Photo Hunters

Saturdays are my friends, how can I fail to love them, especially when my scrummy man can share them with me? Feeling mostly normal now and trying to remember that I still need lots of fluids. Fortunately I am also receiving lots of loving vibes from a certain someone too and that is helping big time. Ooooo how sickening are we??!

We went throught to Falkirk today in our wee car ('Robin') and parked in the Tescos carpark. Had a slight problem with parking but we got there in the end. Our first stop was the wonderful photographers Bill Miller and we picked up our wedding photos that were loooong overdue (our fault, not theirs) and handed in a Thank You note as well because Hunter Miller is an absolutely lovely man and did us proud. Happy Sigh. We went back to the car with our albums (one for each set of parents and one for us) and then headed off again to buy the latest edition of LK! and some work troos for me. Hubby wanted some trousers too (men's ones though ;) ) but M&S did not have any to match his suit jacket in his size. We both declared our rumbling tummies after that fruitless search (no pun intended), so we headed to our favourite cafe in Falkirk, The Coffee Consortium, for rolls and saucage. I had a fried egg in mine too. Yumaroonie. Yes that's a word.

While we were in the Cafe I decided that we should have a wee saunter around the charity shop across the street, so we did after we had finished all the milk in our jug and downed so much tea I felt waterlogged (mmm). I managed to pick up a set of 4 dpns and two straight sets of needles and they were only going to charge me £1.50. I put the same again into the box because I had been going to buy a bag for £3.99 but it didn't have a zip to keep out the rain so would have been no use as a knitting tote. I forgot to mention that I managed to get my work troos for a mere fiver from Dorothy Perkins too, so I was feeling elated!

Hubby then wanted a sponge and bucket for the car (maaaan it needs a wash) so we hopped over to Woolies, unfortunately we couldn't find a nice ironing board cover that was elasticated, however. How will we survive. Then we went back to the car, dropped stuff off again, quickly whizzed around Tescos and then headed home.

We looked through all of the albums and the pictures are fab-u-lous. It all seems like such a gorgeous fairytale. We asked for a few in black and white and they came out really well. Hubby made me a cheese sandwich and I tried to read a bit sitting on the bed afterwards but the usual happened and next thing I knew it was dinnertime and hubby was cooking with Planet Rock blaring away in the kitchen - right under where I was trying to get some shuteye! It is hard to be mad with a man who cooks for you with no complaints though, so I just rescued the washing and hung it up and tried to make faces at my reflection in the wardrobe doors to come round a bit. I am blaming my sleepyness on the anti-bs as I only finished them yesterday. It is nothing to do with the fact I hardly got any sleep due to bad thoughts last night. I'm my own worst enemy sometimes (read 'most of the time').

So here I am after some good yum and two episodes of Bones Season I, tapping away. I have crocheted a little more of the chick amigurumi I started the other day and I hope to get a bit more of that done this evening. And some forum surfing. Other than that probably more Bones and tea? It's such a hard life living here.

See ya!
