Photo an Hour :: 26/09/2015



September 29, 2015

Photo an hour! I’m the worst at these. First off, I only ever decide to do one once I see a post on Instagram from Kerri saying she’s doing it. I like playing along with things, and I always see photo an hour as a game. That I’m crap at.

I always seem to pick days where I am around no cellular internet, or as is the case with this particular day, a phone batter at 10% AND no internet in the little town we were hanging out in for a few hours. It’s fine, if I didn’t tell you that, and you don’t follow me on Instagram, then you’d never have known! But I’m too honest for that.
11:00 am :: See that Kerri is participating in a photo an hour on Instagram so I go take a picture of our new yellow wall that I’m unsure of. It’s growing on me, and it’s only small.
12:00 pm :: En route to Bawtry, said internet suck hole. The sun was out and we decided furniture shopping was a better use of our time than doing indoor house things.
1:00 pm :: Rounding up our visit to a very posh (read expensive) furniture shop on Bawtry, which had a whole lot of crystal chandeliers that just won’t look right in our house, darn it.
2:00 pm :: Finding a steam punk sort of warehouse shop with a small show space, but brilliant Union Jack painted stairs.
3:00 pm :: Tired from all the lack of decision making, we filled ourselves up with a full English breakfast, hash brown and all, at a small cafe in Bawtry and headed back home.4:00 pm :: On a walk with Leo, Sarah’s dog. I’m going to make her leave and go places more often so I can go and steal him, I really miss having a dog!
5:00 pm :: Back home and it’s time to get progressing on the massive amounts of DIY in our house. First up, mounting the fireplace surround.
6:00 pm :: The f*%&ing surround has finally made it onto the wall. One hour more than it should take anyone to screw in brackets and mount a fireplace surround. If we weren’t having beer later we may have lost the will to live.
7:00 pm :: Print a few more pictures out to add to ones we already had to go in a gallery frame for the bright yellow wall to tone it down a bit.8:00 pm :: Provisions, sweet sweet provisions. We soon head to Sarah and Carl’s house and I can’t wait the 20 minute walk to get there so have a road beer. Judge away.
9:00 pm :: Beers and the rugby in Sarah’s living room, but her fireplace is much prettier than the rugby game going on.
10:00 pm :: The face of a dog who will never stop trying to get you to throw his ball.
11:00 pm :: In to a game of cards against humanity, a game for horrible people. Also the last photo of the day, I thought it fitting 11-11. Thought I did semi-well there.
I will be so happy when I can stop posting half finished house projects, and can post FINISHED house projects. On the plus side, I did paint the the wall inside of the fireplace surround purple, so at least it looks a little finished, and we hung a painting up. Progress. Now I feel it looks too fancy for our living room though.
 If you can’t have a fancy fireplace though, really what is the point of life?

I will dream of the garlic mashed potatoes and truffle mac and cheese until I have them again. Everything was delicious except the sticky toffee pudding wasn’t anything to write home about, so grab the creme brûlée instead. Go with a friend who will share so you can try more dishes!

This year was one for the books, after starting th This year was one for the books, after starting the adoption process in lockdown 2020, we brought home a 6 year old the end of July and he’s turned our lives upside down and kept us laughing ever since. So this Christmas season was a pretty special one but also draining as there’s so many emotions swirling round this time of year that no one talks about. 

Here’s to more adventures in 2023 and hopefully some more calm moments!
