All caught up. Again.
I felt really grotty last night, all achy, like flu or something coming on. Couldn’t sleep either, which just made it sooo much nicer. 
So this morning, we got on with cutting down the front hedge. ‘Cos there’s nothing like a bit of manual labour to beat flu-like symptoms is there?! We got halfway through and came in for some lunch, and it started chucking it down. Which meant, obviously, that we could get on with a photo prompt catch-up, completely guilt free. Yay! 
Lid
A removable cover for the top of a container. Find a lid in your space today.
Fairly easy for both of us I think….
Basket
A woven container. Find one in your space today.
The only problem with this one was discovering the huge amount of baskets we actually had, and how to decide which one was worthy of a photo….
Bread
A simple food of brown or white colour. Show us bread in your space today.
Olivia beat me to the only (plastic) bread we had in the house….
Furry
Something that is covered in fur or has a fur like appearance. Find something furry in your space today.
Another easy one….
Cheese
A food made of milk curds. Show us cheese in your space.
Milk curds?? This one got tricky, for obvious reasons….us being vegan, for those who didn’t know, although Olivia has wavered on occasion. But visiting the Bristol Vegan Fayre on Saturday has renewed her enthusiasm. Especially stepping inside the PETA tent. She lasted about ten seconds….well, they do go for shock value in their posters….
Anyway, I got the only cheese-like substance in this house, Olivia sneaked into Adam’s room….
Plug
Something to block a hole or a device to make an electrical connection. Find a plug in your space today.
Another frog for me. Olivia wanted the bath plug, but despite our efforts there yesterday, it still remains horribly stained. So I put my foot down at putting photos of our manky bath on display to the general public.
Nugget
A small lump or chunk of a substance. Find a nugget in your space today.
This one was a doddle….
Me
Yourself, who you are. Show us who you are in your space today.
Olivia has absolutely no qualms about her photo being taken. I, on the other hand, do. Soooo…. some might see this as a cheat. I don’t. It says, quite clearly, “Show us who you are in your space today.” I had to go to my bedroom for ‘Basket’ and ‘Nugget’ (which is also where I store all the old photos), so in ‘My Space’ today, was a photo of me. So it’s me in my space. Job done.
You can click on the photos to get a better view, and some more info on the pics.
Just remembered that I’ve forgotten to do my list of 8 things….
Ooh….quick….
Ooh….should I go with Sarah’s rules? 8 things with the number 8 in them? I have a strange feeling I may be struggling with it….
Here goes anyway….
Adam was born in 1988. (Two down, six to go….)
There’s an 8 year gap between Adam and Olivia. (Five more….)
I have 8 toes bigger than the big toes. (Four more….)
Sometimes I wear size 8 shoes. (Three more….)
Once, a long time ago, I was 8 years old. (This is really hard! Does it feel like I’m scraping the barrel?? Oh well, two more….)
I’m halfway to being 80. (That is seriously scary! Cheers Sarah! One more….)
Um….um….um….
I promise, faithfully, hand on heart, that I will get up, really get up, not just wake up, at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning.
No doubt that later on, I’ll think of some mind-blowing things about myself concerning the number 8. Now I’m supposed to tag 8 more people. Bearing in mind that I’ve found it really hard (and quite scary at one point!), I’ll leave it entirely up to you. But let me know if you did it!
LOL, I love all your pics! And Olivia’s ofcause!! But the ME one…… ok,just this once:-))) That 8 stuff is cool…… got you thinking there eh?

erm 8 comes before 9. You haven’t changed a bit!!
What do you use for English language ie grammar,wondering if you were using any particular books at the mo,want a bit of practice.

Great photos, and a fab idea to get your daughter to take the photos too! I might pinch that idea if you don’t mind

2 faves - Maisy and socks. Oh and Her Me. Ace.
I remembered what I was going to say before, when I go to flickr, I can’t see your delightful captions. Are they there?

I love all your “catch-up” photos.

Terrific shots - all of them. It always feels so good to be caught up too!

but hey, you don’t have to get up early any more since I won’t be on your doorstep at the crack of dawn!
Tell Olivia I especially like her ‘me’ photo, too.

I was actually up, dressed and put a wash on by 7:36!! Still got to have breakfast and get washed myself though!
I will pass on photo compliments to Olivia, although she’s having trouble squeezing her head through the door at the moment! Especially with all the comments she got on her “Peg” photo.
Captions should be under the photos, Eleanor. If they’re not….um….er….um….no idea what to suggest.
Sianne, I’m not using any books for grammar (can you tell??), Olivia on the other hand is working her way (slowly, but surely) through Entrancing English (Letts, Key Stage 2, age 10-11). We’ve sort of got carried away with trips out and not actually had much ’sit down and work book time’ lately!
