.... and first prize in the knobbly knees contest goes to.......

Another filler. I am really struggling with 365 at the moment. Simply no inspiration or desire to pick up my camera. On the positive side I am really enjoying going through old photographs and editing them in Lightroom 4. I am currently getting to grips with using the adjustment brush - such a powerful tool.

It has been a very busy day, but mostly filled with mundanities (is that a word even?) I went over to my Mum and Dad's and as usual got roped into helping them with some computer problems they are having. It is so funny, they think I am a technological genius - so far from the truth, but the computer to them is still something to be slightly feared, although to be fair to her my Mum is really willing to give it a go. She loves the fact that she is better at it than my Dad.

I am not in the Donks' good books at the moment because due to the terrible weather we have had we have got through more hay than we were expecting and yesterday evening we ran out. We will be picking up more tomorrow. In addition to their straw they were given pony nuts this morning, and have been left out on the grass this evening, but they objected strongly to this and mobbed me all the way back to the gate and stood at there eeyoring loudly as I disappeared up the garden. Honestly, you would think that they were being starved. It's not as if they only eat hay, at this time of the year it makes up about 20% of their diet, but to them it is like sweeties, and they sure do like their sweeties.
I really like this Jan - such a grumpy looking gull !

Haha, too funny Jan! I don't even worry about fillers anymore, I have a ton! They are photos I took myself and like them for one reason or another, so why not post them whenever and wherever I want? :)

Haha! He looks none too pleased to have won the contest.
Love the story about the donks. Obviously they aren't shy about letting you know when they are unhappy with you.
