The rest of the week was mainly routine busyness. I had my hair done for the first time since November so that my unruly mop and darkening roots looked a bit better for this weekend when I am out not once, but twice. I (almost) never ever go out so twice in two nights is a bit mad but the first on Friday is a work do - to the Hutong Chinese restaurant on Chinese New Year at The Shard (couldn't miss that) and the second tonight is a meal out for a friend's 40th. I'm quite looking forward to a quiet night in again on Sunday!
An evening by candlelight due to the powercut - we even read proper books! |
Rather liked this pic I took of some of the candles and I had fun experimenting with different settings on my new camera. |
At last a blue sky and signs of Spring snapped on the school run |
I have been enjoying taking pictures of the birds with big zoom and this little Robin was visiting our bird feeders. |
I adore daffodils and buy them all through the time you can buy them in the supermarket and this is the first bunch of the year - definitely something to feel happy about. |
And another sign of Spring - the first snowdrop. I am so fed up with the rain and desperate for that Spring sunshine |
I have loads of photos from Chinese New Year at the Shard but decided I may do a whole separate post on it if I get time but I had to include the view and the dragon! Kung Hei Fat Choi! |
To see what the rest of the clan have been up to in the last week of the Year of the Snake head on over to the Boy and Me: Kung Hei Fat Choi!
Nothing like a power cut to get you back to basics...I remember them all the time while growing up in Jamaica unfortunately.
