Presto Chango!

Yep, I’m moving the furniture around again. New posts and photographs are coming but for now I’m just playing with a new theme. I’ve been wanting a single column blog for awhile now, I just hate the messiness of sidebars. Hopefully this theme will be a little less clunky to load, I’m showing fewer posts so there are less photos to load everytime. I’m still toying with the idea of only having one post show so it’s more like a traditional photoblog…not completely decided on that one yet.

Why is it whenever I sit down to do a couple of small tweaks on my site I end up getting engrossed and before I know it it’s 2:30 in the morning?

Animation Blogging

Blogging Lite

Just a quick note to say that blogging will be light around here for a little while (hopefully not too long!) because I’ve taken on a project that’s snowed me under somewhat. I’ve been animating on a children’s tv show which is really fun and exciting but means locking myself away in my office and resisting the call of the internet.

I will be attending the Irish Businesswomen’s conference in Mullingar on Thursday so if anyone is going along I’ll be the one blinking as if she hasn’t seen sunlight for awhile.

Toejam Portraits

A couple more from Saturday, this time some portraits of the people that work at the markets selling their wares. The girl above arrived with her friend towards the end of our stay at the carboot sale and I think they feature in nearly everyone’s photos of the day 😀

ToeJam Car Boot Sale

Finally getting around to going through the photos from Saturday’s photomeet in Dublin. It was a great day and a fantastic idea for a venue (nice one Catriona!). We started off at the Toejam boot sale around the back of the George Bernard Shaw Pub. We had a great gang of people…Redmum, John, Catriona, Will, Davy, Alexia, Nathalie and Eoghan, Eoin, Phil and Darren. Some excellent bargains to be had if you’re in the area on a Saturday, I indulged in a bit of spending (all in the name of portrait bribes you understand) and came away with a brand new soft leather bag for â‚¬8. Yummy food and interesting characters too:

We then took a walk down to the farmer’s market in Temple Bar (where Deborah of Humble Housewife fame joined us) for even more snapping:

I have loads more but I think that’s enough for one post! If you want to have a look at what everyone got (and it’s cool to see how we all were in the same places yet we each had our own unique view) there’s a toejam group up on Flickr here.

Sorry if you happened to visit earlier this evening and saw strange things happening. I was updating WordPress (scary stuff!) and managed to have my account suspended along the way. Joy, joy. It seems to be working OK now…let me know if you find any gremlins still lurking.
