I took part in Photo an Hour on Saturday! Here's what I got up to.
10am: Having woken up late at 9.30am after not setting an alarm clock (a bliss), I went downstairs to put the washing machine on, take down and fold the last lots of washing, make myself a cup of tea and went back to bed to read my book, The Train to Impossible Places
11am: Having hung the washing up, ahrgh, it seems to be 11am and I was eating Avocado on a Sesame seed bagel for breakfast!
12pm: After the shower, I was getting dressed and looking out the window at the garden, admiring the Cherry Blossom.
1pm: Having wrapped up 2 parcels, I headed out on my bike to town to the post office. This was highly annoying as the man in the post office didn't know how to do an International Tracked and Signed for parcel so it took a while. Also visited the bakery to get some bread.
2pm: Home having come home via the Chipshop. I bought a piece of Southern Fried chicken and a half portion of chips which I ate with 2 slices of the delicious bread from the bakery. Along with tea, I set out a choice of reading material- my book and the English Heritage magazine that came in the post.
3pm: Hanging the next lot of washing out and a bit of pottering round the garden including filling the bird feeders.
4pm: Finally practising my flute for tonight's concert. Tackling Ian Clarke's Zoom Tube trying not to kill my ears at the Top, top, top F#s!
5pm: Irritatingly, discovered that despite asking for it, the man in the post office had NOT given me my Proof of Postage certificate and given I was sending a huge parcel of Cosplay clothes to my friend in Germany who had used my address to send things to, I was completely paranoid so I headed back into town to the post office. He handed it to me as I came in with no explanation of why he hadn't given it to me. Even more paranoid. Now at 5pm back to practising Zoom Tube- going over my Quarter Tone scale over and over again!
6pm: Stowing away the 8 packets of Pickled Onion Space Raiders I had picked up in the Post Office that were reduced to 5p each for after Lent. If I don't, CBC will eat them whilst berating me on how unhealthy and bad for me these crisps are. He doesn't quite get the hypocrisy of this!
7pm (well actually 6.30pm): Ready and dressed for my conceert! Wearing this gorgeous Monsoon Jacquard silk dress I picked up in the charity shop a year ago but not actually worn yet!!
8pm: No photo. Disaster! We arrived at the church to discover I HAD FORGOTTEN MY FLUTE CASE!!!!! We had to hurry home and get it and return to the concert. At 8pm, I think I was back and practising my flute! The concert went well!
9pm: Waiting in the Indian Takeaway for some Dhal and rice!
10pm: No photo: I think I was watching Neighbours on Channel 5od!
11pm: Just coming upstairs to bed. CBC already asleep. Pinky is waiting for me!
Well, that's my incredibly sedentary day (apart from the 5.5 miles cycling and practice!)
What did you do this weekend? More about what I did on Sunday too!

That Monsoon dress is beautiful, what a brilliant fit and a fab find.
ReplyDeleteGlad the concert went well. I love Pinky and am craving dhal right now! x
PS International tracked postage is a bit of a waste of money, it only tracks a parcel while it's in the UK.
Yikes!! When I read that you FORGOT YOUR CASE, I nearly had a panic attack myself. That's a musician's worst nightmare!! Except maybe dreaming that you're performing in your PJs or something :) I'm so glad you got back in time and the concert went well. Your dress is lovely. Sounds like a productive day to me!
ReplyDeleteI would say you had a very productive Saturday. I hope you didn't have to drive too far to fetch your flute and that you made it to the concert in time. I like your blue dress. Nice to see your garden in bloom.
ReplyDeleteI hope your Monday goes well.
Hugs, Julia
I like these posts. I must try to do one myself. Maybe tomorrow or one day this week on my week off.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of Photo an Hour, but I know I would be hopeless at it. I'm amazed that you thought to take photograph throughout your busy day. Love the dress, what a find! xxx
ReplyDeleteLove your dress and this post. I said I'm going to make one of these for such a long time because I love them.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy this kind of posts. It's fun seeing a day summed up in photographs. You look beautiful in that dress btw. Fun to learn about your weekend. I worked on Sunday, and as I commute to work now I didn't have much time for other things. I spent a lot of time blogging on Saturday. I also went on a little trip last Saturday, so that was lovely.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a busy, but productive day! I hope the parcel reaches its destination and then you'll have peace of mind about that. I had to post some important documents somewhere in the UK on Saturday so know about tracking. The person behind the counter was helpful, but I shall be pleased to know that the mail has arrived safely. What caught my eye in your photo account of your day is your garden. What a lovely one you have with great views of the countryside at the bottom of it! Have a good rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress!
ReplyDeleteThat book is supposed to be good. I'll probably get round to it in about four years when everyone else has already read it. Always late to the party 😂
I'm glad you managed to get your flute in time .
Sedentary? I think not!! It was fun to "watch" you through the day. :-)
ReplyDeleteI started the day reading in bed and having a late breakfast too!
