Just how cute is she? I may have taken a lot of photographs over the weekend, around 150 i think, but i got at least one stunner.
This is daisy playing in the long grass of sefton park. She thought it was fantastic. She’s now at the stage where she is sure enough on her feet that walking on the spongy undergrowth was no problem for her; but you have to be careful, when she gets on to the path, she just takes off.
Not my piccie this one, but it’s of my favorite park, infact it looks like it was taken from the bench we always sit at.
Ruth will be holding me back from running down there to take some of my own.
Just to give you a flavor of todays weather…
We drove into this Today; As we weaved around the edge of wales and Cheshire the clouds just sat on the horizon, looking dark and nasty, Until we got to this point. Then all the water just fell out of them. Not a day for a convertible car, I would much rather have our trusty skoda in a rain cloud like this. The bloke we saw on the motorbike looked very wet.
Since Kevin now has a shiny new camera, we can give you some new pictures of Daisy! Hurrah!


So I’ve wasted no time, and transformed my leaving present of vouchers for George Henry Lee, into a shiny new digital camera, and learned a few things along the way.
I’m now the proud owner of a Sony Cybershot DSC-600 (Nice name Sony!), and after a day ? It rocks! Now remember I’m comparing it to a quite old nobrand digital camera, which while good, did have some issues; but the Sony just goes way beyond what I was expecting to get.
One of the reasons for that is the price, which dropped ?20 on the website overnight, and then price in the shop was another ?23 cheaper again. This meant that the camera coupled with a usually quite expensive 512mb memory stick, actually cost me ?10.95 above and beyond my leaving vouchers! I got an outstanding Sony camera for ?10.
The clever dumb balance was then restored on the way home; when I didn’t shut the car boot properly in the car park and we scratched it against the roof when we went down one of the ramps, that has actually left me a bit depressed, because it’s like the time I fixed the toilet only to brake the sink, or as it turns out the other day where I thought I had turned the freezer up, only to later turn it off instead of down.
Still I’m sure I’ll get over it, I’m in between jobs at the moment and my head is a bit spinny (that’s my excuse for now anyway)
So what did we learn?
- George Henry Lee is cheaper in the shop than on the internet, not the other way around
- Don’t let Kevin do anything responsible
when he’s got a new toy ever.
current mood: completely floopy
Before the camera did break I took quite a few images of power lines (maybe that’s why it broke), not because I’m sad or a power line spotter or anything, but because I thought that stuck together they would make quite a cool photopicturethingy.
in-case you are wondering this photo does follow a theme, and is similar to my pier head, and cathedral pictures.
Not much talk of Daisy, recently, so here are some photos to compensate:
This one is Daisy wrapped up against the snow, when it snowed a teensy weensy bit, and we got over excited and went to the Wirral to walk in it.

And this one is Daisy following the new family trend of baby-wearing - the improvised sling is actually one of my scarves, and the baby doll would have stayed in it beautifully if it had been just a little bit tighter.
On the development front, her vocabulary is exploding at the moment - she just keeps pointing at things and telling me what they are. She impressed my sister yesterday by calling her “Aunteee”. Key words of the week also include “bubble” (it comes out “babbow”), which refers to bubble mixture, obviously, but also anything remotely bubble-esque, including balloons and at least one circular window. Also, and my mum tells me that this is developmentally advanced, she’s got the concept of “not” - as in “Not Daddy!” when I’m trying to fob her off onto another parent, and “Not down!” when she wants me to pick her up. She can, when prompted, say “Up, please,” but “Not down” is what comes to her more naturally…
