Photos and bits

Today's word is Cajole: To persuade with flattery.  It's actually a pretty useful since this is generally not a rare thing and now I have a word to describe it.  It's like a compression of the other words (ie to persuade with flattery) so as to make your sentences shorter :)  I actually feel a little like I've gone back to school doing this everyday but if I'm going to be a teacher knowing more words is always useful =)


I've decided to read through my list daily so I dont forget anything.  At least until I'm sick of reading it and I have most of it in my head.   Anyway yesterday I realised I forgot to write what I liked about the day.  I liked most that I woke up in the new year with the sun shinning and blue skies, it was such a beautiful day =)  I think I'm going to leave it till the next day to write what I liked about the day that way I've experienced the full day before I write anything :)  I may or may not always post this and the word I learned today I shall see how it goes.  Maybe I'll add it to the side or something and that way I can play with photoshop more =)


Today I'm going to post my holiday photos.  I really didn't take as many as I'd like but I took some which is better than none so enjoy =)


This is three hazlenuts in one big shell.  It was really strange and I kept it but now I've lost it :(

This is the snow at my grandparents house =) It was so nice and made everything look so pretty :)



Whilst at my grandparents I went for a walk round the corner to the field to take some photos =)



 Pretty =)

 
This is my grandma's awesome nativity scene!!!!!  Yes that's right there's a dinosaur, two elephants, a frog, a cow, a lion, a chicken and her chicks, an angel, either donald duck or one of huey, dewey and louie, and a dog dressed as a detective!!!!  It would make for such a good story just explaining why each of them are there hahahahahaha




This is the washing up bowl full of stuffing me and my aunt made for christmas day!!!






The tasty turkey so tasty since it was cooked in 250g of butter!!!!!



This is my and my aunt on christmas day =)  I got the scarf for christmas and I love it it's so soft and it's made from reused yarn :)

Me and the bro =)  Oh yeah and do you like my new hair? :) I will post a better pic when I find one, I'm terrible with photos especially when planned the best ones of me I have found are those ones taken when I dont realise that they're being taken although then tend to be the worst ones too....




We all sat round and sang whilst the bro played guitar :)



And I think that'll do on the photo front for now =)  I must get back to real life and the task in hand; brave the supermarket and buy bread hahahaha it'll be a relaxing evening of games and fun tonight before getting back to packing and tidying tomorrow.


Have a wonderful evening =)

New hair is FIT! Also, when I first saw that hazelnut thing I was like 'WTF?' before I saw the caption - looks a little freaky!
