Tuesday Night.
July 21st, 2009
Lately things have been good and not so good. I know I’ve been terribly slack at keeping things updated around here, but we just haven’t been in the mood to blog about anything. To be honest, things have been pretty crappy, but despite it all, we’re still standing strong.
Yesterday was our 26 month milestone in our relationship which was lovely. Every anniversary really makes me reflect on how far we’ve come together. I remember the days when we would only dream of being in the same country, and yet here we are. Nathan bought me a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers which are my favourite. I love them and am going to put them next to our bed tonight. I love you so much, Nay. <3
I got my 6 month visa granted for Australia. It was a bloody rip-off to be honest, it kind of makes me really angry that travelling is such a pain in the arse. The UK lets anyone visit as a tourist for 6 months, but Australia only allows tourists 3 months, and you have to pay to be considered for a 6 month visa. I totally understand why that happens, but as a British citizen, why can’t the UK and Australia have a friendly agreement? I know the UK wants to boot out all the EU people who take advantage of being able to just move over here, but I seriously think a lot more reconsidering wouldn’t hurt anyone.
Now we just need to figure out some more solid plans for our stay and we’ll be sorted. I’m seriously not looking forward to that jetlag again. Sitting awake at 3am wanting lunch is plain weird.
I’m on a competition frenzy at the moment. I have been so uninspired by everything lately. I got a bill in the post saying my broken lens which was supposedly under a 1 year warranty ending in September will now cost £75 for repairs. I’m so angry at them, they told me that it was all covered. Anyway. Nathan said to me in the kitchen today, “Why don’t we look up some maps on Google, just drive, just go somewhere, and we can take the camera and take photos and have a picnic?” All I said was, “We’d have to take the dog.” What kind of ungrateful response was that? I would love to, Nathan. Thank you for getting my creative boots back on, I needed a bit of encouragement.
We took this the other day. We spent about 5 minutes taking photos before we just went back downstairs to look at them and this was the one that came out the best. I really like it. I had to airbrush my arm as I had a massive bruise on it, but then I wanted to keep it as it looked like Nathan was kissing it better. Don’t worry, I didn’t beat myself up. I have a bruise on each arm from a set of vaccinations I had last week. Sick things.
Nathan has been working his cotton socks off again. I feel like such a slob next to him and watching what he does. How can anyone work the way he does? He has really changed my outlook of pretty much everything. He is just so ambitious and driven and it really does rub off on me a lot of the time which is why I’ve been so driven over the past couple of months. He is just so inspirational and I think we all have a lot to learn from Nathan, he’s incredible.
On another note, we have a party photo shoot on Saturday. My Godmum’s father is turning 80 so we’re off to photograph it all. It should be heaps of fun. Hopefully the weather will be lovely for it and we can get heaps of lovely shots in for them to look back on. I love being able to record memories for people, that’s what photography is all about to me.
We went and bought the HP Touchsmart the other day, and it is absolutely legendary. It is a monster of a machine. 500GB hard drive to slowly clog up with bits and bobs that we’ll find handy. I love playing around on it, it is so much fun. I especially love being able to just drag things around the screen with my finger. It makes me feel so mighty and powerful. Nyehehe.
As for now, I’ve had a valium pill so this blog entry probably makes no sense. I’m feeling woozy and weird, so I should probably clamber upstairs to bed. Sorry for the absolute mess of an update. I just wanted to write something whilst I was actually in the mood.
Peace out!
