mad as a hatter

Kissy kissy
It occurred to me last week when I was blowing up balloons, (you remember, last Saturday night when no one came to my party) that I was void of.... balloonology. So I rectified that this week. Although my new found skill does not surpass exotic, eccentric animals that you may not recognise.....or dogs that like tea..I have friends to play with, and that is what makes me happy.

And btw...I didn't know where the phrase originated before today....I'm kinda thinking they still put mercury in felt

On a side note I'd like to add, if anyone is fretting about doing selfies listen to this.

Yesterday I was asked if I might play dress ups to promote our towns big horse race that is coming up...no not dress like a horse

While my mind was saying no, yes was flowing from my mouth.....if I'd asked of someone the same I'd be kinda be disgruntled if the reply was opposite.

So the hats were gorgeous, the girly titivating was fun.....and then the camera came out..it wasn't mine...no word of a lie...my heart started pumping and I felt hot flushes, and awkward, and very dramatically wanted to run away as I have often done in the past...in photos I don't really exist apart from my 365 album...big time camera shy....I could go on, but I hope I have made the semi point...although you may not like being in front of a camera...I kinda think it's different when it's your own and your in control and you can do what you want your inevitable models to do...and it's a learning process without people getting temperamental at you, how to align things, shapes, flattery, not so flattering...hell...I've got people that have promised to destroy my cameras memory cards if anything should happen to me (supposedly everything that has been shot on that digital card can be retrieved) that could be a lie....I'm not technically sure..but I ain't taking any risks....well that was more than a side note

Exasperating that is one of the main reasons I took on 5+2....please join in and in weeks to come....there is no pressure...no judgment...just self expression in whatever form you choose...but selfie is the only rule....go mad
Play time! Love it!

Fav for the hat alone. - also don't like others taking my photo apart from my best mate, he takes fab shots of me. - automatically pull silly faces to survive. Love the madness

Huge fav from me- for the words and photo. I feel the same about self portraiture!!

Yeah!!! such a great take on going mad.
I think I look terrible in just about every photo of me except for the highly vetted ones I have put on 365. It is great to be your own model.
