Hi there,

Time for another update!

Just been out for a lovely mothers days lunch, I have lots of work to do, but just waiting for the few glasses of wine to wear off before I get to it ;)

I am currently very very keen to do a world trip, and to document it with a polaroid and a blog, I'd also like to take a proper SLR with me, but the main focus would be on the polaroid. I'd like to follow it up on my return with a book on the entire adventure. It's fills me with lots of inspiration, I know I'm not much of a writer, but I would try and do as much of a written accompaniment as possible. I would need to think of a theme though... something like how much we don't know about how other people live, how we are so caught up in our own lives, we have blinkers on, and turn a blind eye to suffering and what hardship really is... Or something like a day in the life of people from different cultures.

I'd love to know what you think of this idea.. give me some feedback please.

Happy St Patricks Day

Well a Happy St Patricks Day to all,

Don't know why I started the blog with that, I have no intention of really celebrating I've work to do!

Anyway, I promised to update with photography and marathon info, so here I am again with the latest.

I have all sorts of photography ideas buzzing round my head, from travel photography (reading a really great book at the moment, highly inspiring) to using an old Holga or Diana camera. I also have thoughts of getting a pretty decent transparency/negative scanner. Would love to scan some of my negatives or other peoples for that matter, and start putting some slide show type things together :) We shall see how things pan out.

Now onto the marathon, bit of depression in this area at the moment, I'm freakin' plagued with injury! On Sunday there I was full of good intentions and ready for the half marathon, or so I thought. I'd been getting a niggle in the right ankle, but it wasn't really stopping me from running, that is until Sunday came around! I literally ran for about 2 minutes and had to come back, there was no way it could stand any sort of impact! So so frustrated, there is swelling and a lot of tenderness, on Sunday I ended up going for a cycle instead as it has low impact. I had to do something to try and keep the fitness levels up. I've been doing all sorts to get the swelling and pain down, from exercises to methylated spirits, yes that's right, what a stupid and useless old wives tale!

Anyway there is still pain in it, and I can't risk it and run on it just yet, I'm just praying that it comes good again. I am keeping positive as my knee (fingers crossed) is ok again. I can't give up, I'm half way through training, and I will be doing this marathon one way or another..

Keep praying for me :) *grabs ice pack*

The World is a pretty dark place right now

Greetings,

Just thought I'd put a post up about all the recent goings on in the news at the moment.

If it wasn't bad enough that we have our own shootings here in Northern Ireland, I've just learned that America and Germany have had 10 people people killed in a random act of violence! Why has the world become such an evil place, I guess it always had it's darkness, it just seems much more apparent to me now. 

   What I have noticed is that there is a real sense of togetherness in NI right now,  no-one wants to see old times returned here, and I just hope we can pull through all of this.

Right gotta get back to work, dragged in for extra hrs today, as staff are sick!! dammit I should have said no, there's freakin' HND work to be done..

Later
