It came and it went and it was fun!

I was working today, but fortunately working in a school means lots of people are obsessed with teaching children about special events, so we went outside, we held our pinhole cameras and we watched. And I took my camera.







And you knew I had to show you this!

    You've taken some great photos there! I love the ones of the sun against the dark clouds. It was a strange experience, wasn't it, watching the sun appear to look like the moon for a short while! xx

      And the cold surprised me a lot; it was cold enough to make my breath mist! Eerie light and chill as well!

    You got some good photos of it. I passed lots of children walking to school when I took Archie for his walk this morning and they were all excited about the eclipse, some were taking glasses, others were taking pinhole cameras.

      I was very lucky, and I have a good camera that works well. I'm glad you found school children getting excited about it!

    I'm glad you work in a school where this sort of thing is still considered important. Sadly my Head wanted everyone to stay indoors.......... too much disruption to learning. Grr. Jx

      That makes me cross. Like an eclipse is something that happens every year! If we don't teach young people to stop and appreciate the natural, wonderful phenomenon that is our world, how can we expect them to care for and pass on that love when they're older!!!!

    At our school they put up a roll of white paper around the playground fence and got all the children outside to watch the eclipse. It was after all, something that doesn't happen too often, wasn't it? I was at home in the garden and I don't think it got as dark as when the eclipse happened in August 1999. Very eerie shadows though! xx

    Great record of the eclipse. We opened the blinds at work so we could see how dark it got, but it was so cloudy no possibility of seeing what happened.

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

"small elements of my home that I do not detest and that I have photographed so as to eliminate all traces of dirt and detritus". I love reading all the blogs on my list. I love reading all the house books that I can lay my hands on, ripping them to pieces and sticking them into my inspiration books. I won't get into how much more time I have to actually do things around my house if I don't go on t'internet and how much more money I would have available if I didn't have this programmed need to buy buy buy ..... I admire the true homemakers, I really do. I have a hankering to have a successful business, clean house and a family who can find matching socks without looking in three different places and finally finding the match half way behind the sofa cushion where it's been for three weeks so that I have to wash it before they can wear it and they either have to wear it wet, in which case I worry about pneumonia, or start again on the quest for a pair with ...
