365 Happy Days 6,7,8/52

I think the exhaustion of being ill just took over me the past fortnight when I went back to work. I didn't post my 365 photos or link up. So apologies but you are getting a 3 week run down! 3 more days will see an end to my first year in photos. I started my 100 happy days project a year ago and then extended it after the first 100 days to 365. I didn't think I would ever see it through. Possibly the fact that I didn't put any rules and regulations on myself has helped. I post to Instagram as it is easier and I settle for phone photos most of the time. As long as I take photos every day I am doing fine and when I get time to post I play catch up.

Here are my past 3 weeks...

365 Happy Days 3/52

At the start of the week I was sure that the universe was conspiring against my 365 project when my mobile phone (which is the most convenient way I find to take photos daily) was dropped down the toilet and went to mobile phone heaven. However, I managed a few grainy photos on the old Nokia I am using while my phone gets fixed and it inspired me to take the DSLR out when I probably would've just opted for the camera phone. Here is the run down of the week ...

January 12th 

Ukulele - The happiest little instrument on the planet. I survived my first night at the ukulele orchestra that I decided to join. I did feel like an idiot on a few occasions tonight but that is just pretty standard for me on an average day. Day 308 #365HappyDays

Mum - he wrote mum for the first time today. It was a very proud mummy moment. Day 309 #365HappyDays
