August 30, 2011 - 1:39 pm by tiddlyompompom
This month marks the half way point of my day zero challenge. So, I guess I should technically be half way through my list, right? Um…no. As of last month I have completed 41 out of the 101 things I have to achieve. Actually, that’s not so bad, but it’s definitely not half. You can [...]

Last Friday was World Photography Day (apparently) and to mark the event Tara asked us to take a photo over the weekend. So, being the good girl that I am, I did what I was told. Well, I nearly did. I took my camera out and everything. Turns out I left the battery charging in [...]

That hasn’t left much time for anything else. I wanted you to know that so you aren’t overly surprised that I haven’t done much of my day [...]

Today is Thursday. That means I am a whole day late for the gallery, and will now be completely confused about what day it is for the rest of the week. Ho hum. The theme this week is shapes. I was going to do something with stacking cups, but then inspiration struck. There’s no mistaking [...]

school's (still) out
September 8, 2010 - 12:51 am by tiddlyompompom
Like most children, I looked forward to and longed for the summer holidays. I loved the wind down to the holidays, and the activities week that meant that school finished on Friday.
