The "I have lots of random photos" post

Sometimes you just end up with so many photographs and not enough time to blog about them all. So I though I'd lob them all into one post and fling it out into the blogging world. I'm trying to get it into my head to stop being lazy and make a move about getting a job. But not really knowing where to start is hindering me. That and being deadly scared about my interview to stay in the USA is really putting me off.

On happier notes I've been back to my posing ways with the camera, won a cookbook giveaway from Midwestern Belle which I've been pouring and drooling over ever since it arrived. So far I've whirled up an almond cake and messed around with a lot of the versions of cooking vegs. We were getting to the point of having the same meals every week and its always nice to have a little shake up and try something new! Ed seems to have had a personality transplant lately - that or she's finally become settled again with having Smokey in the apartment. She started avoiding contact with us, there was no more snuggles with us on the sofa at night, she avoided sitting on her tower and bugging either of us when we were on the computer. We now have a very affectionate kitty back which is always nice. Although we're going to have to DIY her a little step up onto her tower [it is rather far and it's probably a fair jump for a little overweight seven year old cat].

Being English I feel compelled to talk about the weather. If anyone knows anything about Yorkshire we don't really have proper summers - a day of sunshine will most often then not be followed with a day or two of rain. I haven't seen rain for over a week and the temperatures keep in the 60 - 85s ºF [15 -  30 ºC]. Being Yorkshire in blood I'm not use to this weather and I'm totally wilting. You always miss what you don't have, right?!

So now I'm off to try and make my own Washi tape from this DIY, watch golf, play with my Smash Book [more on this soon] and carry on my dragonfly crosssitch. Good afternoon, yes?!
