Hello! Sorry for being MIA for the past ten weeks... Eeeeek! Did I just say ten weeks? That is very bad on my part... But I'm back now and promise to try harder to not leave it this long ever again. It has been a crazy time though. As usual, once school holidays arrived I ended up with another bout of tonsillitis - which this time pushed me over the edge. In what seemed like a whirlwind I ended up having them removed. Saw my GP on the Friday, saw specialist on the Tuesday, had surgery on the Thursday... I knew adult tonsillectomies are hard and require a longer recovery than kids, but I honestly was naive to the recovery. But it's done and I'm so happy that I will never have to worry about having the pain of tonsillitis EVER AGAIN!!!
But what else you ask? Surely recovering from a tonsillectomy doesn't take ten weeks? And no it doesn't. So what else...?
❃ This term has been super busy at school - I am so over school assignments, haha.
❃ Also my sister and niece, Polly-Anna have been over from the Uk for the past month. While I haven't been able to spend as much time with them as I'd have liked to, it has been so great having them here! Nothing like girlie time ☺
❃ I also did a 'photo-shoot' for my friend Sarah's portfolio. We had such a great day! I was really happy with how the pics turned out, but then again things are always easy when you have such a beautiful subject as Sarah. ☺
❃ Having more playtime and photo sessions with Caitie - such a cutie!!!
❃ Lot's of shopping and coffee dates with my cousins and besties.
❃ I have also just started an online photography retreat with the fabulous Angie Baxter. I did her Love Your Camera course back in October last year and she was fabulous. Her course was such a confidence boost and was so easy to understand. I am loving this follow-on online course - Love Your Camera II. I highly recommend you checking her out, she is AMAZING!!!
Anyway, before I head off I will update you on my PAD pics... I must confess that of late I have struggled to keep up and was particularly slack when 'recovering' from my surgery - could have been something to do with the fact I didn't leave the house for two weeks, haha. Enjoy!
