A little bit of sunday sunshine

Guess what? It was sunny yesterday!! And it stayed that way all day long - at last it's beginning to feel a little more like spring. Having said that it did then rain all day today, but at least I was able to absorb enough vitamin D to keep me going until the next sunny day, hopefully it won't be too soon...

Doesn't everything seem just that bit easier and brighter (literally I suppose!) when the sun is shining? I'm terrible with the weather, as soon as it clouds over and starts to drizzle I have the overwhelming urge to curl up with a hot drink and a blanket and hibernate until the sun come out again. Likewise as soon as it gets dark and I've had my dinner I am physically incapable of moving from where I'm sat, it's quite an occupational hazard!!!

So in our little patch of sunshine yesterday I'm proud to announce that I did indeed manage to get to the market before work, after an additional little detour to the bridge at the Cliffe end of the high street to look out over the river in the sunshine.

Whether it's a river or the sea I can't help stopping for a little look, whatever the weather.

My little detour then took me back past a certain coffee shop on way to the market, and eventually the shop, which proved just too hard to resist, hence the distinct lack of photos. Despite my best intentions (by which I the remarkable occurrence of me actually remembering to take my camera somewhere rather than relying on my iPhone), juggling a camera and on overfull frosted mint iced latte (how posh am I?) just proved too much for me. Especially given that I was wearing my new summer uniform and white, yes white leggings - I'm either mad or stupid, can't decide which!

Anyway, just to prove I went, I did manage to get one photo of the market from afar without any spillage...

Not the most exciting shot I know, but at least it proves I was there!

 It was a lovely quiet day at work, most likely due to the gorgeous weather, so I didn't feel quite as knackered as I usually do at the end of the day, giving me some time whilst the sun was still shining to do a bit of project photography at last. I've done a little more work to it since taking the photos, but I'm pleased to say that I shall be revealing my new ongoing project either tomorrow or Wednesday, essay permitting, so keep your eyes peeled if you want to see what I've been up to over the last couple of days' study breaks.

So that's all from me for today, I hope everyone managed to catch at east a little bit of sun this weekend, no matter how fleeting, and didn't find Monday morning too stressful!

Here comes the sun...

At last, a break in the rain clouds and some actual, real, warm sun that lasts more than 10 minutes! Just a pity that I had to spend the day cooped up at work really, but never mind, at east it's starting to feel like spring at last! Having said that I've now definitely set myself up for a rainy day tomorrow now haven't I?

The last week has been a bit of an odd one, and not exactly the most productive one on record. I had originally intended to have Monday off to do a bit of shopping and catch up with myself and then spend the rest of the week doing some exam prep and revision - a different exam every day. As you may have guessed from my post on Tuesday, things didn't quite pan out the way I expected, with life seeming to get in the way at every turn! Never mind, what's done is done and this week wasn't a complete waste of space revision-wise, it just didn't quite match up to how much I was hoping to get done.

On the plus side I did manage to start a new project with the wool I bought the other day, which I will be telling you about very soon, just as soon as I can get outside in the sunshine to take a few 'work in progress' photographs. I thought I had made a good start during what free time I've had, but working it out just now has revealed that I'm still only 0.0138% of the way through. Impressive, huh? Needless to say it is a rather large project, so my efforts so far do seem somewhat insignificant to say the least.

It being a Sunday I've got a shorter day at work tomorrow, so hopefully it will be lovely and sunny again. I don't start work until 10 on Sunday, so when it's a reasonably nice day (even if it is freezing!) I sometimes like to leave for work a little earlier and take a detour to the market that pops up next door to the shop every Sunday - an activity that sometimes needs to be accompanied by a trip to costa on the way, purely for medicinal purposes you have to understand, I have to have something to stop me from freezing over on fresh Sunday mornings. The accompanying caffeine kick and sugar rush can't do much harm either

So I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Another sunny day, a trip to the market and a spot of new project photography, or a dash to work whilst trying to avoid the puddles, a quick glance at the real hardcore stallholders and market-goers who show up whatever the weather and curling up on the sofa after work, complete with wool and a brain & behaviour textbook?

The former sounds much more appealing to me, but either way I hope you all have a lovely relaxed sunday, come rain or shine, and indulge in a little sunbathing/puddle jumping on my behalf.
