A SNIPPET IN TIME

Because kids and cats and even our homes change so much, sometimes even as I snap I feel that all I'm trying to hold on to is an irrevocably tiny moment in time.

2021 is almost halfway gone.

STAY AND PLAY

Like the rest of the world, we had nowhere to go, so we checked in at a local stay on the Pea's sixth birthday. It was very relaxing, and very nice, but I can't believe I'm going to be the mama of a primary school kid soon.

AT THE YARDS

The little Pea was at a pottery class near home (we past by the place one day and she didn't want to leave), so I took my FM2 for a spin. It was fun but what can I say, the light at high noon looks really... ...really... ...terrible.

Next time I need to sign her up for the 4.30pm class *lol*.

ONE SUNDAY

Weather has been so good recently so we went for a picnic. This was Fujifilm but the orange sun made everything looked rather Kodak (hmm... ...I'm not sure I like it).

On a side note, the photo shop I go to is one of the last remaining film labs around, so I live in constant fear that there will come a day when they tell me they're not doing this anymore, but apparently the lab lady told me that she has had lots of really young people coming in for the past year, buying and developing, so maybe there is still hope for film yet?

Though I'm amused, what is it about analogue that can be drawing these born and bred digital natives?

A DAY OFF

I'll have to admit... ...there are some things in life, that you just can't do properly with two preschoolers in tow.

Like go to a hipster cafe... ...

and take photos of your overpriced food... ...

... ...or even the fancy washroom.

p.s. I was admiring their toto washlet complete with a heated seat and an auto opening lid. It made me so nostalgic for Japan.

Take a slow walk... ...

and walk... ...

... ...and walk.

Quaint Chip Bee Gardens... ...

... ...with it's equally quaint shops.

I got to try on clothes without having to keep an eagle eye on my curious (read: rogue) toddler. She would have been playing peek-a-boo among the racks.

Thank you HC, I had a really good time.
