There is a lot about wine that reminds me of our friends on Kaua'i. There were times when it seemed we went through this many corks in a weekend. Saving the corks is an idea that I got from Joe and Chelsae. In addition, we were frequent visitors at different wine tastings around the island. We have some pretty great stories about consuming wine while the four of us travelled Greece as well.
Another picture late for the 52 Weeks... group! The train was more on time than me, lol! This is a picture of people waiting for the Cardiff train to arrive in Fratton Station! Not so many people get on here, as there are only two more stations along the line (Portsmouth and Southsea and Portsmouth Harbour), but if you stay on till the end you can get the ferry to the Isle of Wight!
Fratton is a residential and formerly industrial area of Portsmouth, Hampshire. It consists of mostly Victorian terraced houses, and is typical of the residential areas in the city. In the past it housed a huge railway depot, but this has mostly been dismantled now, making way for a shopping complex and the redevelopment of Portsmouth F.C.'s stadium, Fratton Park.
There is also a modest shopping centre on Fratton Road, called The Bridge, which is dominated by a large Asda supermarket, and in atmosphere reflects the working class roots of the neighbourhood, with local, low-budget shops and cafes.
Fratton is also one of the four railway stations on Portsea Island. Due to its location as the last stop before the main Portsmouth railway station (Portsmouth & Southsea) Fratton has been adopted in naval slang as a euphemism for the withdrawal method of contraception "getting off at Fratton.
This was taken from Wikipedia - lol at the last sentence, I never knew that!!
I finally managed to put my four seasons photo together. You can see the back of my house during the seasons. No snow in winter though.

So, I shot early for the project. I was stumped for an abstract shot. It's not a genre I've worked with as of yet. It's not my favorite type of art in general so it was a struggle to work with it. This is what I came up with. I dropped blue food coloring into water and caught the trail as it sank. the center of the picture is actually the top of the water line and the the form was copied over to the opposite side to create what I came up with here. And, another 52 weeks begins!
I had two ideas for this week's portrait session, and then I didn't feel like doing either of them, so instead I took a picture of what I'm spending most of my time doing right now.
This week I wasn't sure if I wanted to take pictures outside or trying something new in my little studio. I decided to try something different. I went to the dollar store looking for anything that would inspire me. I bought a bag of feathers, glow sticks, and candles. I mainly used the feathers. The biggest issue I had was getting the shutter speed just right. I wanted some detail, but not too much. It was a lot of trail and error.
Week: 32
Circumference: Holding steady at 42".
Belly Button: Still there - but barely
Enjoying: Going to classes with Ryan - at least we're learning the same information. Good conversations with friends.
Feeling: Really good. Better than I did a few weeks ago, actually. Although I think one of my internal organs is squashed up under my right rib. I've had to sit a bit straighter this week to keep pressure off that area.
Movement: Quite a bit. Often visible from the outside. I would describe it as squirmy and sometime it tickles. Not too many painful jabs yet.
Sleep: Varies a lot depending on what I do that day. Going to bed early doesn't seem to help as I just seem to wake up for a couple hours in the middle of the night. When I go to bed later I sleep better.
Food: I've been working through a bottle of pomegranate blueberry juice, which gets her very squirmy. I have been having miso soup as an afternoon snack and bananas with peanut butter in the morning this week. Spicy foods still seem to go down just fine.
Anticipating: Time this weekend to work on the collages I'm making for the room. February.
Another difficult week for me. I spent a good amount of time this week trying to think of something non-cliche for something 'Green.' I had all but given up until i walked into a water fountain show with lights. I initially started taking pictures of the fountain and I gave a silent prayer for the lights on it to turn green. Prayers answered.

Just got home from a fun filled week in Zowada where my Uncle Zircon is King. We were there for the christening of his grandbaby Zelda. The event took place at Bob’s Air Ship Filling Station as all the christenings do. Many of you probably know my Uncle and aren’t even aware of it – do you remember Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? - he created the machine. This year in honor of little Zelda (I’m sure you can see the striking family resemblance – she looks just like 2 of my girls!) Uncle Zircon created a new - but retro – version of Chitty (we just call it Chitty - you certainly don’t think we run around saying Chitty Chitty Bang Bang every time we want to refer to it!). He called this one Walla Walla Bing Bang. After everybody “oo ee oo ah ahed” over it Zircon’s daughter Zippy – who is OBSESSED with flying machines – took it for it’s maiden voyage. Attached is a photo I snapped just as Zippy was appealing to the God of Thunder for a bumpy, event filled ride (ignore the Alice Bug -Zowada is simple overrun with them - attempting to get in the phone booth – she lit just at the right moment). Wish Zippy luck and let me know if you happen to catch sight of her over your town!
It's August and this year has officially flown by.
Sad to say, but it's a little, for the lack of a better word, funny how my brother has suddenly found himself in a long-distance relationship considering that just two years ago, I was in one. Sure, circumstances may be different, the whole situation probably doesn't even translate (we were exactly 12 timezones apart and about 26 hrs by plane; they're 1 timezone and a good 3 hrs apart), and they started off in the same zipcode whereas from the beginning, we were on separate continents.
But that's besides the point.
I hope that if there's anything they've learned from me (allow me to toot my own horn), it's that communication is crucial. There'll be a lot of times where you can't help making a face like Angel is here, but with daily dialogue, time's sure to fly by. I know it did for us.

It's a hard time for Sindy at the moment because I watch nearly every match of the football world cup. And there's more to come, I also watch preliminary reports, match analyses, statistics and media conferences. So my hole day revolves around the world cup. The world cup will end at 11th of July but then Sindy will regain my whole attention ;-)

I have been signed off work with monster back pain so figured I should use the breaks between lying down to catch up on my pregnancy documentation.
Here it is, week 26 :)
This week has been a fucking nightmare.
It doesn't even make sense, I haven't had a lot due for schoolwork, I haven't had crazy stressful nights at work. I mean, I've had crazy deadlines for my freelance stuff, but that shouldn't bring everything down like this.
I just can't get enough sleep.
This is rough.
Hrmmmph...No flowers this time...no walk....no photo shoot...no nothing. Mom kept leaving me and then coming home with her camera and smelling like other dogs. I kept waiting all weekend for our shoot, and this this is all I get.
This weekend scholars took part in "Get Your Feet Wet," a single class that allows them to try out a subject they have little experience in. Topics they could choose from included Sushi Making, Shibori Tie-Dye, and Oreo Stacking.
