busy last week of the school holidays

Ive been way busy this week and have had a great week!
It was my friends sons birthday
so I spent the day with them, and was there for him opening his presents
and off course I had my trusted camera again! He had ball, AAron and his Mum ended up going to Mill Farm amd I wished I had gone http://www.livingstonalive.co.uk/almondvalley.shtml it looked like it was a great day despite the rain.
















I think Aarons favourite present was his huge water gun
and trex from primevil!
We also went bowling with aaron and Katrina which was a great day out! I hadnt been bowling for ages so really enjoyed it
back to reality and back to work got a lot to pay out for especially in the month of october!!



I Have started christmas shopping well only a little but seen and thought it was the perfect present for my best friend well part of her present

Edinburgh Festival parade 08

This is the first time Ive actually made this parade in the 8 years of living here!
My Friend Katrina and her son came along with me, and was enjoyed by all!

I managed to get loads of pics using my wee compact ( a photographer I call my self and forgot the memory cards for my SLR) oops never mind we all make mistakes mine are just one to often at the moment

leaving you with some pictures from the parade!


if u look in his eyes you see my best friend

cinema again

well never again will i follow my instinct! we went to see Batman (a dark knight) and believe me I really wished I hadnt bothered! I knew in the begining it was my type of film but wanted to be in the gang and go and see it, And also cause I love Heath Ledger I thought that would make it ok, But it wasnt I hated it, I didnt hate the film I more hated the type of film as Im normally a chick flick girlie or kids film fan Paul says 12's are to much for me checky so and so,

anyway Heath played a really good joker! RIP Heath but for once scared the livning daylights out of me!



we also went to see Wall.e on Monday now that my kinda of film its about a cute little robot that tidies up the earths waste after us humans Im not going to tell you any more as it will ruin it for you!!!! but that was way more my kind of film and loved every minute of it

Callandar Highland games 26th July 08

Wow what a big differnce from Burntisland Highland Games! they Both have there good and bad points but we had a great day out!

My pal and I had a great time cheering on the heavy weights whilst My uncle and Paul sat and concentrated on who was winning and whose round it was typical but never mind

My pal kinda liked Scott rider from England and was really disapointed to hear he was married so then we both turned to cheering on Gregor Edmunds for Scotland Go Gregor GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott rider

Gregor edmunds
between us we were camera happy, mine went closer so had to send her images lol just to remind her of the scottish guy!!!!!!!! where as at Burntisland everything is within the ring and there is alot of fairground rides, At Callandar they had things going on across the different fields which we couldnt possibly be in more than one place at a time but we werent bothered and sat and enjoyed our picnic,

At Callandar, they do what they call local heros where they get members of the public to certain heavy weight events for prise money! there was quite a few guys who gave it there best shot!


me and pal loved the honda gold wing trikes and had to have our picture taken on them, just to show what big kids we are but we had a ball lol

thanks to all for a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burntisland Highland Games 21st july 08

On Monday 21st July My Uncle and I went to Burntisland games,(fife) it was so hot for once its normally cold or raining, but amzingly it was hot, I got Badly sunburnt there and it must have been the worse yet, as I couldnt move and was petrified of getting blistered! Thank fully it didnt come to that, apart from bright red burnt skin,and I peeled for days now I know how my reptiles feel when they shed, at least mine was once they shed once a month,

I supose for the last few years Ive not really paid attention to the games but i really enjoyed them this year and was fasinated with the shut putt throwers, im so glad that there were wearing shorts as many of my pics would have showed everything just way embarassing!!!!!

At Burntisland there many things to keep me occupied and my eyes set on things! they have everything to do with the games in the centre ring, so we could see everything. there were highland dancers,cyclist racing, runners, heavy weight champs etc!!!! and lots of men of kilts :) they also had a mixture of fairground rides which seemed to keep the younger ones occupied

the best bits were sitting and chilling after breakfast looking onto the beach, it certainly brought many a great memory,I wnet there loads and kids and loved staying in my uncles caravan at Pettycur bay caravan park (Kinghorn) and spent many a day on the beach and in the paddling pool which due to youths throwing in glass, has now been filled and they have what u call water fountains that spurt up and the kids run through them, it also bought back memories of my Granddad walking miles with me to get water,well what seemed like miles and looking now the tide does go out quite far when its out, nowt was ever a hassle for him when it came to me!!!Miss u loads granddad x x x x (not me and my uncle in the pic)

We ended the day with a tradional fish and sausage supper from the best chippy in fife Romamoes, Ive loved this chippy ever since I was wee,
