286/365 Bubbles?

I may have mentioned that we have builders working here at the moment, building an extension to our house. The design includes glass blocks - they came today, what a photographic treat :0) (Messed with in PS!)

91/365 Bubble Fun

We love Gazillion Bubbles, definitely a superior quality of bubble mixture. Jodie sat on the trampoline wrapped in a blanket after school this afternoon and blew for all she was worth. We had some warm weather and she asked for the paddling pool to come out! Not yet, not just yet.

And I managed to persuade Oliver to smile nicely for the camera for a change! Don't blink, you'll miss it!

Jodie spent another day at home with me, and it was warm enough to be in the garden some. This was after we'd made a tent to play in (sheet over chair backs) and set out the horses on the farm and done some of the activities in her magazine. I think perhaps one more day off and she may be well enough to go back to school! She pottered more and didn't crash until much later in the day, and although her temp was up it was very slight.

The magazine came with a packet of 'body art' stickers - tiny butterflies, strawberries, stars etc, which Jodie stuck to her nails and face!

Perhaps if I make tomorrow very dull she'll be more keen to get back to school ;0)

27/365 Bubbles in bubbles

I think today was the hardest so far to come up with something for the Blog! The day started out with thick fog and stayed grey once the fog thinned, plus I was pretty busy today so this was my quick idea while getting dinner ready for the kids - lots of fairy liquid (I just washed up the grill pan) and a straw to make bigger bubbles. (I promise tomorrow's shot will be better, can't be much worse! LOL!)

6/365 An ice picture or a nice picture?

We are having a cold snap here at the moment so I ventured onto the deck and took the slab of ice from a bowl and put it in the sun - its one of those crisp bright winter days with blue sky and sunshine. A leaf from a silver birch is trapped in the ice, along with many air bubbles. Hard choice today - I'll post some of the other shots to Picasa later.
