Ruth's Hen Night
Originally uploaded by Shiny Katie.

I went to my first hen night recently. Despite the fact that none of us

brought blow up dolls, a number of them appeared as the night wore on, as

did a "Hen Night" balloon and a group of amorous young men. All in all, a

perfect hen night.

I did a photoshoot for the Observer a few weeks back. It was great being fussed over by so many people. You can read the article here.

This is me as seen through a fisheye lens. Though, having said that, my nose

My big sister wisely opted to invite everyone round to watch the football to avoid having half her friends not show up. Here she is wearing her (apparently) unlucky Rednapp shirt. When it got to half time, everyone made her change it.

Now we just need to put some doors on... and paint it.... and build another
one the other side. Then it's all done! Should be all done and dusted this
time next year.

Orange BRITS - Mark II

And now let's try that again with the pic I *meant* to post.

Orange BRITS

2005-05-12T08:59:00.000+01:00

I went skiing the other week. I'd love to say that was me doing some sweet
jumps on my board, but since I spent all my time on the nursery slopes with
the 5 year olds (all of them speed demons and natural athletes who put me to
shame) that would be a lie. This is one of the teenagers competing in the
Orange BRITS Ski & Snowboarding Championships.

Vanessa and Tito return!

2005-05-11T15:44:00.000+01:00

Vanessa has finally returned to the UK after 4 years away, during which time
she picked up 2 new languages - Japanese and Spanish - and a rather charming
Peruvian husband, Tito. Having spent the past four years telling people that
she's British, she gets to come back here and have people treat her like a
foreigner again. It's the Canadian accent that fools them, you see. She may
come from good Yorkshire stock, but that's what you get when your parents
take you to North America to grow up.

Tito has taken moving to London in his stride and his english is already
pretty impressive. But he didn't know any Japanese before he moved to Japan,
so this is not an entirely new experience for him.

Greenfinch coming in to land

2005-05-11T14:53:00.000+01:00

This was one of the pics that didn't make it into the piece I did last month
about wildlife photography. I had the shutter speed set very fast, but
because it was a gloomy day the photo was a bit dark and the ISO setting I
was using to compensate made the photo a bit too noisy.

I like his expression though! The greenfinches love their sunflower seeds.
You can see how empty the feeder is. We have to refill it every couple of
days - they just can't get enough of it! Costing me a fortune!
