The last analogue rebel, her broom and her toy camera

 I swept my driveway with my Mum's witch's-style broom this evening!  I gained many strange-looks!  It's brilliant as it doesnt' get caked-up with debris like normal brooms, it's sturdy and it means business!  I thought of posing with it in these shots but somehow forgot!!! My drive was shockingly full of rubbish- wretched foxes,loathsome litter-louts and wind!!!

 I thought I'd play with the fun modes on my new camera.  This mode is called 'Toy camera'- it darkens the edges of the photos, which I feel gives it that retro look.  I couldn't fathom why on earth it was taking such wonky shots like above (there were several!) and then realised I'd pressed the zoom!!!  Gives me a chance to shower some love on my brogues!

 My sister and Dad were talking to me about changing my TV to digital or getting a box.  Yep, I'm one of the last analogue rebels! I resent being made to change to digital, I like my easy to use TV with the ability to just press the channel number and only have to press up through 5.  I like the grainy quality of it!!!  My sister kep on saying, "But you'll have to get one."  Yes, I guess I will, but I'd like to hold out for a little while (even though the license fee-hmmmm, maybe she's got a point!).  I feel like the TV equivalent of Highlander! "Yee kannee meke me change oover tae digital!"  Channelling my inner Sean Connery!!!

I didn't say anything on my blog but my sister had a bit of a scare with a lump in her breast and had to see the consultant today. I got my prayer-warriors on the case last week when she told me and thank God, it turned out to be nothing menacing.   As my colleague said to me today, "How would I cope without being able to pray?"  Indeed.   Thank God for false-alarms and wonderful sisters.. If you are in the habit of praying, please could you pray for her job situation now. She's having a rough time of it there and I pray that they will be sympathetic to her needs as a mother.

Hugs to you all!
