Day 96 - 14.05.2011

Jemima's Photo - My friends came down to Newcastle to help celebrate my birthday (even though my birthday isn't until tomorrow!).  Here are H & A in Central Park.  K was with us too and my sister and her boyfriend had been and gone but I managed not to get a photo of the lot of us together!

A & H looking much more normal than usual! :P

Randomy photo -- my old place, all cleaned up for the take over by landlord. The last day was today and passed successfully. No problems what so ever. Good :-)

Day 95 - 13.05.2011

Jemima's Photo - RAWR!!!  Damn Collared Doves just won't bugger off!  Here is one sneaking around where our sweet peas have been planted.  Look at it looking all shifty.  It knows I don't like it!

Damn Collared Dove!

Randomy photo -- a water level in the main telescope dome. It is made to leak in, because the building costs would me way higher if they made the dome to keep the water out. But there is a certain level of water predicted to appear, and now, the water is at that level. Any more, and it will start damaging the walls since they are protected to the current level only. 

Day 94 - 12.05.2011

Jemima's Photo - Yet another May birthday and yet another one I didn't get out for!  So Happy Birthday Flip!  Here's a picture of my lemon balm flowering just for you!  Actually I've never seen the lemon balm flowering before so I was quite excited to find these flowers :)

Randomy photo -- A head one gets when pouring skill is not really great. This is a pint of J's home brew that needs to be poured from the keg. I barely know how to pour the beer out of the bottle. 

Day 93 - 11.05.2011

Jemima's Photo - Today was my big bro's birthday but he lives in Belfast so I wasn't able to get to see him so Happy Birthday D!  I did however spot this baby wagtail in our back yard waiting for it's mama to come back with some food for it.

Randomy photo -- The lake level increased so much that the path to the telescope need to be rebuild. 

Day 92 - 10.05.2011

Randomy photo - a nasty morning surprise. A snow. Bummer. (the tracks are from Lytle)

Jemima's Photo - Thank goodness all signs of snow here have long gone!  Got out for a cuppa with H and sat chatting in the sun on the promenade where we ran into my bro-in-law who was out with the dogs.

H & M on the prom with Jim & Becky

Day 91 - 09.05.2011

Randomy photo - A new flower I saw on the after lunch walk!

Jemima's Photo - Boohoo!  Another fruitless trip to the hospital.  I was supposed to see my consultant but he wasn't here again today damnit.  That's what I get for having the big boss as the man who's in charge of my care.  This is the most hateful thing about going up to the hospital - the damn queue to get into the carpark!

Massive carpark queue

Day 90 - 08.05.2011

Randomy photo - Aye, I spent sunday too cleaning. And poisoning myself with the chemicals for oven cleaning. That stuff is vile! 

Jemima's Photo - I've been growing my hair and can finally put it all up and out of the way!  Hooray, I love being able to get it all out of my face :-D
