Quick pictorial catchup

Mmk, so I didn’t blog anything over the festive season but I did manage to snap a few photos
along the way. Here’s a VERY brief look-see into the last couple of weeks …

10 Free textured backgrounds – rocks and trees

Mmk … while I was walking through the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens on Sunday, I decided to snap some rocks and trees and stuff and start a collection of my own background images. And share them with you …

I took the pics with my li’l camera phone and I haven’t touched them at all – zero post production – so they could probably do with a LOT of tweaking (1600px × 1200px).

Anyhoo, here they are – free and gratis if you want to grab them 🙂

If you find them useful at all, please let me know and I’ll keep my eyes open for some more stuff.

Tagged – my workspace visuals

So this my 3rd taggy thingymajig …

The first one is here – 8 Personal Facts (TMI warning)

And the second one is here – 7 Interesting Things About Me (x 2 ‘cos I was tagged twice)

[ I was tagged for Rocking the Daisies, but I think the poor daisies are long dead! ]

Now, here’s the latest, via Cath

My Workspace – what I look at everyday:

I work in the house, in the dining room. My team is in the office outside.
I have to work alone – I get way too distracted otherwise.

My mug – Sir G gave it to me. My smokes are always within easy reach …

My ever-present bottle of water that I refill about 4 x a day, my purse and
my new CD, which turned out to be a waste of time.

My desktop.

The view just past my iMac, through to the lounge.
Those are my printers and one of my backup machines on the left.

Looking to my left. Note my gym equipment being used as a drying rack haha 🙂

And over to my right. That goes through my kitchen and the backdoor.

One times plant, in desperate need of some H2O. That’s my heater – I’d freeze without it!

Another very parched plant …

Mmk – that’s it! I’m not tagging anyone with this – it’s already been around the block,
I was just a bit slow on the uptake.


Crazy food sculptures

Wow, these are really amazing! Jeesh … who thinks of this stuff?? Incredible.

I love my cats

But I hate it when they do this …

I watched this with morbid interest from my (rather dirty) window just a few minutes ago – the little terror was having a ball playing with his fresh kill! Oh well, at least this poor pigeon didn’t land up inside the house like they normally do. No blood and feathers to clean up today, thank goodness.
