The Yaaargh is Nearly Over!

Things are starting to calm down... sort of.  On Monday our little nephew finally decided it was about time he showed his face so we had to look after Grant while Elaine was in hospital.  Baby Max is very cute and yesterday I snapped a few photos when I was out visiting - there'll be 1 or 2 uploaded soon

Grant and I went to the Castle Capers at Tully Castle - basically a country show with dog shows, highland dancing displays, silver band etc.  And not to be forgotten, an archery display which Stephen was involved with.  It rained lots but Grant and I had a whale of a time and it was a good excuse to jump in lots of puddles

I went to a gig on Friday night - first time since Halloween, yikes!  The crowd was fairly small but it was nice because it was nearly all people I know - I do tend to get intimidated by tons of people I don't know.  I really enjoyed it.  Momma's Slippers were playing - poor FunkyJo's fingers were bleeding from playing the bass by the end of it - Jo, I hope your poor fingers are better!

I enquired with the local papers about the cost of advertising for CreativeCaptures - one was about what we expected and the other one was ridiculously expensive.  Needless to say we chose the former and are going to be doing an advertising feature with them in the next few weeks.  I did get a deal on a wedding feature from the other paper though - we don't really like wedding photography but I thought it was a good opportunity to get our name out there.  So that's going out this week - let's hope and pray it gets us some business!

Nothing else wild or exciting with me - I know when Quantum of Solace comes out I will get talked into going to see it so I thought I'd better watch Casino Royale.  What can I say, I have seen many many James Bond films but really this was the first one I enjoyed.  Daniel Craig makes a much more believable Bond - cold-hearted and cocky... and less camp than all the others!

Oh and I went to see the Dark Knight last week too - uh WOW!   I wasn't as impressed with Christian Bale as I usually am but Heath Ledger stole the show so I wasn't left disappointed.  Oscar nomination?  I think so.  I also think Aaron Eckhart did a great job and should get a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.  Definitely the best Batman since the first one and Batman Returns.

Okay, enough from me - it's very hot here, the sun is straming in through the skylight so I'm off to get a drink and edit photos from the gig!
