FLOWER FRIDAY - AT THE RIGHT TIME!

This beautiful Iris, taken in our garden not long after 8 a.m. this morning is specially for my Blip friend, Shirleyray - she knows why!  I was dressed when I took the photograph and even remembered to change from my new lilac slippers into my old gardening shoes!

I took my Panasonic camera and also my iPhone out with me but realise that I need to just take the camera and work with that if I am going to get used to it, so after comparing shots on the computer, I decided to go back out just with the camera and this was the result - this is SOOC and only cropped.

I walked quite a lot yesterday for various reasons but definitely think I need to get myself a Fitbit - I have an app on my phone that measures my steps, and walking at lunchtime for 15 minutes, I had done about 3,500 steps.  However, as Mr. HCB was going to be late back from cricket and we had a Church Meeting to attend, I decided to walk and not wait for him, which took me 30 minutes and at the end of the day, I had only done 6,632 steps.  I’m not that good at maths, but even I know that can’t be right.  I don’t want to get obsessed with walking and steps etc, but it would be good to have a more accurate figure.  Any suggestions for a Fitbit that doesn’t cost too much?

P.S.  After the saga of the slippers yesterday, a very kind friend, who lives in Pakistan, has said she will look in Debenhams over there to see if they have any bright pink ones.  Watch this space!
