm going to take my Mini Diana out too, see if I can get any interesting shots whilst the weather's still nice!

Tiger:


Song Of The Day: Lana Del Rey - Lolyta
Reason: Awesome song, reminds me of A Nightmare Before Christmas in a way!

Highlight Of The Day: Nice end of the day in work with two of my good friends

Today I have literally been exhausted. I struggled to wake up properly, even though I was in work later than usual, I had to have nap as soon as I got in from work and now it's not even 10.30pm and I'm just about ready for bed. I've got a whole list of stuff I want to get done, but none of it has even been thought about this evening. I can't wait for my week off so that I can catch up on my jobs and relax!

Fajita Time:
 

Song Of The Day: Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip
Reason: Just popped into my head and had the urge to listen to it on repeat on the way home!

Highlight Of The Day: A nice bacon sandwich for breakfast

Today has been a super long, slow, boring and dull day. I have no idea why, but it did seem to be the general tone for the day for most of the people I spoke to! I'm making good progress on finding a photography course, so hopefully will have some news about that soon! I also have another film job lined up for the end of August, so watch this space for more details too.

Hello, Klaus!:


Song Of The Day: Young Guns - Bones
Reason: Really catchy!

Hightlight Of The Day: Finally getting in my bed.
