037/365 The last time I took a shot like this, it was suggested that I take the reflective object on tour and get some more shots using it. So I decided tonight was the ideal opportunity.
The reflective object is actually the lid of a DKNY perfume bottle and today I acquired a bigger bottle (of the newly released frangrance no less!) which is infinitely easier to photograph than the tiny bottle I was using before! I love how it acts as a kind of fisheye. This is my bedroom at my Mums house.

036/365 So it seems I have swapped one house of mayhem for another! Mind you, its mayhem in a good way! The first caused by having lots of kids climb all over you, the second caused by big dogs jumping up at you, all wanting attention!

035/365 I’ve been staying in Oxford for a couple of days which means I get to have lots more cuddles with my friends baby!

034/365 I was lucky enough to get along to a very intimate gig with Neil Finn (lead singer of Crowded House) in London last night. It was so much fun. Old classics, new favourites and everything in between for a full 2.5 hours! The most amusing parts, however, were when he forgot the words (which was at some point during nearly every song) and had to rely on the audience to remind him of the lyrics!

032/365 Todays date is a palindrome, its mirrored. That is to say, it can be read the same backwards as it can be forwards - 01/02/2010

So I have successfully completed one whole month of my photo a day project. I thought that it would be pretty easy to take just one photograph each day - of course I knew there would be days where I would struggle, and that was part of the reason that I took on this challenge, but I have to admit that it has been a lot harder than I imagined. Not only have I had to combat a lack of creativity on various days, but I have also had to tackle a lack of motivation, tiredness and the problem of finding something different to take a photograph of each day! I have found myself saying on more than one occassion “that will do” when what I really want to be saying is “ooooh, I have lots of ideas today, which should I choose?”! On the whole, I think for the first month I’ve done ok, but there is definately room for improvement.
Ironically, my favourite photo from January was the first one that I took! But looking at the photos all together just reminds me why I am determined to keep this up - each photo brings back a memory from that particular day, something I did, something I saw, or even the mindset that I was in on that day.
Lets see what February brings.

031/365 Juniper belongs to my brother-in-laws, sisters family. I posted a photo of her when she was just 11 weeks old. She’s now more than 6 months old and as excitable as ever, and still just as cute!

030/365 Oops! I *accidentally* purchased some tart cases the other day and I’ve been itching to try them out, especially as my sister gave me some baking beads for Christmas. The first thing I tried was thrown together on a whim - feta, spinach, tomato and onion tarts. They tasted amazing!
Next on the agenda are miniature lemon meringue tarts! Yummy!

029/365 Lost! But hardly stuck! I just thought this would be quite amusing! As an aside, this is where my brother-in-law proposed to my sister a couple of years back - he dressed up as a street performer (you know, one of those metallic looking ones with a mask so you can’t tell who they are) and held up signs asking her to marry him. He must have looked pretty authentic, he made quite a bit of money while he was waiting for her!
