wedding video I like.

These videographers have some neat tricks, and live in a country where copywrited music is no issue.

date with Emry

Upon returning to wonderful brown Alberta, I was able to catch up with Shauna and Emry @ market mall. Here are some pics. Emry was born shortly after we returned to the UK.

for those who love puppies

I love puppies. Here are 2 cute ones. A basset hound and a british bulldog playing tug-a-war.

furriness in spades.

These 2 characters make me smile. Still available at the Calgary Humane Centre. I love there markings!

Momentos

When Kev and I moved to UK we decided we would try and live as thriftfully and as simply as we could, buy only what we needed to survive in our house and try to not accumulate much stuff we would have to ship home later. And in some ways we have stayed true to this goal. Currently we have 2 knives, 6 spoons and 3 forks. (from an orginal 8 each set). The rest of our stainless steel items rusted nearly a year ago... We have 2 pots, 1 frying pan, 4 plates, 4 bowls, and 2 strainers... now for the most part we have been able to get by. It is not uncommon however for Kev and I to eat meals out ususing tupperwear lids ect. The one exception to this rule is our mugs. This collection has grown steadily since our first anniversary when we bought our simpsons steins. These mugs have now become dear to us or mainly me and we be coming home with us (the very thing I tried to avoid)....

daffidols and cobble stones

Warm and sunny day in Durham (true rarity) so I walked round the hood and took some pics...

1. Gas station near my house. Doesn't seem high until you remember its pounds/ ltr.

2. Think I mentioned this before but houses here are generally all brick and in a row, what makes them different is there doors.

3. row of flats on the bloody steep hill

4. Sunshine and daffidols!

5. Message of hope in recession.

A New Jackson Pollock

One of the things we looked into when decided where to live in Durham was how much mold was in our household. Not if there is is mold but how much... when we moved to Gilesgate into what some would say a 'luxury flat' we didn't have mold. But its been 2 years since that. This is our current entry way.

spadeface

I have this super odd habit of checking the Calgary Humane Society's website on a daily basis to see which animals are up for adoption. At first it was just to see if there were any sheepdogs or bassets that my family and I would be interested in adopting, then it grew into a curiousity to see which animals would be adopted. The animals that are least likely to be adopted are bunnies (lots of them) and black and white cats. Random I know. Also dogs that are 9+ (who gives up there dog when they're 9!). Anyway one such kitty is Lexi who is 2 but I just call her spadeface. She is so cute, but I live in the UK so it probably won't work out for us... Anyway she has been on the website for 2 months now, so we will have to see what happens.
