Lots of pics of this n that

Kerry is home for a week :o) So now i have all 3 of them arguing and being a pain rather than just two lol...Seriously it is nice to have her here for a wee bit...Exam results come out on tues and our postie doesn't arrive until nearer midday...Which is a pain as Mikey is at respite playscheme and Garath is being assessed for disabled student grant at RGU...How long Garaths assessment will take i dunno...One of my friends her daughters assessment took over 3 hours...I feel like writing a list for him to copy in his handwritting of things that he could need...His memory is so crap, unless academic, that he will forget...Plus am worried he is just going to sit there and mumble and just nod his head instead of speaking to her properly...A PDA or whatever those electronic diary things are called i think he will need...So he can use it instead of his lappy, so he can have everything timetabled into it and set alarms for when he is due somewhere...Anyways this all means neither of the boys are going to be in when their results arrive which is going to be so annoying for me...Also Garath needs to phone his uni to confirm the Masters degree place if he gets the required pass in the higher physics.

In the main the weather has been glorious here...Except on fri morning we had thick haar (sea fog) and rain so we missed the eclipse...And earlier in the week we had lots of haar but it was still warm...I've been taking loads and loads and loads of photos of this, that and loads of stuff...Stuff that people would wonder why i took a pic LOL...But it is all for using for designing from...So things like railings, fancy brickwork and such like i have been clicking away at...Along with loads of flowers, plants, rocks, pebbles, and water droplets on stuff...I've been experimenting with pics of jewellery so they're not dead boring...Not gonna post those as most have been a bit pants...Have posted a couple of pics though of two jewellery items...I still have another 2 to do and am gonna call these ones 'Seasons'...I thought the colours in first one were autumnul so i decided i'd do winter, spring and summer as well...Spring is proving a bit so so as i haven't managed to put colours together am happy with yet...Summer will be bright colours and i know which ones...The only 'colour' am repeating is the clear crystal...I've been pricing kilns and they are horrendously expensive...Like for a small microwave sized one (very small microwave) we're talking at least £500...However i have seen a teensy weird looking table top one that is about size of a sugar bowl that is a lot cheaper...When i say a lot cheaper it is still anything between about £150 and £200...Maybe one day if i can't find anything a lot cheaper 2nd hand...The teensy thing would be fine for doing one off enameled pieces but at same time then all the paraphenalia to go with that costs loads...And i didn't win fridays euromillions or i wouldn't be sat here typing just now LOL

Watched the F1 this afternoon...Hungaroring has to be one of the most boring races on the calendar...And in the main it still was apart from i felt really sorry for Felipe Massa as his car blew up 3 laps from the end whilst he was well in the lead...Andy Murray won his first masters series tennis title today which was brill :o) And i am a true saddo and am looking forward to watching the olympics...Not just the athletics but mainly the swimming, diving, rowing, sailing, cycling...And well just in general
