Over the last 8 days we have been having a bathroom refitted.  It was in real need for doing and I’ve wanted to change it since I moved here 11 years ago.

Now anyone whos had this done knows what its like.  First of all you have the enjoyment and confusion of chosing all the bits you want and then trying to choose tiles, whilst trying to picture it in your mind. Then the upheavel and the the lack of amenities.
We were happy we’d made a good choice of items and tiles and started to plan out the tiling.  Four hours later we still hadn’t worked out the best way to put the border tile around the room, balancing them evenly under the window and above units that were yet to be fitted.

Anyway, we sorted it and work started last week.  Now it is nearly done, or atleast nearly fully tiled and grouted.  It was all looking really good, then the grout was added and wow! It has really come to life and brought the mosiac tiles alive.  This makes the sound really bright and gaudy, but they are not.  They are simple grey, black, glass and chrome squares but the white grout shows them off!

Even when this was started last week we were still trying to find items, like a bath panel.  Simple you’d think, yes, if you want gloss white or wood, but we wanted something to match the style.  We found it eventually after hours or web trawlling.  I must have spent hours and hours looking for each item we ordered, but its worth it.

Its great and has worked out cheaper then going to a bathroom store to supply and fit. We might do some snazzy close-up photos too, just to play around with and post here.

I finally managed to add some new images to my website last night.  Apart from the holiday images I havent uploaded any ‘normal’ images for about 1 year!

Sadly I still didn’t have time to add them to the latest page, but at least I have got something done.

These are from summer last year on the Isle of Wight

Hope to upload some more soon!

… and its only 9am!

Just checked my Flickr account this morning, to see if I had any new comments and wow, I’ve had 115 views already this morning.  My last best was 99 and that was after uploading what turned out to be my most interesting image on there.   Click on the MyFlickr Page in the links section on the left to view them yourself.

Back in the beginning of December a friend of mine asked if I was on Twitter.  The answer was no.  I have never really embraced Twitter, nor to be honest understood it or its benefits.  However, I took the hint and set a twitter account.  (See the link on my homepage or in the side menu)

Since setting it up and investigating more, I can see a bit of a use for LeoPhotography, but no benefit on a personal level.  So when time permits and there is something worth twittering about, I will enter the odd post or 2.
