If you’re a long-time reader of this blog then you may notice I’ve swatched this nail polish before. However, it’s such a favourite I think it deserves another outing. I’ve no...
I haven’t quite had the lazy Sunday I was hoping for today, but I did enjoy quite a substantial lie-in this morning and I did get quite a few things done this afternoon. I haven’t had the...
Not exactly a classic picture, but it manages to sum up the day I’ve had. This evening we’ve had a gorgeous barbecue, drunk a couple of bottles of sparkling wine and watched Eurovision. W...
This beauty was on offer at the supermarket, and given that I have a weekend of barbecues and sitting in the garden lined up, it seemed rude not to indulge!
Glazed terracotta heart – a sweet little detail.
It’s Wednesday, so I’ve had my photography class with Iain Green again. I’m jealous of his life as a professional wildlife photographer – who wouldn’t want this as an of...
My night-time skincare regime has always been a little on the basic side, but recently I’ve been making more of an effort to look after my skin whilst I’m asleep, rather than just giving ...
I’m always looking out for where my next photo of the day will come from, and these flowers growing over a wall caught my eye as Dan and I walked to the pub this evening. No filters, no post-pr...
I did it! As I had suggested yesterday, I really wasn’t sure how I was going to feel on race day, and I hadn’t decided whether I was going to run or walk the route. As it happened, I went...
Today’s preparation has been less than ideal due to a migraine, but at least spending a lot of the day asleep has meant I’ve stayed off my feet which is a plus! Really not sure how the ra...
This super striking photo made it to the front of The Times today, so I thought I’d share it with you to commemorate the passing of someone so influential.
My nails have been au naturel for a couple of weeks now, so this sparkly Models Own lilac is just the ticket to liven them up again.
I have mentioned local wildlife photographer Iain Green a few times in my posts in the past; I participated in a day-long workshop with him just over a year ago, and a print of his is hanging in my h...
We have had the weirdest weather here this evening, but being the dedicated artist (HA!) I am, I dashed out in the hail to get some shots of the crazy elements at work. I hope my poor hydrangea doesn...
I’ve spent the evening doing very boring things like renewing my tax disc and looking at our home insurance which is due for renewal, so haven’t had time to take a photo today. So instead...
Donna and Guy came over for dinner and a catch-up last night, so it was mainly all about beer, Chinese food and watching The Ides of March - which was an amazing film, incidentally. Donna is that fri...
Napkins are one of life’s necessities, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have swag like these stag ones I picked up at Paperchase a little while ago!
Technically I haven’t been to bed yet, so can I still call this ‘A Photo A Day’?! I know it’s just a little after midnight, but some nights it’s harder to pull it all to...
This is a Frozen Strawberry Margarita, which I’m really not sure is a real cocktail. All the same, it made for a rather pleasant end to Mexican night with my fellow trainees at work!
I actually bought American Psycho last September but haven’t got round to reading it yet. Dan has just started it, and if it gets the seal of approval from him, then it’ll be next on my t...
My second week of new job training started today and I’m currently sat on the sofa reading this Which? Essential Guide for homework. There are lots of similarities between finance and legal ser...
I’m sure the weather today has disappointed those looking to enjoy the great outdoors this Bank Holiday weekend, but it’s suited me just fine. Dan and I have caught up on some US TV episo...
So I wasn’t feeling the 10k run I told you about on Friday, but I set out anyway, but it only took me a mile to realise that I wasn’t feeling quite right. Rather than giving up, I decided...
I’ve had a lovely family day today, heading to Cardiff with Mama Thorne to catch up with family. We also had lunch with my godmother and her daughter, who gave Dan and I this beautiful vase as ...
With just over two weeks to go until the race, today is the day my race number has arrived. This Sunday will see me attempt to run the full 10k distance so naturally I have allocated several hours fo...
… No, not the show with Zooey Deschanel in it – although I do love that show – I’m talking about me being the new girl at work. Like the keener I am I have my pencil case pack...
Today took an unexpected turn for the tough fairly late in proceedings, but sometimes a chat with the family, a cold beer and brand new Traffic Cops and The Apprentice on television is all you need.
Although a carnival mask in the Venetian style, with a picture of the Ponte di Rialto on it, this mask was actually a gift bought by Mama Thorne when she visited Florence last summer. Having visited ...
Knackered and lopsided tonight, due to a bad night’s sleep all scrunched up with nerves. Flicking through magazines and catching up with some television has been all I’m fit for, so I thi...
I’ve got my pencil case ready, my bag is packed and my outfit is hung on the spare room door in readiness. I’ve worked for the same firm for all of my adult life, but tomorrow sees me com...
