Long weekend!!

Hey Joy!! Finally I have some cool photos!! This weekend is a long weekend in th UK, today (Monday) is a bank holiday, which is great, I am at home relaxing instead of being at work!! Unfortunately, this is the last public holiday for us now until Christmas... :( But I felt pleased with myself because I haven't used any of my days off since I got back from Japan (early May) so I have more than two weeks' holiday to use between now and Christmas! Yay!

Yesterday I went out with a friend and we drove down to the beach! I live about an hour from the beach, but a lot of the beaches are just pebble beaches, so I made my friend drive to one further away because it's sandy!! It was raining when we left my place but we stopped for lunch on the way, and by the time we got there it was all sunny and wonderful!!...



On the windy beach...


We went paddling in the sea... I loved it! I haven't been for ages!!

Enjoying the waves and the sand around my toes...



Bright sunshine all afternoon!

Sitting on the pebbles... I have really bad sunburn on my legs today!! Ow!







After this beach we decided to go to a different beach to see the cliffs there! So actually we went to the beach twice but the second beach was very windy so we didn't go in the water. You have to walk for about half an hour to get from the car park to the cliffs.
















After that long day I was really tired and slept until lunchtime today! I am really happy to have today at home on my own, I spent so much time with my friends recently (it's fun but...) I need some time to myself, to write and think and paint and stay in quietly at home. I'm so glad to have this extra day!!! And the best thing is, we only have to work four days this week and then it'll be the weekend again!! Yay!!!

her mom was brushing her teeth after py got up..
after waking up, she told us to bring her out to see the cows..
i was driving home on friday evening..
i love time when i was driving slowly alone. last friday, i drove very very slow while on the way to my parents... i liked to be alone with myself in my car thinking things out.. i've got so many ideas while driving alone..

Weekend in the Country

Hey Joy!! Sorry again for taking a break... I loved the painting and the scrappies you did! They are so cool! Glad you have been having fun with PT around as well...

At the weekend I went to a party at my friend's house in the country... it's a really big house, really amazing, with great views and a swimming pool in the garden! She invited 5 other people plus me, and her mum and dad were there. We went out to see some old stones (see the photos below) and saw some great views over the countryside. It felt really good to get out of the city for a while!!

My friend's mum keeps pet llamas, they're pretty rare here (and I guess in Thailand too??!) but very cool! They were watching us while we went swimming every morning! I got back into the habit of swimming again since we went at the weekend, so now I am going every morning. It feels really good, but I wish I could go swimming outside again like we did at her house!!

Recently I haven't seen many things to take pictures of (or maybe I just haven't been looking!) but I will try to find some more. This week is quite quiet at work, and we have a three-day-weekend coming up, so I can relax and look forward to that!!! I can't wait!!! So now I'm trying to decide what lovely things to do for those three days...
