A Little Dry Maybe

Another walk to do some shopping. Needed some stuff to get safely on the road with the bike. Took a few photos on the road, thought this one was quite nice. 

My Favourite Tools

So Wednesday, my last shift at work this week. Also probably the last day this week I'm doing my full face makeup. Whey. I only discovered about 2 weeks ago I've been using the wrong foundation brush, so my face now looks slightly better with makeup on. The right tools are important I guess. Also, I've been using BB Cream rather than foundation most days.

On a side note, I'm DONE with the bus. Today, I had an unbelievably rude bus driver, who insisted the stop outside my house wasn't a bus stop and wouldn't have let me on at all if I hadn't run after him with my wallet out. Some snarky remark when I got on, and I was really quite annoyed. No, it really is a bus stop. I've got on there every day this week, and when I'm coming that way going home, the buses always stop there. It's definitely a bus stop and it has been since the first time I visited this area.

Of course another reason to get the bike ready is cost. A return ticket on the bus is £5.30. I'm supposed to work 4 x 4hours a week. That means, if I get the bus both ways every day, that's one day's work just to be able to get there. That's not very good is it.

Photo? Oh iPhone.

The Look

Working evenings today and tomorrow, which means I'm home most of the day. The cat is very happy about that. He likes having me around, and apparently, he comes looking for me when I'm out. Awww.

Getting Ready

Just getting ready for work. You know, putting my face on. Had a bit too much time this morning, got up early to make sure I had a key, and also, didn't know when I was in. Hadn't got my shifts for this week yet when I was in on Thursday, manager phoned me at half 8. OK organisation isn't their strongest point I guess?

The Morning After

Apologies. Missed yesterday. Today I'm hungover. Note to self: avoid shots.

Today I'm really really really not in the mood to be creative, take pictures or do anything. Shame, it's a lovely day, the sky has the most unusual colour (blue) and there's something big and bright up there (sun). Tomorrow it's supposed to be back to normal (rain).

So self-portrait with phone camera, can you tell? That's me and my coffee being miserable together.

I feel that Ice is Slowly Melting

It's still cold and frosty outside, but due to some temperature changes, icicles have formed outside the house. It's quite beautiful, and makes me think maybe there will be an end to this long cold lonely winter. 

Taken with my iPhone on my way to the shop. I needed cat food. 

BAAA?

Soooo here I am. Home from my first shift, that was quite fun but there's A LOT to take in... And since it's still freezing cold, I've changed into my woolies. I usually feel like a bit of a sheep all winter, and tend to drop 2 dress sizes once my thick wool tights come off in spring. Normally I wear my jeans over them.

This was taken with the trial version of Smart Shooter, available online or from the App store. Also pretty decent software I think, basically doing the same thing as DSLR Assistant that I've used before, and allow me to use my camera remotely by shooting via my computer. Such fun.

This was exposure 5, F5.6 and ISO 100, no flash, some photoshop adjustments but not much.
