I have the predicament that I want to use it mostly for posting pictures and unfortunately when posting blogs on a mac (which is the computer I work on most), this option is unavailable.<br /><br />Anyway, I thought I'd let you know that I got engaged about a month ago - 14 December to be exact - to my closest friend, Nick Martin.<br /><br />I will post a few photos (when I can get to a PC) of Nick and I and the beautiful ring.<br /><br />As for the big day, we have decided to be married in Monmouth (S. Wales), just over the border from Bristol, on 6th May this year.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14795287-113688547382381615?l=stetler.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00451912126250093529noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14795287.post-1124295357715449822005-08-17T17:09:00.000+01:002005-08-17T17:19:49.636+01:00Art club met last night again, with most of the members missing (except Thom and I), but Nick came along to finish off a painting that we'd started months ago. Somethimes that's the best way of doing things I have found - start a piece of work, and if you're not happy with it or get sick of it, put it away for a few months and come back to it. Then a few hours later... hey presto...<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4679/1350/1600/are_you_mad1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4679/1350/320/are_you_mad1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />(After being inspired by some work at <a href="http://www.leekygallery.co.uk"target="_blank">Leeky Gallery</a>, we bought an old print from a charity shop and had fun stenciling over it)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14795287-112429535771544982?l=stetler.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00451912126250093529noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14795287.post-1124124841293234892005-08-15T17:49:00.000+01:002005-08-15T17:54:01.293+01:00<strong>fourth i went to a gig.</strong> at the fleace again. my favourite place to take pics of the lights...<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4679/1350/1600/lights2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4679/1350/200/lights2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14795287-112412484129323489?l=stetler.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00451912126250093529noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14795287.post-1124124358457250772005-08-15T17:43:00.000+01:002005-08-15T17:45:58.456+01:00<strong>thirdly we went to the Bristol Balloon Fiesta.</strong> it was pretty beautiful so i took lots of photos, but none very interesting, so i'm not gonna bother posting them. i will however show you photos when i go up in a balloon some time in the next few weeks. yup, i won a free ride!! yippeeee!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14795287-112412435845725077?l=stetler.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00451912126250093529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14795287.post-1124123999684635362005-08-15T17:32:00.000+01:002005-08-17T17:23:38.450+01:00<strong>second, we painted.</strong> some friends and i turned my kitchen into a painting studio and got to work. it was so much fun, and i realised how much i love the smell of acrylic paint!!

It was a day of bands... 10 in total I think, with <a href="http://www.underdown.uk.com"target="_blank">Underdown</a> headlining! The boys put on an amazing show (their last for a while as they are hibernating to write lots of lovely new songs). I tried out my new digital camera on them and realised that it may take me a little while to figure out how to use it at indoor gigs events. Never-the-less, I ended up amusing myself with swirly shots of lights...<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4679/1350/1600/lights1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4679/1350/320/lights.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14795287-112291317308062441?l=stetler.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00451912126250093529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14795287.post-1122655018251152612005-07-29T17:31:00.000+01:002005-07-29T17:37:58.016+01:00I realise that in the excitement of having my own space on the big world wide web, i have been posting lots of silly-ness and if I continue this way, I fear that this place could easily get filled up with too much junk.
