Another little woof awakening this morning at 6.30am…. They’ve become regular wee alarm clocks these days. I did try and go back to sleep but it was never going to happen.

So it’s been a stay at home kind of day today except we popped into the pub at 3pm for our next door neighbour, Kenny’s birthday. We’ve managed to sit outside all afternoon, even under spots of rain and the ominous clouds! It was nice to see everyone and catch up! Didn’t even take a photo!’

I’ve done some housework and sorted out my clothes drawers but for most of the day I’ve been sat on my laptop… as you do on a Sunday…. Not!

I know that I want to do something more with my photography so I have downloaded the Lightroom app, along with Snapfish and Photobox. I need to start seeing what some of them look like printed out.

I’ve also set up a FB page today and decided to call it Just Jules Photography. Please click the link and give the page a like, she says, very nervously!!

It’s not about me, it’s not about the Rambling Sloth… it’s Just Jules.

I’m not certain what will come of it yet but it’s a start. I want to be able to share my photos and not just add them to the blog. It’s the one thing I feel very passionate about.

I love taking photos. I love looking for the next shot. Sometimes a “point and press” photo turns out to be stunning! I take photos when I walk and photos when I jog. I don’t currently spend hours setting them up. This may encourage me to spend a bit more time looking for that next subject.

You should have seen me this morning with the Lightroom app…… I was like a wee kid having tantrums…. There’s a reason I’ve not done anything like this before. It’s always been too much like hard work! I couldn’t understand half of the tutorial and had to rewatch sections countless times… but I got there and I now understand how the app works. There are a whole host of options that may be too much for my calm, relaxed brain these days…. But it’s a definite step up from where I was this morning.

I am really pleased that I actually got the ball rolling. Several people have told me I should do more with my photos…. I am listening, eventually! Gayle gave me one great big push earlier this weekend.

In an other much lighter note…. I had a wee photo shoot with my Vinted and Charity Shop dresses, last night. Craigie made a great photographer!

This outfit was from the British Heat Foundation in Largs.

Dress, £5.50, bolero cardigan £6.50 and fascinator £8 with a tag on it that said £40!! Whole outfit £20 and I do NOT do fuschia pink…. Ever!!

This next one also the British Heart Foundation.

Dress was £6.50 and is from Oasis.

This next one was from Vinted and was £3!!!!

Next one is a Shein dress from Vinted for £7.

And finally my least favourite…. From Vinted and £4…. It’s the tightest one that I got so I’ll probably sell it on.

I’m showing the one from behind as it was a bit of a tummy hugger. 😂

I honestly love that I’ve got such great deals for all of these dresses. I need to sell some more on Vinted again soon…. I still have quite a few dresses that I won’t wear anymore so someone else could make use of them. If I can eradicate the dog hair that is.

Well that was the weekend…. Only 6 more sleeps until our summer holiday so will be a busy week at Tartan trying to get all my ducks in a row 🦆🦆🦆🦆

What could possibly go wrong?!?

Stay safe everyone 🦆🦆🦆
