These globe sculptures were all along the waterfront in Chicago. I wish I'd had more time to photograph all of them but these are a few of my favourites. They are all on a conservation type theme. I kept getting left behind as I stopped to study each one.

P had a meeting about the Westminster commission. The good news is they have insisted he come to S's wedding in October so I won't have to do the wedding photos on my own. Hooray! Now I can sleep again at night; it will be fun if it's a joint rather than a solo effort.

I have been busy ironing and doing housework today as tomorrow afternoon S and I are off to visit Talj in Leeds for a couple of days. I'm trying to forget I have a job evaluation interview tomorrow morning :(

I also managed to download and edit most of the photos from my Olympus compact and they are on Flickr now. I'm always so pleasantly surprised by the quality of pictures this little camera produces and the editing of them is much easier as they aren't RAW images.

Next weekend is a long one and I'm hoping to sort out the garden - it's looking terrible. Very overgrown and over-saturated.

Happy Catblogging Friday!

I didn't blog yesterday as I had a very, very busy day at work; in fact I worked through my lunch and tea breaks and came home early in order to spend a couple of hours editing some pics I took of the author Katie Fforde when she spoke at the library the other week. I was really nervous about yesterday as I had an event on in the afternoon as well as Bounce & Rhyme but in the end it went well...phew!

I have been asked to photograph a wedding. I'm second choice really as P can't do it because he'll be away taking photos for the commision. It's our niece getting married in late October. I'm terrified! But the good news is...I won't have to be in any of the photos!!

These photos were taken by P. It's Basil pretending to be an ornament on our Welsh dresser. He is feeling a lot better and his personality is developing but he doesn't know how to play...obviously no-one played with him when he was a kitten.

As it's been so cold and miserable we put the heating on and both cats have been loving the radiators; they deserted our laps to lie in the hall. Fickle beasts!

Tonight I'm off to the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, to see "The Tempest" with Pete Postlethwaite. It's a work thing and some of our reading group are going so it should be a good night. TGIF!
