Tomorrow is an inset day at my daughter's school so that means half term starts here! Woohoo. She is still loving school and I like doing the school run but I think we are both in need of some quality mummy and daughter time. I am also so looking forward to not setting the alarm for a few days.
And here is another flowery photo by me. I know there have been a lot of tulips on here recently but it's my blog and I'll post photographs of tulips if I want to! This is my favourite of the many tulip photos I have taken this week.
Happy half term to all of you with a school holiday coming up!

'Cherry-tree' by Aiva_Adlere
As I type this I am watching the hideous wind and rain outside and hoping that the weather gets better by school pick up time. I am seriously sick of this now. I am actually finding myself jealous of the people who have snow. I am not being greedy. I am not wishing for summer, or even full blown spring just a glimpse of something a bit nicer than this.
Here is a beautiful spring photograph. It's hard not to feel positive when you see blossoms like this. I particularly like this image because the colours manage to be both pastel and also bright and vibrant. Perfect. Now please rain, go away soon.

'jogging' by DM 909
There are two things I've always wanted to be able to do. The first one is drawing. I love being creative. I would love to be able to sit and sketch something or design things or just do clever little doodles. It's all up there in my head, I just can't get in down on paper as I would like to. That's why I like photography so much. I can make pretty pictures without having to pick up a pencil or paintbrush.
And secondly I would love to be able to run. I would love to be able to put on my trainers and just run my stresses away. But I am rubbish. Just a few minutes and I am all out of breath. I think I am relatively healthy and can walk for miles and miles but running I always find difficult.
Anyway the whole point to this is that today I signed up for the 'Race For Life' and I definitely want to run it and not walk it. This scares me some what but I am also excited about taking on this challenge.
This photo seemed particularly apt tonight. These trainers are hiding in the dark just as mine are currently. I love the black and white. It makes the whole thing seem rather dramatic which is how I have been today - a bit of a drama queen going on about how I am no good at running and this might be the end of me! Wish me luck!

'.... Flying back home, yay!!!' By Awesome fallen
It's been a funny old weekend. It's been a bit stressful but also kind of relaxing. It's been productive but I also feel like I've not made a dent in my 'to do' list. It's been fun but we didn't really do much. And I sort of got my lie-in but I also sort of didn't. By that I mean I didn't get out of bed when I woke up but I did have the children running round me making a mess and throwing toys at me. At least I was horizontal I guess. For that reason I can't really work out what kind of a mood I am in tonight other than feeling that my feet are really cold and I should put my slippers on and even though we had a lovely roast dinner earlier I am feeling rather peckish right now and in need of a sneaky snack of some kind.
As that was a rather random piece of writing about my weekend how about a really random photograph that although really brilliant has nothing to do with my weekend other than it rained and I am thinking about holidays as I have a friend who flew off to the Caribbean today. I am not at all jealous. Nope not at all. Not a little bit. Not me.

'Friday night tulips' by Me
As I mentioned yesterday it's been a bit of a long and exhausting week. So much so I was ready for a bit of a moan on here a couple of days ago. Luckily the Internet was playing silly beggers so I didn't get a chance to bore you all with that. Tonight I am on project chill out. Hubby read yesterday's blog post and brought me home some beautiful tulips (as featured here). We've also had Chinese takeaway, white wine and chocolate. I am now snuggled up under the duvet with a little bit of Internet, my knitting and some Friday night telly. Now if I can just wangle a lie in this weekend I might actually begin to feel more human again.
Happy weekend to you all.

'If you had just one more day' by islandgirlsj
For various reasons this week has been very tiring. I honestly feel like I need to go to bed and sleep for a week. Unfortunately that's unlikely to happen so I will be doing second best tomorrow night and ordering takeaway and pouring myself a large glass of wine. It's just a shame it wasn't possible to do that tonight.
Anyway, I think the photo needed here tonight is something lovely and pretty and calming. So what better than a beautiful photo of my favourite flower. I will never get tired of picture of tulips. As proven here they are so photogenic at every single stage of their life cycle.
Hope you are all having a less tiring week than me!

'love is' by Creature Comforts
This weekend my husband and I celebrated being together for seventeen years. It's scary to think it's been that long espcially as I am still waiting to feel like a proper grown up! We had a lovely weekend and even managed to get a babysitter and go out together on Friday night!
I love this picture because it's cute and creative and makes me want to do pretty things with pencil sharpenings.
Happy Anniversary to my wonderful hubby. Love you to the moon and back and then a little bit more x x x
