Hows everyone’s weekend going? I have been shopping for clothes at Monks Cross in York with my sister and spent a lot of money in New Look.  I got a few tops for my new job, smart yet casual. After that we headed to Evans and Dorthery Perkins where I bought a shirt and a wasitcoat. In amongst the clothes shopping I was supposed to be looking for a new pair of shoes but when we got to TK Max I got some new trainers because I think mine have seen better days.

When I saw that they had Ecko Red trainers there I just couldn’t resist and got two pairs, one black and red the other white and blue. After that we headed to pick up the laptop that Jono had reserved at PC World – our old one has lasted 6 years and has been though some rough times so we thought it best to retire the old girl and get a new one.

With Jono doing all his little projects and me doing Flickr work and this blog it was time to get either a second computer or a laptop. So we got the laptop and its very shiny and fast. We also had a bit of a shuffle of the study/craft room aswell to fit my good old blue chair so I have somewhere to sit and blog.

So after moving the computer we had a whole corner ready for my chair to sit in. As you can see my craft desk is as tidy as ever! With everything now plugged in and working it was time to lug the chair upstairs which was a lot easier then I thought it was going to be, I thought that it was a lot heavier then it actually is. I’m so very happy with my little blog corner, its nice to have somewhere to just sit and type now instead of being sat at a desk, which is not always inspiring to type at.

After getting the chair and room sorted we then headed to Jono’s parents for a BBQ, I took my camera with me to get some shots of the garden in bloom aswell. There were some beautiful colours in that garden this year and some flowers that I dont remember from last year. With this first photo I must  have taken at least a dozen shots to try and get the angle I wanted with the right amount of depth of field. I just loved the pink of this flower.

Wandering round the garden I found this beautiful bunch of tiny white flowers. They were so small and cute I just had to go for the bokeh shot and I think that it came out great, I love the effect it has on the photo and with a bit of softening in Lightroom gave it a really dreamy effect.

And last but not least I just had to get a shot of their cat Lexi, who was laid out in the heat that didn’t agree with her. The way that she laid just reminded me of Lolcats.

I hope you’re all enjoying the sun and I’m going to Brimham Rocks tomorrow so I shall share some pictures, also have a look on my flickr stream because I’ll be putting a few up tomorrow from todays venture into the garden.

See you later!
