Spent an enjoyable afternoon in the company of the very creative Stephen Rodgers at his recently opened Blue Elephant studio. Here he is making another miniature pig for sale in the gallery’s retail space.

I just bought a slow cooker…in the instructions it says “do not use the slow cooker other than for its intended use” Well what else would you use one for??!!

Thanks to Julie Lawson for inviting me on a Truth & Trust Adventure caving and climbing experience with guide Malc Lawson for today’s adventure in Derbyshire. I have never done either before but thoroughly enjoyed both. Excellent guidance from Malc, owner of the company! Highly recommended if you fancy breaking out of your box in Derbyshire.
Horse & Bamboo presents Hansel & Gretel at the Montgomery Theatre.
Went with Sarah Oldfield and enjoyed the production…especially the evil raven.
Sarah gave me a backy on her bike (first time Id done that since childhood) (sadly stolen a few weeks later) and we went to meet Gerald Garratty and Josh Waller at the Radhuni Indian restaurant on London Road.
I decided to join Pinterest last night and finished off my profile today. It’s easy to use and looks visually great, but will it have any benefit? Will it be just another site to sap your time and energy.
I’ve bookmarked loads of great photos on ePHOTOzine. When they’re all brought together it shows what superb talent we have on the site.
Have a look and if you join feel free to follow me

I’ve always been the one in the house that’s had to deal with spiders, bees and other bugs. More recently with the introduction of a cat I’m now also in control of frog, bird, mouse, vole and, would you believe it, worm removal. None of it bothered me, until last night when this thing appeared.
I’ve no idea what it is (any clues?) but it was much bigger than a bumble bee and with no reference as to whether it would sting or bite gave me quite a shock as it took off and flew like a Hercules in an uncontrollable fashion. There was a huge sense of relief when I managed to get it out through the window (I’m not a squasher, I like to let them go)
For all those overseas readers you can tell from the shock that us Brits are a bit rubbish when it comes to bugs!

I recently over heard my cardiac nurse saying “she wants to be a model” and couldn’t help push my nose in. I soon found out she was referring to up-and-coming model, Chloe Bleackley, who’d done some catwork work, but never modelled before. So I offered to take some shots to kick start her portfolio.
I spent Friday evening in the Turbine Studio with Chloe. It’s the first studio shoot I’ve done since the heart attack last year.
Chloe turned out to be far better than I expected for a first shoot. In fact, she was much better than some models who’ve been doing it for years. She’s very alert to how models pose and has spent time watching TV etc to learn. So when she started moving I was gob-smacked at the ease of flow.
Happy as they come, but also capable of turning on a sultry pose. I’m sure she’ll go far.
You can see Chloe on Model Mayhem here Chloe Bleackley
