Consolation

As of now I have accumulated no less than 12 rolls of undeveloped film! Holly Hell, how did that happen?

I know that two of them are filled with double exposure attempts, one is of my trip up at Lakes Entrance and another dates back to Christmas.
As for the other eight rolls of film, I haven't got the faintest clue what could be on them.

Remember that photo funk I've been complaining about?
Well I think this more than makes up for it.

The burning desire to run out and drop a sack load of cash to get them all developed immediately is so strong right now that had I the funds to do it I totally would.

But alas I don't and so the funk continues…

Keeping the message of this lovely link alive in my heart instead.

I've Gotchya Captcha

Mostly it doesn't really faze me when a few "anonymous" comments pop up in my blog stream now and then.
Mostly I can deal with the mild annoyance of getting all excited and then inevitably disappointed over a false message by simply deleting it out of my history and out of my life.
But mostly I just hate using captchas so much myself that I wouldn't want to impose this irritating add on upon you lovely people.

I can't tell you how many times I've gone to the trouble of leaving a note on a blog, deliberating over the wording or the right thing to say, only to notice the captcha at the bottom of the screen seconds after closing the tab leading my comment to nought.

Plus have you noticed how hard those things are to read sometimes?
I'm no robot but seriously, some are like deciphering hieroglyphics!

Well that was my stance, at least until this week when I received no less than 10 anonymous comments in a matter of 4 days.

WTF???!!!

So now that I've had my fill of spam from sites such as Bread Machine stating that they love my surveys and would I like more traffic to my blog I'm wondering dear readers, what is your opinion of captchas?

Do they help?
Are they a hindrance?
If I added one to my page would it deter you from commenting? 
(this last one is most important as I sooo love getting your comments - little attention hog that I am.)

I don't like the idea of making it that little bit harder to have your say here but the irritation of irrelevant spam is frustrating me to no end.
I'm not sure how much longer I can stand it…

To add, or not to add:
that is the question…

On a Day Like Today

All You Need Is Love ❤

There is so much to love about this particular Much Love Monday that I'm bursting at the seams to share it all at once.

I'm loving…
❥ Making the house more homely.
They say a change is as good as holiday… and they're totally right!
❥ Dinners in our newly renovated dining room.

Remember this little project?

Don't get too used to it though as it's about to change again.

❥Thanks to some very generous friends we've adopted a few beautiful pieces of furniture including a display cabinet and the dinning suit pictured above.

We're overwhelmed with gratitude.

This weekend was the first time we'd sat down to a dinner table since moving in 5 years ago.

❥ Restructuring the bedroom.

I really wish I had taken a photo of how bad it was before then you'd know what a HUGE transformation this room has had.

Unfortunately old homes don't come with walk in robes, but ours didn't have any wardrobes at all.

This means a bit of eclectic clutter ensued but with some tweaking here and there we've managed to make this my favourite room in the house.

Our bedroom finally feels like a cosy little oasis.

❥ Gifts of love out on display.

❥ Our little munchkin on the end of our bed.

❥ And last but certainly not least… what I'm loving most about today is that on this day a year ago I was marrying the love of my life.

We may not be making a whole lotta hooha about it

(after 11 years together 1 seems like a drop in the ocean)

but we know we have what really matters.

Love…

On a day like today, love is all you really need ❤

Sunday Sessions // 24

Bombay Bicycle Club are proving to be a hot little favourite amongst my playlist lately.

There's just something really comforting about their sound - I don't quite know how else to explain it but I'm liking them more and more each time I listen to their stuff.

Hope these give you some cheer for the week ahead :)

Don't listen to those who say, "It's not done that way." 
Maybe it's not, but maybe you will. Don't listen to those who say, "You're taking too big a chance." Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor, and it would surely be rubbed out by today. Most importantly, don't listen when the little voice of fear inside of you rears its ugly head and says, "They're all smarter than you out there. They're more talented, they're taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connections…" I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you, not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others, but with the strength of conviction that you can move others by your own efforts, and do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live, the chances are you'll be a person worthy of your own respect.--Neil Simon

Accept everything about yourself - I mean everything, you are you and that is the beginning and the end - no apologies, no regrets.
