Quick Peek at the Weekend
I've got a few posts planned already for the week ahead, including a bit more about Sundays adventure to Raglan and the Karioi Classic however I wanted to share a little of what has been happening over the weekend ... before Sunday. It's been go go go! Driving home...
Things I’m Loving
Hallo my friend Friday!! I'm so happy its the end of the week. In fact I'm just happy all over. After 2 weeks, I get to spend this weekend hanging out with Ken. I arrived in Hamilton after work yesterday and we had Date Night at the movies. Christian Bale as Batman...
Photo Friday – Youngster
This weeks Photo Friday: "Youngster" I'm not sure who enjoys the Bouncy Castle more - the kids who get to jump up and down on it or the adults who listen to the peals of laughter and watch the flushed faces having a ball. A speedlight might have improved the lighting...
Simple Steps to a Healthier Life
There are a few blogs I read all the entries on and over the past year or so, Leah's has been one of them. She has now created "Naturally Leah" and rather than create a link, I thought I would ask her if she would like to write a post that ties in quite nicely to the...
That Old Country Feeling
I'm back in the Wairarapa for the weekend. I love being out of the city - back in the region where I was a bought up. While Mom is in the gallery, I'm doing chores and taking the camera along in search of a good landscape or two. But the clouds aren't playing nicely...
Tattoo Thursday
Tomorrow is Tattoo Thursday down at Dr Morse Inc. in Wellington and its safe to say that I am super excited for lots of reasons. I get to see the new studio which Simon and his apprentice Char (Nursey No Mercy) moved in to in June 2012, I get to see my tattoo sisters...
Currently.
I woke up this morning and felt quite yucky. Scratchy throat, headache, bit of a cough. But I dug deep and showered, breakfasted and dressed for work. As I headed out the door, I stopped. I sat on the arm of the chair and actually asked myself out loud "Who am I...
Early Mornings
For the last couple of mornings the news has been full of fog - blanketing our cities, disrupting flights but looking oh so pretty. We dragged ourselves out of bed this morning and went hunting for the sun rising though the fog. There are a few more photographs on my...
The Almost 10kg Treat
Success this morning!! I was starting to get a little frustrated, more than a little upset and a bit bewildered as to why the weight wasn't moving. After re-reading the Cruise chapter, I knew I was doing it right and I just had to be patient. More water, more...
4 Weeks of Dukan
It has been nearly four weeks since I started Dr Dukan's 'diet'. The photograph on the left was taken on Day One - Monday 11 June 2012. We won't go in to my starting weight but I took a photograph to remember and to start recording how my face changes. Almost 4 weeks...
New Zealand Geographic “Southern Exposure”
That is my photograph right there. Third column from the right. The fish - the Blue Eyed Triplefin. This book is to be released in July 2012. Suffice to say, I'm very very very excited!
Photo A Day July
Every couple of months, the Photo A Day challenge from Chantelle at fatmumslim has some real doozies in the list. And this month does! I am hoping it will get me back on track with uploading each day - instead of leaving all the 365's to the weekend and then running...
June 2012 Collage
The shortest day has been and gone - and its now July! We're over half way through the year already. I can't believe how time is flying. Soon it will be getting warmer. I can't wait! the BEST 500 hand ever! planning what to do for the day sunset reflections Moon Face...
Slide on Over Here
I've moved! See the shiny new domain name? I have redirected The Treehouse from a perfectly cosy little environment at wordpress.com to my own domain that I've had for ages and just haven't done anything with. There is still a little bit of tidying up to do but that...
Food, Glorious Food!
One of the most appropriate blog titles I have come up with in a while I think! Last night Ken and I went to the Hamilton Operatic Society's performance of Oliver! starring Richard O'Brien. First of all, if you are not sure who Richard O'Brien is then a walk down...
Rain Drops Are Falling On My Head
What an icky start to the week! It started to rain just as we were leaving Auckland and the weather was pretty wet the whole way down to Hamilton. As soon as I hit Hamilton, it poured down. The photo above was taken with the windscreen wipers on F1 speed! Still, my...
Tuesday Rocks – Last p8
It's painfully obvious that naming a post after a day was a dumb idea. I'm pretty bollocks at the whole regular featured post thing as it is. This was just setting myself up for a fall! I very rarely get this posted written and ready for a Tuesday - any Tuesday...
Nikon V1 Review: First Impressions
I have been loaned the new Nikon V1 to use - and write about - for a couple of weeks. The Nikon V1 is a mirrorless camera which sits between a standard point and shoot and a digital SLR. And it has changeable lenses. What I would like to try is the FT1 mount adapter...
