I am currently based on the sofa, wrapped up in a fleece coat with hot water bottle and dog nearby (except to write this - I don't have a laptop!), avoiding being pulled into sleep by this overwhelming feeling of tiredness. In other words, I've got an infection. It has been there for a while, sat on my chest, but it has taken a turn for the worse and, gulp, I've actually got a doctors appointment tomorrow. Actually, I've had it for quite a while, and in complete denial of symptoms, I just put it down to a cold or something and continued on. But feeling sufficiently crappy, I made an appointment. That's what denial gets you (I'm leaving jokes about rivers in Egypt to you guys...).



There is an upside to this tale of woe - sitting in a dimly-lit living room gives one ideas, in the long, dark evenings we've been having. It got me thinking about what I've seen on blogs recently - TTV or 'through the viewfinder'. The premise being you take a modern digital camera and take photos through the lens of another camera. The older the camera is, the better, scratchier, lovlier photos you come up with. I used my wonderful new digital camera and my old 1970's SLR, and took some very basic photos of the standard lamp in our living room. Because there was no other light in there, they have come out with a beautiful ambiance.



You guys might not hear from me for a while, as I've been asked to work on Saturday as well as Sunday - and assuming I've not got SARS or TB, then I'll be working two very long days. Which is good, because it's all extra in the kitty. But it also means I won't get to spend time with the hubby. However, I can get the xmas decorations down now and have a look-see to make sure all of the bulbs work, the tinsel is, well, tinsel-ish and the baubles are all sparkling. Think I can do that from the comfort of my fleecy sofa-cocoon? I do.
