What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday? #274

Last Wednesday my view looked like this. We were about a third of the way up Ben Nevis at the time and I was photo bombed by a dog.*

This week the kitchen table is empty and there has been no time for crafting, of any kind, since we got back from Scotland. Luckily I’d prepared for my first card making class of the term before the children broke up.

We made this little box. Pink and ivory with a bit of kraft coloured ink and seam binding. One of my ladies was so chuffed with hers that she’s going to make them for her daughter’s wedding favours next year. I’m pretty chuffed with that.

Today I am going school shoe shopping with my girl, once my boy gets home with his timetable for the year ahead. Fingers crossed that all is as he expects. It will be the first time he hasn’t received it two weeks ahead of the start of term. Something the school do for children on the spectrum. I’ll be holding my breath ‘til then.

If it’s actual desks you want to see, then head on over to Julia’s place. You’ll be spoilt for choice.

Me on Monday

Can it really be September already? It’s that second fresh start of the year and my favourite month of all. Back to reality today. A class to prepare for tomorrow and the last few days of freedom for the children before Back to School on Thursday.

It was a 6am harbour wall walking, sunrise capturing*, farewell to Maidens waving.

Eight hours of motorway driving, wind farm admiring (yes, I love them), holdall unpacking, washing machine loading/unloading (more than once), pizza eating, loom band weaving (late to the party here) and just chillin’ sort of weekend.

How was yours?

Joining in with Sian today.

Catching up with the Doctor

We’re back from our week in Scotland. It would seem we had the better end of the deal with the weather. Glorious sunshine every day, except yesterday. We arrived home this afternoon, unloaded the car and put the kettle on, ready to catch up with the first of the new series of Doctor Who.

Imagine our surprise when they turned up in Glasgow at the end of the episode. I think they left something behind! This is a contender for #10 in the Scavenger Hunt: A photo bomb. The definition given is a lurker in the background and this chap walked right into the front of the shot. It was still a surprise.

We discovered later why the Doctor was there. This dalek may get a little Rusty.

Feedly appears to have had a bit of a makeover, while I’ve been away and there are an alarming number of unread posts. I’ll be having a catch up with all of you over the next couple of days. Have a great weekend.

Summer Scavenger Hunt 2014

I’m joining in with Rinda’s brilliant Photo Scavenger Hunt again this year. It will be my third time. Although it’s been up and running since early June, I chose to save it for the Summer holidays. We’re a week into them now and I’ve taken my first shot.

20. A bus with a picture painted on its sides.

Strictly speaking (so The Mechanic informs me) this is a coach, but hey, I’ll settle for it.

I do have another, taken before the start of the Summer holidays and I’ve shared it on my blog before, but I just love this shot so forgive me.

21. A photograph of you with something representing the season.

I’m off the starting blocks with the last two on the list. Although I will be taking another #21, that includes more than my feet! Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has come up with so far.
