I can’t see the outside of the house, just the door. When I knock your Aunty P answers and invites me in. Looks like there is a family gathering and there you are, smiling and chirpy as always. It’s nice to get one of your hugs and to hold your hand again. You tell me how silly I have been the last few days and how the thoughts of ‘what could of been’ won’t do me any good…you are always right! After chatting to everyone we head back to the flat…

This is where I am interrupted by some eejit delivering the local paper, but, it’s ok, after a few minutes I am soon back…

You aren’t in the flat but for some reason I know to go just a few doors down and knock on the door…you’re here…and you’re married! It looks like the earlier situation isn’t linked to this one. You got married after getting better…and you think I left you in ICU and just gave up on you ( We do a lot of talking and I explain the phonecall I got to say you were no longer with us. There are lots of tears and when your wife…who I never see…leaves, we realise that something terrible has happened. We are supposed to be married and living this life. I ask you to come home and you are smiling that lovely smile…

All the time I am wondering why you haven’t had a heart transplant. They said if you survived ICU you’d need a new heart…

And that was the end of my afternoon snooze (

Here are a few shots from my brother’s birthday yesterday…

Will, Homer and Lizi (Will’s girlfriend)

Two Cakes!

You can also see a few more shots from the day HERE

When I was younger my Mum and Dad used to have a tape of Stevie Wonder songs and it would make an appearance just for this song on our birthdays. So, as it’s a special family birthday in our ‘house’ this weekend I thought it was only right I found it for you all to listen to )

Sunday will be my ‘little’ brothers 18th Birthday…

Hope you have a lovely day XxX

On Thursday Will also found out he had passed his SAT(s?) which means it looks like he’ll be going to University in the USA next year on a soccer scholarship ) Congratulations little bro ;o)

Fingers crossed I’ll have some birthday shots to share with you all early next week )

Helloooo all )

It’s getting to that time of year again where I am thinking about doing a photo a day in the new year! This time I have decided to have 12 subjects (1 for each month) and I am hoping I can manage a photo everyday for all the subjects!

So far suggestions for subjects are:

~ Laundry (linen and clothes)

~ Furniture and fittings

~ The Creative Cat

~ Daily routines

~ Windows. Different things on the window sills, different way the light enters (or doesn’t), drapes, panes… Add doors if needed.

- Glasses and jars. Maybe add cans, too?

So, I need another 6 (and maybe a couple more as backups incase I run out of ideas sometimes!).

Any suggestions??

I am not a fan of images of myself, who is? But, this one was taken by M at DPC and is one of only 2 photos of me in recent years that I actually really like. Hellooo to anyone that didn’t know what I looked like before seeing this post ;o)
