I almost missed the photo an hour link up this month! Luckily I went on Twitter and saw that Sharon was doing it. As a result, my first photo was not taken when I got up, but half an hour later… and I ended up doing photos on the half hour instead of the hour. I took part on Twitter this time, but I also wanted to record it on my blog.
Jan had to go into work for a special project/organisation meeting thing, so I was alone all day! Here’s what I got up to:
10:30 a.m. Starting late means my first photo is not tea! Shower time.
11:30 a.m. It looks grey and miserable outside, but I need to go to the post office and food shopping, so out I go.
12:30 p.m. Shopping done, heading home through the park. But where are all the children? It might have been grey, but it wasn’t raining or all that cold! DO people here take the midday quiet time that seriously?
1:30 p.m. Aaah, there’s the tea that no photo an hour would be complete without! (Well, a cup that once contained tea anyway.) Lunch done, cuppa drank. Now what?
2:30 p.m. Thought I’d better actually do a bit of my OU course while I didn’t have any other commitments. Discovering Wales and Welsh for those that were interested. It’s a not for credit short course that you have 6 months to complete. I want to do a proper Level 1 course, but the Europe price is way too expensive!
3:30 p.m. Enough studying for a Saturday! Another cuppa while I leaf through cross stitch magazines for card inspiration.
4:30 p.m. Suppose I’d better do something useful! Emptying the dishwasher.
5:30 p.m. Writing to a pen pal. Spring paper seemed appropriate 🙂
6:30 p.m. Watching Come Dine With Me – my guilty pleasure TV show. It’s total trash, but I love it. The narrator makes it for me!
7:30 p.m. Another episode of Come Dine With Me. (And an awful picture! I forgot to take one with my camera and the computer refuses to acknowledge my phone so I had to re-download this one from Twitter!)
8:30 p.m. I had been waiting for Jan to let me know whether he wanted tea, but he apparently got stuck talking and forgot to message me. By 8:30 I was starving so I decided to just cook anyway!
9:30 p.m. Pyjamas time! Also note the confetti that is somehow still in my flat even though I’ve hoovered several times since Fasnacht!
10:30 p.m. In bed with a book. Once I’ve read this I’ll have completed the bonus round for Erin‘s reading challenge!
11:30 p.m. I’m off to sleep! There’s just time for one more photo of the view from my bed… purely to preserve symmetry, obviously 😉
And that’s it for this month. How was your Saturday? Did you do anything interesting?
Linking up with Jane and Louisa, as always.
Confuzzledom 
I didnt bother doing photo an hour this month. It would have just been pictures of me cleaning windows. Yours sounded relaxing. Maybe I’ll join in next month. Thanks for sharing x
There is nothing wrong with a Come Dinner with Me marathon on the weekend. It is addictive! And the narrator is definitely the best bit, though he is also the reason why I would never apply to go on it. Some of the comments are a little bit too close to the bone and I have no idea what he would pick up about me too make cutting comments about!
LOL, yeah he is definitely waaay to observant!
I love Come Dine With Me too – the narrator is brilliant 🙂 Classic moment – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfhGxqhi-1g
What a fun way to document a day – and it seems nice and relaxing too
Always enjoy your photo-a-day posts… nothing like a good slice of life! Might have to link up one of these days. 🙂 And love the hedgehog pjs!
Thanks – they are my favourite pjs 🙂
I especially love your pink pjs and your Little Miss Sunshine mug. Looks like a very chilled day.x
Aw, little miss Sunshine! I had a very lazy Saturday as was still recovering from St. Patrick’s day celebrations the night before. Did you ever watch the German version of Come dine with me? I remember watching a few episodes and found it interesting enough. Most of the time I watch netflix and not actually TV these days though
No, I didn’t know there was a German version!
Little Miss Sunshine was the name of our quiz team in Karlsruhe so my friends gave me the mug as a leaving present 🙂
For some reason I always end up taking photos on the half hour rather than the hour – I think it’s because my body seems to naturally wake up on the half hour so it makes sense to start as soon as I’m awake, while I remember.
I was actually up at 10 that day but I only found out at 20 past and then waited because 20 past the hour photos seemed silly! (And impossible to remember…)
I’m another half hourer as well! I LOVE Come Dine with me! Good choice!!x
I only watch it when I’m home alone but I do love it 🙂
For a REALLY guilty pleasure try watching Game of Clones – I only saw one episode, which I enjoyed but it is SO wrong on SO many levels!
I’ve seen the adverts – it looks so bizarre!
What inspired you to take up Welsh
I’ve been interested in Wales/Welsh since I read the “Snow Spider” trilogy as a child, but honestly part of the reason I’m taking it now is because it’s available as one of the cheap mini courses from the OU!
