Jaffa in the sky.....

I'm going to give you a small insight into the life of this blipper, you will possibly find some of this quite familiar, since we have all done ridiculous things to catch a blip, or have all worried that we had no decent shot come the evening and started desperately searching for something to look inspirational.....or maybe its just me.....anyhoo.....

Get up, not a chance of getting a picture this early, need caffeine and need to team up with the husband to get 4 dogs and 4 kids sorted for the day.

Go to work in the car, see a couple of shots that I find pretty/scenic/cute, but husband is speeding along so shots would have been a blur.

Plough through a shift, no time for stealing a pic.

Whip through supermarket, come home, do jobs, make phone calls etc.

Consider options with the dogs, cute group picture, funny play-fight with pups a possibility, but garden and kitchen surroundings not up to standard to include in a shot (I do live with 4 big lumbering black muddy dogs, 2 teenagers and 2 footballing kids after all).

Sick to death of trying to get a decent picture on usual dog walk round school grounds, not-quite-fully-trained pups spinning around on leads and crabby 11 yr half-blind dog make holding a camera still pretty tough.

Go to the kitchen to help husband make tea, wait wait wait.....there's a glowing gorgeous sunset!!!

Run outside with camera to zoom and get good shot between the houses. Nope, rubbish.

Run upstairs to daughters bedroom, yes she's half undressed getting ready to go out, but I sidestep that to dive onto her bed, wrestle with the blind cord, ignore shrieking daughter shouting "Mummm, get out!!" Start to wildly wave arm out of window to eventually catch above shot.

Totally worth it.

Phew.

And the fun starts again tomorrow.....
