Weekend

Another dull day. I did get up and go for a walk. It was really calm after the winds yesterday. It was quite peaceful too. Usually Saturdays are quite busy. I suppose it was the dull weather, chilly temps and chance of snow again. I didn't mind. It's nice when it's quiet. 

Husband and son went out this afternoon, and I took advantage of the empty house to get a bit of sorting and reorganising done. I feel quite productive - especially for a Saturday lol. I also took a nice long bath while they were gone. 

As I write this, it's snowing a bit outside. I'm hoping there isn't too much of it so we can go out in the morning. The winds are supposed to be back tomorrow and I'm hoping to go up the lakeshore to take some photos of one of the lighthouses in the wind. Fingers crossed that the weather will co-operate. It's hit and miss in the winter. I don't think the weather people really know what it's going to do. I think part of that is being so close to the lakeshore and the lake-effect snow showers that come with it. 

Things that made me smile today




A peaceful start to the day




A nice bath




Reading through my favourite magazines - decluttering them as I go - and having a chocolate (or two!)

Have you got plans for the weekend?

 It was an okay day today. 

I walked with my friend early on. The weather wasn't too bad this morning (still below freezing) and the main roads were fairly clear. After my walk I had a couple of errands to run and some housework to get done. So nothing too much. I should have done more sorting but I didn't. 

This evening I sat and watched some television with husband and worked on some photos. I'm not sure what tomorrow will hold. I think we are taking a break tomorrow from Jane's as MIL as some things at her house to get done and I know that there are things at mine that need to be taken care of. It is supposed to be sunny in the morning but very cold. I'm not going for an early walk but instead will try freezing some bubbles. I managed to do it the other day but the light outside, and background for that matter, are not very good so I hoping that as the sun rises I might (not guaranteed) get some colour coming over the back garden and it will help with the lighting. 

The other day I had a couple of sort ofs


And more than a few pops!

My 27//365 Phone Photo Things That Make Me Smile are the two magazines I treated myself to with some Christmas money today. 

I have been doing really well on my low spend month. It really helps that the roads are bad and I don't want to drive lol. 

These are probably older issues (last months in the UK I think) but I am glad that I can at least get them here even if they are a little pricey! Reminds me of home and the photography one always has great articles and ideas.
