We've been "Hanging off motorway bridges"!!!

Chris and I decided to go on a photo shoot at the weekend, so off we traipsed with our trusty Fuji S9500's and went to the nearest bridge crossing the motorway. NOOOOOOOOOO we weren't going to throw ourselves off, we wanted to see if we could take a time lapse photo of the passing traffic. Welllllll we managed it, and here is the proof............


















We also went along to Chester Cathedral to see what we could take photos of, and here are some of the photos from our afternoon out.











My Daughter Vikki is in Sri Lanka at the moment, she is there on holiday, and also to be a bridesmaid for one of her friends. Her friends' father is Sri Lankan and she is having a traditional Sri Lankan Wedding.

she is getting married on the beach, in a red sari, and she will be arriving on an elephant. The three bridesmaids are going to be wearing coral coloured saris!!

She has taken my old digi camera and is going to get someone to take photos, as soon as I have any, I will post them here in my blog.................. She comes home on the 31 august.



I have been back to the Dr's about my knee, it still isn't back to the point before the operation, and that was almost 6 months ago. So she took a look and we have decided to give it another 6 weeks, if there isn't a significant improvement by then, she said that she would refer me back to see the consultant.

I had my review at work on Tuesday, and everything seemed to be going fine at first, until he said that if he didn't know me better he would have given me a verbal warning!!!!!! It appears that someone has been snooping in my office and found out what one of the managers' earns!!!! The only way that that could happen is if someone was looking over my shoulder, or I have left a spreadsheet open on my PC while I went away from my desk!!! I am SOOOOO annoyed that someone I work with could be so nasty, and to tell someone else what they had found out!!

I now want a meeting with the MD again, so that we can discuss my office security, I have thought about getting a "split door" so that if anyone needs Petty Cash or something, they do not need to come into my office, and if I leave my office, I want a security push button keypad lock put on my door. IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!!!

I have been nagged by my friend Chris to post on my blog, as I have been a very naughty girl, and not posted for a LONG TIME

So what have I done since I last posted way back in MAY............................

I told you that Chris and I have joined the gym, well we go 4 times a week. On Monday nights, we go to pilates, and I have stretched muscles I didn't know I had, I can tell you!!!!

On Wednesday nights we go straight from work, and do our 1 to 1 and a 1/4 hours of our work out, then go into the hydrotherapy pool for a lovely soak in the hot water, and give my knee a massage with the water jets, it is SO soothing!!!

On Friday nights we also go straight from work and go into the hydrotherapy pool afterwards.

On Sundays, we get up really early, and get to they gym as early as we can, it opens at 8am. We do our workout and the hydrotherapy pool, and then have breakfast in the cafe, or back at our local craft store, which is in a garden centre.

The first weekend in July I went to Center Parcs in Sherwood Forest with my DD and her partner, my DS and his partner. My mum, my sister and her husband, their two sons and two of their mates. We had to chalets, and had a wonderful time. The weather started off really, really hot, but as the week progressed the weather deteriorated, but it wasn't too bad. I found walking aroung the Park a little painful, so I hired a bike..................I haven't ridden a bike since I was about 12, so it was quite a sight!!!!! :lol:




Here is a photo of my DD Vikki and her partner Adam












And this is my DS Keith and his partner Gemma







The first weekend in August, Paul and I went to Thoresby Hall again, it was lovely and peaceful, and we didn't want to go home!!!

On the Sunday morning my DH decided to go for a bike ride before breakfast, so off he went..................I decided to go and have a play with the camera around the grounds, and wait for Paul to ring me when he came back, so we could go for breakfast.

At about 9.30 he rang me to say that he was lost, but had found a road sign to say which road he was on, and the village he was in. He asked me to go and get him, so off I go, back to our hotel room to get the car keys.

BUT when I go there I couldn't find the car keys, so I rung Paul to see if he had them ;)

Of course, he did, so I couldn't go to get him. He had to cycle back!!!! So I went down to breakfast, and got him some toast which the staff kindly wrapped in some foil. One of the staff, who knew he was diabetic, offered to make him a bacon butty.

At 10.30 he arrived back at the hotel room, tired, hot and hungry. He ate his breakfast out on our patio, and then had a shower!!!! We went out in the car and retraced his steps..............he had gone about 24 miles!!!


Tomorrow, Chris and I are going to go to the Zoo (if the weather isn't too bad) to play with our cameras, I haven't been to the zoo in about 15 years, and I know that it has changed a lot since I last went!!! So I will try to take some good photos!!

We went to West Kirby tonight just as the sun set, and took some photos - but they didn't turn out very well This is the best..............



Any how, I am getting tired now, and I promise, I will come and post on here at least once a week!!
