366 Photos - 137 and 138/366 - Days of days

Yesterday's pic: This is in the far corner of the shed attached to my place, where I don't dare keep much cos the roof is hanging on a broken beam and I'm waiting for it to come down with the next gust of wind or unwary creature that jumps on top of it. Apparently it's good for growing pretty yellow flowers in the shape of a "J" though! *g*

And today's pic: <(about which I said bugger... *g*)

It's been two of those days - I'm of course trying to get half a day ahead of work so that I can leave early on my holiday tomorrow! So naturally I kept dropping things, it rained on my washing, the last two docs were the trickiest in the current assignment, and... well, all of that really... But I am gradually getting caught up on things I need/want to do before I leave. Emails are part of my catching up tomorrow, and so is lj! I should tonight, but I'm tired, and I don't want melty eyes tomorrow if I can help it...

Still thinking of minori_k too. I emailed lj yesterday, and heard back very quickly today to say that they'd put her lj into memorial status. A bit presumptuous of me, maybe, but I knew how to do it from taverymate's lj, and it seemed like a good thing to do. So that bit of her is there for us. And it's been so nice to see her pictures on lj today, in people's happy memories. Here's to many more...

366 Photos - 139/366 - Foreign Lands (aka holidaaaaaaaay!)

Okay, first things first - my 366 post for today - from foreign lands... *g* I got my half-day's work done afap (as fast as possible *g*), and started throwing things into bags and tidying up. Turned on Gavin the Garmin (may not catch on, especially as my satnave has a female voice, but we'll see. More than the average sex appeal? *g*) and set the address for... my destination! *g* I then ignored many of the directions, but I must admit to appreciating it at the bit to the motorway that I always mess up - perhaps unsurprisingly, if the way you're really supposed to go is down all those tiny lanes...
...where mists rise from the path ahead of you... (it really did - there'd just been a downpour of rain, and then this! *g*)

But eventually I went over a very big bridge into blue skies, waited ages in a very big eight-lane queue for the toll booths (thinking blimey- £6.60!), was reminded of what rush hour traffic is like on motorways and in cities, and then finally also reminded that it was worth it to finally arrive in - Cardiff! ( How pretty is that? )
