whew – what a day…..

…yesterday!

OK – so shoot me – I'm a day late – but better late than never!

So here I was – around 1:00pm yesterday afternoon – happily immersed in some spectacular wordpress plugin / code that was keeping me busy – when VOILA – no power.  AHA.  No POWER – shall I say that again!!!  Ahhh – says me to myself.  Friday 22 June – no power – that rings a bell.  So I trot over to the fridge and look at the notice which reads – INTERRUPTION TO ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.  Oh – so it WAS meant for us!!!  Since there was no specific address on the letter – I had assumed that it may not be for us – but some junk mail – so I kept it anyway. Lucky.  Sooooo – no power until – possibly 4:30pm.  WHAT!  I allowed my self a minute before picking myself up off the floor!!!!!  No power means – no HEATING, no music, no internet, no computer, and no kettle to make myself a warm drink.  AARRGGHH. So I sat down with my sketchbook, and let the ideas flow.  What did I come up with – wait and see!!!!!

Then – after dinner (all power had since been restored!) -  I continued work on the wordpress plugin codey thing – when WHAM.  Blog gone. So I went to bed!  Obviously I have since ustilised my magical wordpress powers, and fixed it up!

Last night was M1's Lantern Walk to 'celebrate' the Winter Solstice.  great success. Rain held off, lanterns stayed alight, and I didn't lose my children (is that a blessing!).  Of course – no camera – the memory is in my head!  But – never fear – here's a couple of shots of M1 with her new umbrella…..

 Gotta love that grin AND a bit of colour all at once!

 Oh, and here is a sneak peak….
