I can eat again, I had a few rounds of toast and coffee for breakfast and apple pie and custard for lunch. Had my dressings changed (ouch!) and I’m now allowed home. My mum gave me a lift home from the hospital, it’s nice to be home again. 🙂
Amy and Alistair called in this evening, as they’re just back from honeymoon, to collect their wedding pack (DVD slideshow and virtual album on CD). It was a lovely wedding at Bryngarw House.
Lunch at the Hollybush once more today! Julie (my Welsh tutor), her mum and aunt were also there. They were serving home-made apple pie and custard, it was delicious.
Upgraded the PHP version on my local Apache server, not very exciting!
Neil and Michelle have arranged to come and see me tomorrow evening to talk about the photographs for their wedding album.

Well I’ve read a few other blogs so I thought I’d create one myself, the aim is to give you an insight into my life and work – I hope I succeed with it and you find some things of interest here.
I had a phone call from a lovely couple, Andrew & Natalie, who came to see me on Sunday to discuss photography for their wedding next year, they rang to let me know they were booking me and would call around later with the contract and reservation fee. As I’m mentioning Sunday, we went to the Hollybush in Church Village for lunch, loads of meat complete with real gravy! the apple pie and custard was also yummy.
The engine on my BMW 520i recently stopped and refused to restart at a really convenient spot – in the outside lane of the traffic lights in Tonteg. Fortunately a couple of passers by helped me push it around the corner – BMWs aren’t supposed to break down! It took an hour or so with an oscilloscope to diagnose that one of the relays supplying power to the engine management unit had failed! A trip to the main dealer to lighten my wallet and obtain a new relay. I’ve just fitted the new relay and I’m really pleased that the car is now running again. The brake disks on the Volkswagen Passat are badly scored and the next little job will be to replace them a major service on the other BMW (525i) should get all the car maintenance up to date – the joys of motoring!
I spent the afternoon making up some Jorgensen wedding albums, they are really lovely albums but as the pages are pre-bound you have to be so careful when mounting the prints and mats – any mistake could mean a new album from Australia. They look really lovely I know my customers will be delighted when they collect them.
I did some more work on the album design for Andrew & Elaine who were married at the Heritage Park Hotel on the 6th of August, they’re delighted with it so far.
Andrew (Andrew & Natalie) called around with the paper work for their wedding photography, they’re really excited to be having a modern Jorgensen E album to showcase the story of their special day.
Visited the Rhondda Rebels web site they are playing Sheffield at home on Saturday, I haven’t been to a game in ages, it should be a great match.
