A mainly dry Thursday
Met my son Paul at Chris Babbage’s garage in Cardiff this morning. Paul is having his 4×4 serviced, went to MacDonalds for breakfast with Paul on the way back home. 🙂
Had another delivery from Jorgensen today, which means I have more albums to make up tomorrow.
Paul’s truck will be ready tomorrow morning so I’ll be dropping him down to the garage.

A quiet Wednesday – still raining
Decided that as I worked through the weekend and Monday that I would have a relaxing day today.
Visited the retail complex at Talbot Green, did some mainly window shopping.
Royal Mail have replied that my local Post Office have to accept Special Delivery items where the postage has been created with SmartStamp – hope my local Post Office now know this as well!
No Welsh class this evening as it’s half term.

Met with a lovely couple this evening who are getting married next year at Margam Park – a lovely location.

A busy Monday
Well it’s certainly one of the wetest days of the year!
Monday is usually my quiet day but today I’ve been continuing to process the images from Saturday’s wedding. I’ve now uploaded the web gallery, produced the DVD slideshow and created the thumbnail prints ready to send to the lab for printing.

A busy Sunday
Spent most of the day processing the images from Stuart and Karen’s wedding which was at Bryngarw House.
Here are a couple of images from Stuart and Karen’s wedding.

A busy Saturday
Fortunately the weather was fine and mild today.
I photographed Stuart and Karen’s wedding at Bryngarw House today and went back there this evening for some photographs of the evening party.
I’ve downloaded all the files from the camera and converted the raw files to jpegs.

A very wet Friday
Most of the day spent finishing the flush mount album design that I’ve been working on this week.
Charged all the batteries in preparation for Stuart and Karen’s wedding at Bryngarw House that I’m photographing tomorrow, I hope the weather is drier than today!
My youngest son David telephoned to say his car had packed in on Penarth Road in Cardiff. A trip to Cardiff to get him going again – it had run out of petrol, he didn’t have his spare can in the boot!

Mainly dry Thursday
Continued with the design of the flush mount album, it’s now very close to completion. The majority of the images have been added and pages designed.
Another delivery of Jorgensen albums today, I have one order outstanding due to slow customs clearance but that will be here next week.
Evening shopping at Tesco.
