Work started today on errecting the conservatory. David called in, he’s now driving the BMW 318 but he’d overfilled the radiator so there was hot coolant pouring out from the radiator. Called over to my Mum’s and cut her front lawn. The BMW 525i has been returned from the bodyshop, it’s currently on my Mum’s drive as with all the building work at home we need to keep our drive clear.

A bright Tuesday
I went over to my Mum’s this morning and replaced the lighting pull switch in her bathroom and fitted a new Venetian blind in her kitchen. The bodyshop collected the green BMW 525i this morning to repair the vandal damage to both sides.
I had a telephone consultation with my GP this morning, he’s prescribed a further course of antibiotics to be taken if needed but thinks that I’m going to require more surgery. I have the follow up appointment at the Royal Glamorgan hospital next week, we’ll have to wait and see how it goes. 🙁
Mark and Laura called in this evening to collect the DVD slide show of their recent wedding.
A damp Thursday
I took the green BMW 525i down to Chris Babbage’s garage in Cardiff this morning for Chris to sort out the brakes. I caught the train back from Cathays to Treforest and then the bus to Church Village. Collected the car this evening, new track rod end, brake pads and discs. It’s much nicer to drive now!
My first day as a blogger!
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.
