The weather this weekend was beautiful. On Saturday the sun shone and the October light was stunning, highlighting all the gorgeous autumn foliage. It has to be said that I went an itty bitty bit nuts with the camera in my garden.
And on Sunday it rained all day and I went a bit nuts with the camera again!
I truly wish I could afford a decent digital SLR camera so that I can try and take the shots that I see in my head. But all I have is my (very good for what it is) point and shoot IXUS. Maybe if I win the lottery one day...
As well as going bonkers with nature and my camera, I also spent some time sanding and waxing this beautiful oak table I recently acquired. I wasn't too impressed with the original finish (I use the term loosely) so I've been DIYing as usual. The pictures are of the unfinished wood - which is basically four beams of green oak (one is missing in the pics as it's on the workbench for sanding). The weight of the wood keeps them together once made up. I will post a picture of the finished product once I'm satisfied with it.
Trust me - it will be stunning! The bubble wrap won't be staying.

So, not much to say - a little bit to show. I've been doing some fairly creative things in the last couple of months. But I could and should be doing much better. Nothing a swift kick in the pants wouldn't fix I'm sure...oh, and a personal trainer, personal chef and that previously mentioned lottery win.
