Ok big bounding puppy time but I’m so pleased with myself and what I managed to do.  To here’s my ta-da! moment:

 

 

Now I’m guessing there’s a fair few of you out there that can do this but I only found out about it last week and my mind has been blown!  I can see myself loosing many many hours fixing up old family photos.

The lady in the photo is my grandaunt but I’m not 100% as I’ve a choice of 2 so I’ll have to ring my mam and ask her.  But yes, I’m sooo pleased with myself.

If you see this more than once I do apologise but it’s going to be cross posted EVERYWHERE 🙂

Neujahrskonzert

This is something I love to watch every New Years Day and this year is no exception.

Right now we are waiting for the Blue Danube & the Radetzky March 🙂

We were looking at the concert hall where it is taking place and it really does look like a chocolate box all golden and flowers.  In the audience I’ve spotted Julie Andrews – I’m jealous!  You know how some people would love to go to Wimbledon well I’d love to go to this concert!  Although I’m not too sure I could sit still for the entire thing – right now I’m prancing around my living room pretending to waltz and polka – all of those weekends spent watching Strictly Come Dancing have not been wasted 😉

The Danube has started with shots of the river and SNOW – it looks so magical – it all combines to make the heart swell.

Bad Weather

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I do like bad weather, whether it’s wind or rain, hail or snow I love love love it.

So here is a photographer that has captured some fabulous miserable weather and it all really does look absolutely fabulous – anyway his name is Christophe Jacrot and he has some beautiful photos of Paris & New York.

Here’s an example to tempt you –

Heston Blementhal’s Perfect Christmas

I’m not treading a fine line on is it too early to mention Christmas?  For me it’s never too early 🙂

I saw this a few years ago and there was another one made subsequently but for me this is the one to watch – it’s pure magic!

Weight

Well right now my weight is making me smile!

Yes I know it’s madness but I’m now down 1 whole stone – 14lbs!!  The plan has been to take it slowly and slow it has been – I decided in May to do it and it would seem, do it, I am!  It makes such a difference from watching the numbers going up and up.

So in May I was 14st 4lbs

In October I’m 13st 4lbs!

I’m soooo chuffed with myself but watch out for the next stone drop sometime between Jan. & April 🙂

BTW we're hitting the Autumn one of my favourite seasons so expect a few updates!

Aldi Adverts

I’m sorry but these ads are simply brilliant – I was going to put them all up individually but as there are loads it might be a bit too much so here they are – play them all and only press stop when the laughing starts to hurt.
