Some Photographs

I'm so bored since it's my day off today. I was going to visit my parents but I went this weekend and I'm trying to save some money since my next payday isn't until May 1st.

Thought I'd share some photographs from the weekend...

Less than 3 weeks till Nikki is home!!

I seriously cannot wait three weeks! Nikki has been in Egypt since October and I miss her so much!!

I'm travelling to Londons Gatwick airport with my Dad to pick her up on May 1st. We'll spend a few days together and then we're off for a couple of days in London so she can pick up her Visa for working in the States over the summer. I'm hoping we can squeeze in a trip to Monkey World too...Doing the tourist thing should be fun!

Anyway, the pics were taken off facebook. I think the one above was added by someone else, and the bottom ones were added by her.

Missing you lots, Nikki! Love you loads and I can't wait to see you!! *HUGS & KISSES*

Happy Birthday Mum!!

Hope you had a great day and liked the birthday present!! Love you! xx

It's April already?

Where did the year go? I just can't believe it's gone by so fast. It seems like yesterday we were planning for Christmas!!

Well, the weather is still shocking, so I've been keeping warm in my awesome socks! They are long stripey over-the-knee socks, and I did without cigarettes for a whole day to buy these!

In other news, I've got some kind of colour blindness and screwed up peripheral vision. A trip to the optician confirmed it yesterday =o(. I've been referred to my GP and the eye hospital for further tests to see what strain of colour blindness I have (which cone is damaged and whether it's one or both eyes) and to try and do something with the peripheral vision. I'm hoping I don;t have to have those stupid patches again like I did have for my astigmatism when I was a kid. I have, however got a new pair of glasses on order, and my first pair of perscription sunglasses.

The everyday glasses are thick black plastic frames (think librarian) with a small gold flower type detail on the arm. The sunglasses are thick black plastic frames too with black diamante detail on the arms. Whilst I'm looking forward to something different, it's going to be a huge change and they'll take a lot of getting used to. The optician and Des both said they looked nice and suited me, but I'm not so sure yet. Don't worry though, you'll get pictures next Tuesday or Wednesday! Then you can decide for yourself.

In the meantime, here's some pretty pictures of my nice socks! They're so comfy and I'm in love!!

Another Day Trip!

This time to Deeside ice rink and Blue Planet Aquarium.

We took my neice & nephew and my sister-in-law. Fun was had by all - oh, and a couple of bruised bottoms!!

I didn't get too many photographs at the ice rink as I had to register my camera before I was allowed to point the lens at the ice rink. By the time I learned that it was too late as Thomas was hungry and Emily had just fallen over and was crying. Oh well, here we go...Firstly are the pics of ice skating. Second in line are the photos from Blue Planet (I haven't got round to editing the majority of them yet!

Mwahahahaha! I have an Easter Egg!

And it was from Thorntons...and it's the prettiest egg ever...and and and...it's nearly all gone!!

Good job I took pictures of this perfect little egg! It was so tasty! Mmmmm!

I wonder if they'll all be reduced on Monday?

The beach is so boring...

My original plans for today were to go to Chester Zoo, and spend the day walking around and photographing the animals. I went to pick up my Mum & Nan and they decided they no longer wanted to go.

My Dad said he'd like to go to the beach and I could take some photographs there instead...I imagined a nice scenic beach with lots of patterned sand and mountain views...We ended up in Fairbourne. It's not awful, but there was very little sand, just stones/pebbles.

I attempted to take lots of photographs (as usual) but the weather was crap. I was frozen and almost breaking my ankle on the stones every 2 minutes. I managed to get a few action shots of the dogs.

From there we visited my Aunty Fran, who lives in Llwyngwril. I ended up photographing some flowers in her garden because I thought that todays photographs were too dark and gloomy!

It wasn't as good as a trip to Chester Zoo, but I got to spend all day with my Dad which was fun. I wish he'd fancied the zoo or aquarium though!!
