Its been awhile!

I was having a computer tidy up last night thanks to Google deciding to shut down Google Reader and in the process of migrating my hundreds of pages, RSS feeds and blogs I follow it seems Turning Back to Home  had become lost in the internettysphere.

It took me awhile to get around it with some Internet cunning I made up on the spot which involved some colourful language and violent key stabbing which may have left my finger tips slightly bruised. When I spoke to DH about it he offered up no words of wisdom but instead chose to point out that I have not posted anything for ages.

So here I am most likely avoiding doing something else or pretending to be doing important business and finally posting something. DH if your dinner is not cooked tonight this is why ( hehe yes I know its only 3pm but I am now tired from using my brain and need to nap).

Rain Rain Glorious Rain

We are heading into Autumn here in Aotearoa the land of the long white cloud, the Easter break has just past and we have been blessed with a second summer reaching temperatures in the mid twenty's which seems crazy.

All our plants have been dug in with the promise of a bountiful harvest come spring/summer which will only happen if we have some much needed rain. Here is a Photo I took last year while on a house hunting trip to remind me of how the coming winter may be.

 

I entered the Epiphanie Camera Bags + Zenfolio Picture It photo contest! 

Check them out and maybe enter your own "Rain" submission.

Juiced no more

I have stood down from my position as Copy Editor of Juiced Custom Automotive magazine as it was turning into a drag! Not so much for me (I love being anal about stuff) but more for the writers and the guys putting the mag together.

As the mag has grown so to did the hours required to put it all together and when those hours are clocking close to a full time job all for no pay things get a bit titchy. I have decided it will be more fun to just read it once it is printed.

One good thing has come out of it I actually have some of my photos printed in a real magazine!

Gaz Whiter D1NZ Champ

I love this for the mere fact he has managed to write the Initial 'G' with the bubbly!

  Yay for me! not as cool as having them featured on the Epiphanie blog though!

So a bit sad that the end has come so soon, although I am sure to still get updates from hubby as he slaves away for free!

I am totally needing an Epiphanie right now!

 You all know I need, must have, totally want one of these bags so Badly as I have previously blogged about my desperate need but just in case you missed it Beautiful Photo Props is having a giveaway.

Feel free to pop over and enter and don't forget if you win it is my birthday on Valentines Day and there would be no better way to show your love!
