Rainy Sunday

It's Sunday...
It's raining...
We didn't leave the house all day...

Chilling on Saturday

Who here is envious of Jazzy Boy - this is what he does best at the weekend! Takes up the whole sofa though!

What I'm Reading...

My morning train. If it's quiet enough you can get a seat with a table. I'm currently reading 'Weekend in Paris' by Robyn Sisman. Romantic yet funny, predictable yet surprising. A fast-paced read which brought plenty of my own memories to the surface. Made me want to write a book about my holiday to Barbados in 1998 and my Summer in Virginia in 2000. Maybe I will.....

Sun Shining on My Work

Beautiful blue sky... wispy white clouds... beautiful architecture... what better building to work in?? My office is the 5th floor of the white building towards the left of the photo.

The M8

On the bus on the way back from Edinburgh one day I was playing about with my phone and captured this cheesy shot. Pretty scenery. :)

The Lunar Eclipse

The first total lunar eclipse in more than three years began at 2018 GMT, with the Moon totally immersed in the shadow of the Earth between 2244 and 2358 GMT. During "totality" the Moon took on a reddish hue; the only light reaching its surface by this stage had been filtered through Earth's atmosphere.

Now for the geeky bit:
Lunar eclipses occur when the Sun, Earth and Moon are in a near-perfect line in space. The Moon travels through the long cone-shaped shadow that the Earth casts in space. At totality, the only light reaching the Moon's surface has been refracted through the Earth's atmosphere. The appearance of the lunar surface varies according to how much dust is in the Earth's upper atmosphere. For example, following major volcanic eruptions, the Moon appears to be a deep red and almost invisible.

It took me ages to set up and get this photo so I hope you all enjoy it! ~Carol~

My Lunch!

I'm mentioned Pret a Manger before... here's my lunch from there today! A brie, tomato and basil baguette with a can of weird herbal detox drink (really yummy!)

We Had a Flat! :o(

Poor wee car... :o( And all because Derek reversed over a bit of tree which blew off in the bad weather! I had to walk to the train station so was late for work!

Jazz Helping with eBay

Here's my guard-cat looking after the eBay parcels to be posted. Pity he's sleeping on the job!

Happy Pay Day

Gotta love when you leave a job and they still send you a back-dated pay rise lol.

My eBay Workstation

Here's where it all happens! My very own little eBay sales counter, post office and dining table all in one *lol*.

Drama at Portland House!

All the info's in the blog post, but here's a photo of the "action"! It wasn't actually that exciting lol, but in the middle of a mundane working day, anything is!

P.S. Pret a Manger in the background is a great place for a fresh sandwich for lunch!

Walking @ Lunch

Today I went out at lunch 'cos I had to get out the office for a bit. As I was walking back, I noticed this massive glass building sticking out of the pretty Glasgow architecture. A modern, contemporary build, or an eye-sore? You decide!

Also, see the restaurant, Bella Italia? That's where Derek and I went out to lunch last week. :o)

Socks Being A Bride

Again, don't ask! Lol. He's Socks and he does whatever he likes, as long as it makes him the funniest kitty in the world! Lol.
