Purchased a new tripod this week so was all gung-ho to get out there and try it..... and it's been raining all weekend. It's coming down in buckets as I type this. I guess summer truly is over. Finally turned the boiler back onto the timer again as it was getting too cold at night and first thing in the morning.
So no sunshine I needed to find something to take a pic of to try out my new toy.
Music...
Picked up the new Arctic Monkeys album a few weeks ago. LOVE IT! And this single is absolutely fab, makes me want to dance around the flat every time I hear it.

We tried to waltz to it but just couldn't seem to get the rhythm right??
I look forward to seeing your pics with the new tripod. Funny you posted jelly beans as they play prominently in my current short story I'm working on.
I've moved to Scotland!
This blog is a place for me to ramble on about my ongoing experiences of trying to fit into a new country & culture - be it fun, adventurous or a complete and total disaster.
It's also a way to keep in contact with my friends & family back home in Canada. And surprisingly, it's also introduced me to some new friends out there in blog world.
Thanks for stopping by.

Dad says "see...they play Fenders too.."
You're right! I totally want to dance...maybe in the rain...with a tripod.
Ah, I love the Artic Monkeys. I haven't picked up the new CD yet, but I love driving to this song when it comes on the radio.
Mmm, Jelly Belly... I can't eat them, as once I start, that's it. All gone.
I look forward to seeing your pics with the new tripod. Funny you posted jelly beans as they play prominently in my current short story I'm working on.
Did summer ever really happen here anyway? We had the odd day of sunshine down my way but most of August was filled with rain! How depressing...
lovely photo. it suggests some kind of flag. Perhaps a new flag for the UN.
I love the jellybean picture.
