It’s been a busy day here today as we had family over for a festive tea, so Phil was doing tidying and I was doing cooking. No time for photo’s of my magnificent spread before it got eaten 😀 and as it’s late~ish now have just taken a shot of the globe lamp in our conservatory.
The weather tonight is even worse than when we had Storm Barbara. Â This I presume is Storm Connor, which wasn’t supposed to affect us much but it is, so I am staying in the warm. Â Running out of lights to shoot indoors, so made a tea~light fest of most of my candle holders.
Into t he home stretch now, 6 days left. Â I saved my Christmas Tree lights for today’s post, hope everyone is having a fab day.
To all my Wordypeep  followers, especially those who are following my 366, thanks for your encouragement and comments 🙂
Storm Barbara started on us about 12 midday and we thought it was a bit of a poor show to start with.  Phil and I went out dropping cards off to relatives and having cups of coffee with all, and by the time we drove home we were in the thick of it, Barbara was definitely mean and feisty.  So we are home now and warm and toasty while the wind gusts about and sporadic episodes of lashing rain come and go. Definitely not a night to  venture forth with a camera, well at least not if you are a wimp like me, so made do with the water feature in my conservatory.
When Phil is on a late shift and I am on an early, or when he’s on an early shift and I am off so want to stay up reading, or if I get insomnia and don’t want to disturb him, I trot off to sleep in the spare room.  When I snuggle down, and turn off the lights, this is what I can see 🙂
better embiggened 🙂
Whist trawling the world wide web for inspiration I came a cross a similar shot to this that I’ve done, though of course did my own take on it.
Cheers!
For the past 3 years we’ve had a pair of Robins visit our garden and The Happy Eater tree, but this year have hardly seen them.  Today though Phil spotted this little robin jumping from the car window ledge onto the mirror back and forth, we think he thought there was another robin in it!  He seems to be alone so am not sure if this is one of the pair and the spouse has died or if this one is a different one all together.
this next one’s a bit out of focus but you can see his reflections in the mirror and window,
and my shot for today~
More messing around with candles and christmas tree lights, made a heart shape bokeh card for this one 🙂
I bought these tea light holders a long time ago, can’t remember where. Â I don’t have a clue what the characters mean, hope they are not rude!
edit- found the right hand one means ‘love’ and left one is ‘happiness’
Golden Balls! 🙂
This took forbloodyever!  Haven’t been writing much as am getting my photo’s done quite late, inspire of it getting dark early. Also lots of shenanigans going on as the Ipernity website is shutting down in a couple of months and the challenge group on Sundays that I help run is needing a new home.  It’s  very difficult to find somewhere that works for us, and we’ve whittled it down to either Facebook (urk) or Fotoblur, neither of which is ideal.  I  have a Flickr account that I use now and then, so all is not lost regarding saving photo’s, just that the lead admin of the group can’t use it, so it’s not an option for the group, which is a bummer as it works for everyone else in the group. We’ve been together for a long time, and become virtual friends, and whichever site we choose, we’ll lose people, as some can’t bear Facebook and others just don’t want to start in a new place. But that’s the nature of the internet, and plus ca change and all that.
