328/365 Tools of the trade II

The new kitchen is taking shape, power tools abound, some of them enormous, most of them noisy, a new shade of dust permeates the house! Not long now... (See 316/365 for the other tools shot.)

327/365 Its a jungle out there

This cool cat having a coffee break has amazing hair - I have never seen animal print in a hairstyle before! Her daughter is a stylist, and this is such a cool look!

326/365 Sunset panorama

The clouds were amazing, it was wet, the wind had turned icy. This is the view across fields towards Kedleston Hall from the end of my road, and my first (decent) panorama.

325/365 Wheeeee!

Wheeeee! Jodie spent some time getting dizzy today in one of our new office chairs. We picked up 2 large desks and 2 comfy red swivel chairs from Finlay today for our new study/office. The builders have gone, there are just a few little bits to finish (vertical rad to install, a wiring issue on the new boiler controller, the skip hasn't yet been taken away...) and the kitchen fitter starts tomorrow, 8am sharp. We've been decorating, even Jodie helped with a small roller! Clever girl!

324/365 Jodie's bobbles

These are a pair of Jodie's hair bobbles, she has loads, all different shapes, colours and designs. She's been growing her hair for some time now and has a pony tail or bunches most days. She also has about a million hairslides. (Well, not really that many, just seems like it when they all get tangled up and you can't get them untangled when we're trying to get ready for school in the mornings!) I remember having slides when I was little, but not hair bobbles. My Mum didn't let me grow my hair, so I never learnt about plaits and all that girlie stuff. But I can learn now!

323/365 Wood shavings

Harry the carpenter thought I was unhinged picking up wood shavings to take photographs of...

322/365 Turned on

I didn't get the camera out until evening time, busy day, so had to think of something, with low light and high ISO. My PC is currently crammed into a small space on a landing outside our loft room, cosy enough (now the heating is on again) but not my usual workspace. I am behind with images, can't wait to get moved into my lovely new space downstairs, but there is much to do, mainly involving large quantities of emulsion and satinwood! I am keen to get started, looking forward to decorating, for the first time in months. Getting excited about watching paint dry... I need to get out more! No! I need to get painting so I can get moved in to my lovely new space and get creative with making images through the winter when I will spend less time out with cam - can I get back on top?

321/365 Raindrops

It was another wet autumnal day today.
