*************************************************

some of you may or not know but I am one of the 100,000 folk in the UK that may have sine flu this week. I slept loads over the weekend but still felt tired on Monday... the sore throat started on Tuesday and by the time I came home on Tuesday night I felt crap and exhausted.

Thankfully all the symptoms I have had so far are mild except the tired aspect... my limbs ache, I have a headache, the sore throat is passing and it does hurt when I cough........ I am hope above hope thinking this is as bad as it gets. Teen had a sore throat and is now ok ... I am wondering if it is natures way that we are not sick at the same time .. we will see I suppose!

In the mean time I have been resting and off work and have got addicted to stupid computer games... doh!!

Also playing with Photoshop Lightroom and old stuff on photo cards ... wow it is amazing

Liver Building Liverpool

Wall of Fame Cavern Walks Liverpool

On the photo walk votes btw there are 5 photo front runners... Pan Am Bar (without the candle), Maria, Man on Bench, Huge Moon & Room to Let .... mmmm I may need to give my casting vote.. I know my fav is Huge Moon so I need to decide on second one !!!

no diary today

Looked through a few diaries and there was nothing of interest to report .. unless you count finishing school for the summer holidays. I suspect as a teen that is something of interest!!!

Some times I think I should have taken up teaching as I would have oodles of holidays through the year and not had the headache of covering 14 weeks childcare with only 6 weeks leave available [thank goodness that is now a thing of the past and I can leave the teen lanquishing in her pit when I go to work] However, I do feel I would have been quickly suspended had I become a teacher due to the patience or lack of it with cheeky kids lol

As you know from my last post I went on the Worldwide Photo Walk on Saturday evening organised by Pete Carr.

It was great fun I can tell you... and how bizarre it was too. 40 odd folk with cameras stomping around Liverpool.

The reaction of the folk of Liverpool was great..... people asking .....

'who are you expecting?' 'erm what do you mean?' 'this is the paparazzi isn't it?'

'who is on the top of that building?' 'erm?' 'is someone going to jump?' 'erm no we are on a photowalk!' 'oh I thought someone was a jumper' [as they stood watching with interest .. quite bizarre]

'what is going on?' 'we are on a photowalk of the city' 'what like some nerdy/geeky type thing?' 'yes some nerdy/geeky type thing' and so on

I loved every minute [oh ok except at the initial gathering when the organiser said when CKX and I approached.. 'ok we are attracting some random folk now!'.... EXCUSE ME!! Me Random?

CKX was quick with his 'we are not random I have a password and not afraid to use it!!' Then he spotted someone he knew so we were cool!]

I have posted a lot of my pics of the evening on my Flickr but the crunch is I need to pick just 2 that are worthy of entering on the Worldwide Photo Walk site and this is where I need your help.

please pop along and have a look at what I took and tell me which are your favourites if you don't mind ... I would be ever so grateful x

do take a look at the group's photos too there are some really awesome ones there
