Friday...

...at long, at very long last... It's been a bit of a week, it really has. On the bright side, I have a new icon that I've been waiting since last weekend to use - annoyingly I think my lovely real-life bottle might end up staying sealed tonight, so I shall just have to luxuriate in the icon instead...

On the bright side, the night sky's been rather fab this last week - these photos are a bit rubbish, but they might remind you, if you saw it... *g*


Full moon!

Then one night, I stood marvelling at the incredible brightness of the Evening Star (did you see it this week?!), and then went around to the other side of the house and there was the moon rising - all golden and huge...


Really, the stars are never so bright that I can capture them looking like this on my wee camera without a zoom or anything!

I thought I'd be all relaxed-out after last weekend's laziness, but right now I don't want to move from this room... I'm sleeeeepy... and behind on all things lj and Pros-ish, including working out how make Kompozer work, because I almost had it the other day, but... not quite. And then I was grumpy-sleepy-face-achey for the rest of the week... So this weekend is going to be catching up, I reckon! *g* Catching up whilst still in pyjamas and barely moving from this room... But first perhaps, a quick collapse in front of t'box... *g*

We were driving down the M40 on Monday evening and saw the evening star and the moon just as you describe. Fabulous! And thanks for the pics!

They're gorgeous, aren't they! And oooh - pretty icon! I should have used one of your moon icons for this post really, but the wine was more flavour-of-the-night... *g*

The wine is a fab icon! Did you make it? My autumn/winter moon one is by magic_art. There are some gorgeous icons on that comm.

Noooooo - not in a million years did I make it! I credit makers in brackets after the keyword, and this was made by iconomicon. Every now and then I go trawling icon sites for new ones, and even more rarely I see an icon I like and trace it back just in case it was made for public consumption - and this one was! *g*

Thanks!
*rushes off to investigate site and probably grab wine icon*
I can recommend both roxicons and magic_art. I usedf to visit nomnomicons but it hasn't been updated for over a year, though the posts are still there.
