Day 170

It would have been Matthew's birthday today and I'm not good. Had lunch with a good friend which helped. This is a photo of my other son Adam who has been with his wife Katie to visit mum (who has had her hair done today!) so I can have a day off - this had made him very popular with me!! I know this is a 'cheat' as its not my photo but I'm sure you will forgive me x

Day 169 Numbers

Been at Longley Primary today with @mobo40 - what an amazing school everyone was so friendly.
These numbers were in one of the classrooms.

...and in case you missed my earlier tweet - this is the famous Oscar - the 'Longley dog' who is adorable.

Day 161 -164

I love poppies. I love the contrast between the green spiky pods and the folds of wonderful petals beneath the surface.

Day 161 Beneath

Day 162 Neatly done
#epicfail - don't do neat - do messy!!

Day 163 Comfort - visit from a friend with 'comfort supplies' but the real comfort was the hug and support x

Day 164 'On' - This was sitting nicely on the windowsill - until I knocked it off!

Day 160 habit

Jusr want to say a big thank you to my twitter photography friends for all your support and virtual hugs! The second Sunday of every month is my studio morning. I really didn't feel like going today, phone rang at 8 am and my first session cancelled due to illness. As I didn't want to waste the session I rang Nic and Tom and told them to bring our Oliver! Sometimes family, a hug from a gorgeous great nephew and lots of silliness is what you need!

Day 159 faceless self portrait

I'm a bit behind and a bit off task. Struggling-but this is a metaphor for how I'm feeling at the minute, make of it what you will, apologies, bear with me x
