I had a prang in the car this morning.....

a dog ran out in front of me whilst driving to work. Why couldn't it have been a small dog?!?!?! It was a St Bernard, it got up and ran away, but it has really damaged my car quite badly. It is going into the garage tomorrow to be assessed, I will take a photo of it tonight and post it so that you can see how much damage a St Bernard can do to a car going at about 25MPH!!!

Chris and I did a talk at Photography Club last night!!!

We didn't really know how it was going to go down, as most of the membership is male and over 60....

We decided to talk about how we had got interested in photograhy.....which was, of course, through scrapbooking. We started by asking the members where they kept their old photos, you know, the ones your parents handed down to you....... the answers came back, as expected, in a box under the stairs.....in the bottom of the wardrobe........at the top of the book case. We then asked if they knew who ALL the people were in the photos and where, when and why the photos were taken. Mostly they shook their heads.....so far so good.

We then went on to explain what Scrapbooking or Memory albums were and how we started doing it. They seemed very interested, even asked questions as we went on. I don't think we will have any new members to our scrapbooking club, but now they know what we do with the photographs we take, and that we really can be serious when the mood takes, it just doesn't take us that way very often!!!! :)

Have had puter problems

Paul decided to "fiddle" with the registries, and we lost Windows!!!

So puter has been in hospital for a few days, but as you can see, it is back now and I am trying to find my way around again!!!!

Why does everything move when puters go into hospital?!?!?! One wonderful thing though, it went in with Photoshop, and came out with CS2!!!!

Vikki had her birthday on the 26th, she is now 28!!! doesn't time fly!?!?!

We went round to Adam's dads' house and his wife Viv made us a fabulous dinner. A full roast with beef and pork with almost every veg imaginable!!! Unfortunately, I had had to go to the dentists that afternoon, and had a huge filling, but I managed to eat almost everything. Dessert was a wonderful home made trifle, yummy. Had a wonderful evening, Vikki thought it went well too, so that's good.

Vikki and I went down to London on the 29th for the weekend, we saw "Dirty Dancing" the musical on stage at the Aldwych Theatre in Covent Garden. It was absolutely fantastic, the stage was spectacular, the dancers were brilliant, the singers were "just like the real thing". If you like the film - Vikkis' favourite ever film - you will thoroughly enjoy the West End Show!!!

I think Vikki wants to go again, but this time I think she would rather go with her girlfriends, as I think I slowed down her shopping in Covent Garden on the Sunday, but she was very patient, letting her dear ol' mum stop to take photos of everything!!!!! :)

Although the photos didn't turn out very well at all!!!!! :(
