I’ve seen this Friday Fragments meme on a few blogs recently, and it’s just perfect for today… so without further adieu, here are my fragmented thoughts for this cold and rainy Friday evening.
- The party I was going to go to tomorrow has been cancelled due to the crap weather… so I have a free day that I hadn’t planned and I’m already feeling at a bit of a loss.
- Think I’ll go shopping though for a new handbag
- I’m going to finish my nieces pressies to send to New Zealand and hopefully they get them before Xmas! I’ve been very slack for the last few years so I’m DETERMINED to get them nice gifts to make up a little!
- Oh heck, I suppose I’d also get the school teachers presents too, considering the schools break up soon.
- Lance finally found a car!! Woohoo!! So we’ll be a 2 car family again from next week
Yay I have my freedom back! - I’m eyeing out a new lens. I really really want to get a 70-200mm f2.8 IS, but… it’s freaking expensive… but I am doing quite a few weddings next years that’ll pay for the lens and I need the lens for the weddings… and I’ve had an offer from someone in Europe to bring it back for me so I’ve worked out I can save R5000 by buying it there, rather than in SA. But… it’s a LOT of money.
- Madi’s husband is doing some work at our house at the moment and breaking down the massive carport that we’ve never used and which is rotting. Now I have to redo part of the garden! Fun, but again expensive!
- I got asked today whether I was OK, and almost started crying. I can’t think about my feelings right now… I can’t handle it. So, I walked away and didn’t say anything, it’s better that way.
- I’m so very cold… I should really go to bed and sleep but the photos… they won’t edit themselves
I’m obsessed with money at the moment, can you tell?

Yay for returning to the world of two car families! I think it’s so interesting, though, that just a generation ago very few families had two cars. Now, it seems like a “must have”. Funny how things can change so quickly.

Yay on returning to being a 2-car family again – having that ‘freedom’ is so freeing, isn’t it?
Happy FF late!
Angel
I’m so glad you finally sorted out the car situation!
As for the lens… I truly think its justified.

“Are you okay?” is a surefire way to make any woman lose it, isn’t it? Hope you’re doing better now. I’m sure that lens will help!
Money is on my mind, too, especially with the holidays coming. I’m a little sad, because this Christmas will mark a second year of being broke. I know that sounds bad (a lot of people have had less for much longer), but one year represented a tough spot. Two represents a pattern, and that isn’t good. Not much we can do about it though….
Jenty, your photos are wonderful. I especially like the one in your header, of course, but the others in your Flickr stream are great as well. I love how a little girl in flowers makes for perfect shots
Thanks for joining in FF. Aren’t they freeing? Hope to see you again
