    Morning folks :D

    Been up since 2am :rotfl::rotfl: I will settle back into routine.........

    Doing battle with luminosity layer masks using 3 exposures. Just a fancy name for creating intricate masks for dodging /burning. Modern equivalent of a darkroom technique. But my machine has ground to halt saving a star trails image, so I can do a second version which involves manual alignment of 20+ images - another intricate task. I might have something to show you by 2018! As you've guessed photoshop is not my thing :rotfl:

    Thing is i've got a tutorial tomorrow, need to show something, suppose a load of RAW images will do.



    I got the grass cut yesterday, a month since it was last done, but did it on two different settings and had it done in less than 10 mins. Loving the postage stamp size ;):D

    Now you're back home and the tough tasks begin :eek: if RAW images are acceptable please don't overstress today getting things just so. You have time to sort it all out, just relax a little get back into your normal routine, then show us some pics please xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Really sorry to hear about your school, I dread that happening to mine. Was it the result of an Ofsted report?

    Oh yes! Strangely enough..... our School Improvement Partner is now our CEO.

    Hope this doesn't happen to your school. It has been a painful journey. :(

    Need to leap up and do something positive! Let the decluttering begin!:)

    My 5000 points gift cards didn't have thank you on , well the ones delivered didn't. It had a pic of all the places you can use them.

    Good Morning all :)

    Had a quick look round the first bootsale round here and bought a purple kipling bag , quite a good size for ...... wait for it £5. Chap said it cost £90 and I believe him.

    Off to the cinema with Nellie soon :D

    My latest delivered ones are the same as yours, but the product code we are using shows as Thank You on the order. Where a few people have struggled is searching for £10 gc and then adding that - not all work with the N3ctar code. Aldo the ones we want are not visible from searching the catalogue unless you use the specific product code.

    Good morning Elite :hello:

    Feeling a little better this morning :D. I've been awake since 7.30am, busy doing nothing :T

    Susan, I'm thinking on exactly the same lines as you, too coincidental to be wrong xx

    So what plans have you all got to look forward too today? Something nice I hope, not too nice else you'll make mhoc jealous :rotfl:

    mhoc, oh dear girl, what can I say. I'm wondering is errant son still kicking boundaries for attention from you. I don't mean it in a nasty way :o but does he feel left out, unwanted in any way. This could well be part of his issues with you in particular. It's not going to be easy but have you tried unconditional love towards him. Go have lunch out one day, somewhere cheap and cheerful, that might go some way to healing things somewhat.

    You can tell me to 'shut it' , feel free as it was just a thought that came to me :o

    Hugs to the Elite poorly and low in spirit, you're in my thoughts xx

    Well, apart from fat feet for the last 2 days I had a fright yesterday late afternoon. Sitting there minding my own business (makes a change, I know :eek: ). I suddenly found it slightly harder to breath. Now I'm not sure if this would be due to pollen and my asthma or due to my COPD :eek:

    I retreated to bed, propped up and stayed there all night. Funnily enough I slept quite well. However, I'm not going to budge today for fear of bringing it back on. Scary stuff :o :eek:

    Off to websleuths to catch-up on find Corrie , will be back later xx
