Project 365 2018 Week 3
January is a pretty miserable time of the year and I’m definitely ready for the winter to be over, but the last couple of weeks seem to have flown by.
Here’s our week in pictures…
Day 14 – Sunday 14th January – my eldest and I went on a flying visit to London, especially to have a tour of Radio 1. It was really interesting to see where the programmes and the news come from. We glimpsed Matt Edmonson presenting his show and even went into the Live Lounge.
Day 15 – Monday 15th January – OK, I’m cheating a bit here. Rather than share another boring picture of something random from around my house, I thought I’d show you one of the photos I took in London yesterday. This was in Portobello Road, somewhere I’ve never visited before, despite being not that far from where I used to live in Hammersmith.
Day 16 – Tuesday 16th January – a busy, if slightly uninspiring, day of work. I started the day with a walk. I’m not sure why, but I always think pylons make for interesting photos – there’s a fair few of them on my Instagram!
Day 17 – Wednesday 17th January – it was a very cold run, but I finally feel as though my fitness is starting to come back after my injury.
Day 18 – Thursday 18th January – a busy day of work. Both boys were home late from school – one with a basketball match and one with a 6th form opening evening (it doesn’t seem a year since we were visiting his 6th form!). The guinea pigs chilled out in the kitchen. I can’t wait for it to be warm and dry enough for them to go out in the garden again.
Day 19 – Friday 19th January – work has been really busy lately, which is great. The only downside is that I end up doing housework at the weekend, which I hate. And after all these years I’ve finally accepted that I will never have enough work to justify the cost of a cleaner. On an unrelated note, I thought the hydrangeas in the garden looked very pretty.
Day 20 – Saturday 20th January – my son was up and out early for his first D of E session at school and it was a cold, damp and muddy morning at Parkrun. My daughter is going to a sleepover later – her first time with more than child. Fingers crossed they get some sleep!
Project 365 is a bloghop. Hop over to see what others have been up to this week.

Love your htydrangea shot, I keep meaning to take one here too. So jealous of your Radio One tour, bet that was interesting #365
It was really interesting, thanks! Would have been more people there on a weekday, but still good at the weekend. It’s amazing how much the hydrangeas changed in a couple of a days, I don’t suppose they will stay like that much longer!
How interesting to have a tour of Radio 1…
I’m glad you are starting to feel fitter.
Good luck to your girl with the sleepover. I hope it goes well x
The tour of Radio 1 was fantastic, thanks. Unfortunately my daughter stayed awake until 5.30, so she’s pretty exhausted today! 🙁 x
I never use to listen to the radio much but since becoming a Mum it is on a lot in my house so I bet the tour was really interesting. I am a radio 2 fan though. Hehe. #365
I only used to listen to the radio in the car, but since working from home and moving into this house four years ago, I listen to it a lot! I love Radio 1 🙂
I am so ready for spring too. It’s just so dark and blooming snowy here. Radio 1 sound s so exciting and i think I would have been really giddy 🙂 Hope the sleepover goes well!
I tried to remain calm at Radio 1 and now think maybe I was too calm! I didn’t want to appear overexcited.
Unfortunately my daughter didn’t go to sleep until 5.30, so she’s not in the best of moods today!
Love that you got to have a day in London with your eldest and sounds like a fab day. Great that you have lots of work on but boo to housework at the weekend. I agree that January is going fast but I am one of those strange people who love this month x
I’m not surprised you love it with all of the birthdays you have! I can’t wait for January to be over. the visit to London was lovely and at least the housework is over for another week now! x
how fab you got to spend the day 1 on 1 in london and a tour of the Radio 1 studios. I’ve increased the number of people I’m following on instagram and it means i’m missing out on a lot of #365ers posts during the week at the moment
I have notifications for some of my favourite people when they post on Instagram, so I don’t miss too many of their posts. It was great to visit Radio 1 and nice to spend time with just my eldest on his own.
Some amazing photos. Love the pylon one! #365
Thanks very much! I’m not sure anyone has ever complimented me on my pylon photos!
Sounds like you had a great time in London. The Portobello houses are so colourful. You look lovely in that photo. The guinea pigs are so cute, did you comb them before taking a photo?
Thanks very much! I can’t believe I’d never been to Portobello before. I didn’t comb the guinea pigs before the photo! The grey one never needs combing, but the long-haired one has to be combed every couple of days.
Your London trip sounds really interesting. I like your Portobello Road shot – I’ve never been, but it looks a fun place to explore.
Thanks very much, it is a lovely time to look around. It’s a bit like Camden, but maybe a bit posher! I always loved Camden when I lived in London.
you dont get sleep at a sleep over so not sure why they are named that, mine always came home tired and cranky.
Love the skeleton flowers, I am going for a look at mine see what they are link.
the D of E is a great scheme, Fifi is doing hers with Cadets.
I think sleepovers are evil! My daughter was awake until 5.30. She was very proud of herself, but she certainly suffered for it later!
The D of E really is a good scheme. My eldest did his bronze with Explorers.
Oh I’m sick of January now too – I want to get on with Spring! London and a Radio 1 tour sounds like fun! #365
It was really good fun, thanks. There’s not enough fun in January!
Such lovely capture of the flowers. The radio tour sounds fab. I am glad you are back out running hon xx #365
Those hydrangeas are stunning. I spotted some today but wasn’t close enough to take a photo
Thanks! I love how they look beautiful even when they’re long dead.
Oh how cool you got to tour Radio one. Got to agree that pylons can make interesting photos! Your guinea pigs are so cute!
We were so lucky to tour Radio 1. I saw Broadcasting House on the news last year and my husband loved hearing where everything was in there! My guinea pigs are definitely cute 🙂
I love that shot of Portabello Road – it’s so colourful! #project365
I hope they got some sleep at the sleepover, although if its anything like the ones mine have, i doubt it. Good to hear that you feel your fitness is coming back. I know what you mean about sixth form, I can’t believe Lochi only has 6 months left, it only seems like yesterday he was starting.
Love the close up of the hydrangea, so delicate and pretty #project365
