The little gem

I meant to post these last year, but somehow never got round to it. Some friends of ours who live in the countryside had recently moved, and in their garden was this dilapidated bungalow. It's funny to look at these now as there's a lot of bluey green in our new house... I guess this ramshackle little building spoke to me. We're moving into our new home this weekend! So. Damn. Excited. It'll probably be quiet here on the blog until we're settled in, but you can check in on my Instagram feed until then. See you soon!

A Sunday in April

My cameras are under a layer of dust now, haha. I hope I get to play with them sooooooon.

Yesterday

Poor little blog... I'm not in a picture taking frame of mind at the moment with everything that is happening right now. Not only is there a lot of house stuff going on, but I've also signed up to run a 10K in three week's time (following Isabelle and Kvitter's brilliant training schedule over at DosFamily) and then there's the usual Japanese homework to get on with. Oh, and being a full-time mum, ha! However, yesterday I went into town and had a quiet little read at Nordic Bakery and then met up with my visiting sister for a short blast of sisterly fun. And I made myself take these as I'm totally out of the habit :)

When the light is right

La Maison

To say that this has been a good week is an understatement. We finally got the keys to our new home,  seven long frustrating months after our offer was accepted. But we hung in there and wouldn't give up on it. Seeing the house again after so long was a bit nerve-racking, but I very quickly remembered why we fought so hard for it. It's going to be great! There's some work to be done on it, so we won't be able to move in until the end of May - but at least it's ours now, eh?! Have lovely weekend amigos! 

Sometimes this is what a Saturday looks like

Lomo Quartet

Quick!! I have some time! And here are some recent-ish Lomo pix! I miss my other film cameras that are in storage (hope they're still in one piece)! I'm finding my Lomo a bit too blurry at the moment! Happy Exclamation Mark Day*!

* I made that up (!).

Little Mo pic of the week XVIII

Goodness me. I'm in one of those periods again where I have too much on, and I just can't find the time to blog. But I thought I'd check in to say hello and that all is well; I haven't taken another break! I'll be back as soon as I get on top of things again. Hopefully it won't be too long. Hope you're all well.

A thank you note

Thank you so much for your blog birthday wishes - and how great to get to know you a bit! Having a blog is so one-sided, so it's nice to hear from you like that. Thanks also for the music tips, so much to check out... It's about time my ears heard some new tunes. Happy Easter/Holidays to you all! I'll be back soon with some more Lomo pix. Laters.

My Funny Eye = 5

The blog turned five last week, can you believe it?! Whoah. What can I say? Well, for starters, I can't thank you enough for taking the time and stopping by here in my little space, for the feedback and comments and hellos. It's been so much fun to have somewhere where I can post my pictures and write a few words. 

Now, I'd like to ask you a favour. Tell me a little about yourself (age/where you live/whaddyado) - it's been a while since I did this (or did I ever? I can't remember - five years is a long time). If you want to know more about me here's the Q&A we did here a while back. Also, another favour if you don't mind... One of my New Year's resolutions this year was to listen to more new (or new to me) music, and I'm not doing too well on that front. What is your favourite album or song right now? Mine is this; and it's from three years ago (but newish to me!). It makes me feel like a champ when I listen to it while I run - ha! 

Anyway. You don't have to, but it would be nice to hear about you! And thanks again for coming here. Here's to another five :) 

At the Barbitate

More pictures from last weekend; meeting up with friends and sheltering from the cold in Tate Modern and at the Barbican. Both places work well as indoor playgrounds ;)

Urban geography

A visual blah blah blah

Finally got out this weekend, after a long week of being housebound. On Saturday a friend and I went to see the Becoming Picasso exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery, which was very small and very good. If you're in town, I recommend you go - and the rest of the gallery is pretty great too. The rest of the day was spent eating, looking round in shops and trying on stupid amounts of clothes. A good day :)

Outtakes XVII

Had a clean-up at my desktop the other night, and as per usual I found some folders of pictures that I had gathered to post here, but never got round to. These are all from last year.

I don't know about you, but this week has not been a stellar one... The boys are both ill, spring has sprung off somewhere else and news (supposedly good) aren't forthcoming about our new house. This clip with the coolest 6-year old girl ever is lifting my spirits no end though (via DosFamily). As are these breakdancing teenagers.

Come on March, I'm counting on you to be good!
