Quick share from today

Just a quick share from today as it's past my bedtime (again!!), I had a terrible night's sleep last night due to toiletting issues from BOTH kids, and I'm trying to finish Harry Potter (last book), before the very last one comes out this Saturday.

I'm so hoping that David is home, so that I can shut myself away and read the whole thing!! I'm so hanging out to read it. I've been having dreams about Harry Potter, Hogwarts, etc for the past couple of years. Nothing kinky of course, more that I AM Harry, and the various struggles I've had to overcome.

I just want to go on record now & say I believe Snape is working for Dumbledore & the Order of the Phoenix and he is NOT on He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's side.

I posted a couple of my pics on ILP site which is a site for children's photographers amateur & professional. It's true I have focus & exposure issues & I got some constructive criticism. So now I have some homework. If you're ever interested, ILP has just some of the most AMAZING work on it & I've learnt some really cool tips. I usually frequent the JSO (Just Starting Out) forums and OMG the talent for these so-called 'newbies' is mind-blowing.

Here's an colour pop I've learnt & this is my first try.

Photo taken at Rockingham Beach park this morning when I went to visit Karlene, Leo & Harrison for a play date. Great to see them all. They're all looking well and happy. They'd ridden their bikes down with Harrison in the bike trailer. I wanted to see them as I hadn't caught up for Karlene's birthday last week. It was nice doing it in a park too as the weather was just too fabulous to waste not getting out and about.

On the TT thing, I'll try to wind it back on here a bit as it's really quite monotonous reading huh. It was more for my benefit to look back on in a few weeks time & if I'm finding things tough I can (hopefully) look back & see how far we've come. Anyway, I've now made up a chart for me to keep records. BTW, if you think reading it is monotonous, OMG you should be grateful you're not LIVING it! On that happy note, off to wakey wakey Miss Nikita and try to get her on to the loo before I hit the sack for the night.
