Linky Love #4

It's been a while since the last Linky Love and I'm sitting here editing photos from several weeks ago. The computer is being slow, an eclectic mix of music courtesy of iTunes shuffle is playing in the background and I thought I'd add another task while I sit here and wait for the computer to catch up - one image at a time.

One of these days, I'm actually going to use this handy little generator  and create magical things.

I've be blown away by the sheer cleverness of some people.

When I've been in the kitchen, I've been making all sorts of variations of this recipe. Totally nomalicious!

Long summer days are a memory ago as the winter chill is making itself felt around these parts. In life's busy-ness, I didn't share this little iPhone feature with you. My image is the fourth amongst the fifteen finalists for that week. Ahhh, summer...how I'm counting down the weeks....

If you have some spare cash floating around, I'd love for you to donate to this worthy cause. The date is getting closer and I need to reach my target, or I don't ride - yikes!

And a final bit of silliness that is oh-so-clever!

Linky Love #3

Goodness gracious me - how long has it been since we've had some linky love, you and I? Far too long, would be the correct answer! And really, it's not as though I haven't been browsing here and there and discovering new things; it's simply been because life and other commitments have demanded my attention. And that attention, I will now give to you.

If you have kids who find themselves home thanks to school holidays, and who also happen to love junk food - then I think this reason would be ok to break the "no junk food" rule. Just once. And while they're quiet and busy with their printing, then you should so kick back and really enjoy a coffee or two. Whatever you do though, don't feel all invigorated and try and climb the nearest water tower just because you think you can see the city better from there. Because I guarantee, it will end in tears.

Have you noticed how jaded we feel these days? You know, it's not just you and me who feel this way. It's almost everyone at one time or another. And have you noticed how easy it is to get carried away with this feeling, and be dragged down by the sheer weight of the negativity that suffocates your every positive thought? You end up growling at everyone and everything; the furrows in your forehead become so deep that the Grand Canyon is losing tourists to you; and you wake up one morning, look in the mirror and wonder just who the hell that horrid narky person staring and glaring back at you is. Well - follow this link and read the advice contained in it - you know, life doesn't have to be this tough. Really, it doesn't.

So, until the next Linky Love - smile, and be happy :)

Linky Love #2

There's been a lot of talk about the new kid on the block and it's questionable TOS, with discussions taking place on all sorts of websites. These concerns are serious and genuine and I really, really hope that Pinterest look into their TOS and alter them. Not all concerns about that site are serious, one is hilariously funny - and I'm not sure what's funnier, the post or those they fool.

Do you find you over-analyse in order to come up with the solution to a problem? Sometimes it's the obvious and common-sense approach that contains the answer.

All digital images go through some sort of post-processing, some more than others. If you can look past just how much these were 'shopped, they still make for beautiful images.

Some places of work are like finely oiled pieces of machinery.

You don't have to lose track of time ever again.

A blank white canvas isn't the only place you can throw paint.

Entertaining or annoying? You decide.

Linky Love #1

Yes, that's right, my first Linky Love post. At least, I think it is. I'm not sure why I haven't done this before, as I really enjoy discovering sites on the net via the various blogs I visit. So here goes.

I found myself nodding a few times while I watched this. Well worth watching, but you may need to find a comfy chair. And maybe a coffee. And some chocolate.

I became more determined to keep at it and to constantly leave that super comfortable comfort zone.

I lost myself in the past and had to reluctantly join the now.

Discovered new music that felt both new and yet familiar.

And laughed out loud at the realisation that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

I'm having withdrawals, as the blogger is on holidays with almost no net access, but here's one he prepared earlier.

So there you have it - your Linky Love goodness for the week.
