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!
