You may have noticed I've been a little quiet on my blog for the last week or so. Having planned out my daily blog post for the month and feeling a burst of enthusiasm get the going with them - I found my laptop was not feeling the same. As the machine powered up, the screen did nothing. I heard my little MacBook chime, and the screen - blank. In the panic, I googled MacBook recovery and had an online chat with a very patient guy from Apple, but whatever I tried, still nothing - so I gave in a booked an appointment for the genius bar to get my baby fixed. Of course, I had to wait an entire week for the appointment, an entire week without blogging. 7 days, while at home waiting to start my new job, I couldn't blog. Then, of course once I took my laptop in, I had to wait even longer for it actually to be fixed. I'm not somebody who can blog from a tablet or phone, unfortunately, I just can't do it. The quality of my posts would have suffered massively if I tried it, and as I'm ready the queen of typos, I didn't even want to imagine the typo situation as I attempted to type up my usually far too wordy blog posts through the cracks of my phone screen.

I'll admit I found myself feeling pretty bored - what did I do before I had a blog?!
Once I managed to overcome the boredom and busy myself. I found myself feeling quite refreshed stepping away from a computer screen. I fell in love with reading again - I read 4 new books in the almost two weeks I was without a laptop, wrote some new poetry, and got messy baking.
I also spent a lot of time with friends and family.
I love all the colours Autumn brings, it's my favourite time of year! |
I rummaged through one-off shops in Chepstow, and enjoyed a pub lunch with my Auntie and Uncle, I explored Leigh Woods with some friends, enjoyed a wine and cheese night while catching up with some of my favorites, took myself on a few autumn walks, visited my old work and let myself feel content with just doing nothing!
I will be giving you some more in depth catch up with a lot of these things, as it seemed to be the perfect time to play with my camera! Not having my laptop reminded me that I do photography firstly because I enjoy it, not just for the blog, and sometimes it's nice to go out with a camera, even if the images are just for me to see
