It’s Been My Day Off! And We Get Some Gorgeous Weather

Karen — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:28:23 +0000

It usually happens that when I get a day off from work we get nothing but rain, but today was different, it has been lovely and sunny, the perfect day off!

So I made the most of it and headed up to Llandudno for some time in the sunshine, stopping off in BHS (British Home Store) for a cappuccino before heading into the town to join with the rest of what seemed to be the retired community pottering around the streets.

After parking the car I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the Great Orme with its cable car ride to the top with a cafe and shop.

There is nothing like a nice sunny day to urge everyone to throw on all their summer clothes and head out for the day and belive me when I say some people wear the craziest of things, but saying that, the amount of middle-aged men walking around in shorts and pair of flip-flops was terrifying with their rather large beer belly hanging over the top of them … Gross!

So besides that and lovely day really

Project 365 – Photo A Day #64: New Steering Wheel for my Mini

Karen — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:30:10 +0000

OK it’s been a while since I actually posted a photo a day, but I have been busy and I have been uploading them to flickr But today I had to pop into BMW in Llandudno to have part of my steering wheel replaced, it was the part where the Mini badge is, it has a faux leather texture on it, which had started peeling off, this was a fault in the part, so I got a new one fitted under my Mini warranty.

So I arrived at 9 this morning and waiting in the customer lounge, had a couple of free cappuccinos while I waited and just after 10 I was given back my electronic key and told everything else was ok and they had washed the car! OMG now is that service or what, it only went in to change the part on the wheel and they check everything else and wash it, wow.

Though I must say that I washed it yesterday and to be picky I made a better job of it, but it does take me 2½ when I do it

So to BMW, next door to Halliwell Jones in Llandudno, thanks guys you rock

Project 365 – Photo A Day #56: Daffodil

Karen — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 16:40:13 +0000

I love this shot, I just couldn’t resist the lovely yellow of the Daffodil in contrast to the green of the leaves, so I grabbed my camera, set up a macro shot and took it, so let me know what you think

Project 365 – Photo A Day #51: Root Beer

Karen — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 22:31:14 +0000

I remember the days when we used to get Root Beer in McDonalds and then for some reason or another they stopped it and replaced it with Sprite. So Today while I was shopping in Morrisons I noticed they had Root Beer for sale so I grabbed a couple of bottles. It tastes lovely…

Project 365 – Photo A Day #50: Clouds and Bird!

Karen — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:11:20 +0000

I saw this interesting shot of the clouds today, so I grabbed my camera and stood on a chair to take the shot through the conservatory window, just as I clicked the button a seagull decided to fly through the shot, but I think it finishes the photo off quite well, with the dark outline of the bird on the blue background..

Project 365 – Photo A Day #47: OUCH!

Karen — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:13:53 +0000

I really bought this on myself, last night I had a craving for some Pringles and sat eating them while I was watching the TV and what do I get for my stupid binging, a mouth ulcer, not just any old mouth ulcer, but the mother of all mouth ulcers and what makes it worse is I keep catching it on my bottom teeth or burning when I have a cup of coffee … OUCH! So it’s time for the Bonjela!!!

Project 365 – Photo A Day #46: Toys!

Karen — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:04:13 +0000

I honestly think that we have the tidiest dogs in the world, they seem to have a habit of throwing their toys in the corner by the front door! Bizarre…. Either that or they know that I like to keep a tidy house and don’t like a mess

Project 365 – Photo A Day #45: Pesky Seagull

Karen — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 23:56:37 +0000

Excuse the quality of the shot, it was taken using the zoom on my camera, this is what I get woken up by every morning a screaming seagull that has nothing better to do that sit on a neighbours roof and scream its head off! And what makes it worse is there are loads of them and the neighbour seems to be feeding them, YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO FEED THEM!!!

Project 365 – Photo A Day #44: Hmm What to Watch

Karen — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 20:00:35 +0000

Anybody would think that having Sky+ would be great for finding something to watch, but there is so much rubbish on it I end up watching DVDs and this is just one of the DVD units that I have full of good movies, the only trouble is it takes half an hour to decide what to watch

Project 365 – Photo A Day #43: Ferrari

Karen — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:53:14 +0000

So there I was sitting outside a Peugeot showroom waiting for my mum to pick up her 4×4 after some minor repairs, when I noticed this sitting in the window, very nice indeed, but to be honest, I think I still prefer my Chilli Red Mini Cooper Excuse the picture quality I took it with my mobile phone..

Project 365 – Photo A Day #42: Star Wars X-Wing

Karen — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 20:46:07 +0000

Contemplating on the news that we are going to get some bad weather soon, I was looking to sunny days through some of my photos and came across this one that I took when I had a holiday in the wonderful Euro Disney, we had a heat wave that year and it cost me a fortune in cold drinks..

Believe it or not, this is my mums bike! I kid you not, she’s in her 60s and just loves to get on this and go tearing off up the road. But at the moment she is suffering from a bad back, so guess who had to take it for a spin today just to keep it running smoothly? Me, it’s a good job I know how to ride the thing
