An evening on the beach at Beg-Meil.

It stopped raining long enough for the kids to have some fun:

hitting the beach (150/365)

de haut en bas sur la carrousel (149/365)

we're all going on a summer holiday (148/365)

Serentity (2010:20/52)

My advice to my younger self? Don't really know if I'd listen, but I'd say things tend to work out in the end.

My motto:

I strive for
the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.

aka choose your battles....

(the photo has notes, which you can see if you click through to flickr)

(135/365) (2010:15/52 - catch up)

2010: The year week took photos week 15, favourite movie shot (I'm catching up on my missed assignments)

This isn't especially my favourite shot from a movie but it's certainly the first that sprang to mind. I tried to think of other ones but I kept coming back to this. I love his expression, I was thinking 'how do I ask a 3 year old to look like a toy' when he pulled this blank look :)

Friday!!! (134/365)

Dan gave me a free pass this evening so headed to the cinema and felt like a grown up

Whipping piccadilly (133/365)

(132/365)

I missed this week's 2010:TYWTP assignment on "being 18". I've been thinking about it a lot and still plan to catch up, but in the meantime here's a photo of me not having been 18 for 16 years... Ugh.

and there we have it (131/365)

It's been a really interesting few days, and there will be more to come but here we go.

station blues (130/365)

Ps. Happy 50th birthday Bono

(129/365) (X)

I forgot to take photo on Sunday.

Well, I took one just like this but I deleted it, I didn't realise until the day after, so here it is recreated. My first miss since 1 January, I'm really annoyed but I'm going to ignore it. This time.

(128/365)

Happy Birthday Mum (127/365)

For tomorrow really but we went over for an early birthday tea. Dan made the cake, and I managed to have a diet-sized slice :)

(sooc)

did you do your bit? (126/365)

feeling neglected (125/365)

These beauties are just gathering dust at the minute. I need to get one of them fixed (still) but never have the time. At least wih my phone I can take, process and uplaod wherever I am.

I have to get back in the habit of taking stuff earlier though. Too many 10.30pm shots this week...

Don't let him fool you (124/365)

I spent nearly an hour and a half trying to get him to bed this evening. We've no idea what's going on at the moment but we wish it would stop....

evening stroll (123/365)

This is probably some cess pit for all I know but it looked all peaceful and pretty this evening

Be calm (2010:17/52) (122/365)

2010: The year we took photos, week 17 assignment - Be calm by Fun

This song sounds like what I'd imagine a panic attack to feel like, so that led me to thinking of calming down by breathing through a paper bag.

Do you know how hard it is to get hold of a paper bag in England?

Anyway you should check out the song, it's really good.

wagamamayumyum (121/365)

Had a lovely evening with the family: train to Manchester, food at Wagamama's, watching the rest going on the ferris wheel and train back.
