I just wanted to share a couple of photos from my week, although there will be more to come as I have spent some time in Jersey this week and took quite a few snaps. This week was all about food (many of my weeks are!) It was valentine’s day so I spent a lovely evening at home with hubby. Dinner consisted of steak pie with vegetables and a chocolate mousse topped with a heart chocolate. There was also quite a bit of champers… Yummy! I also seem to be going a bit mad for stir fry and miso soup (well at least that’s healthy I suppose!) Keep an eye out for some Jersey photos on the blog next week.

It’s time for another screencast. This one is about basic photo editing. I am a Photoshop user, but I am aware that not everyone is able to have access to Photoshop. Whilst it is a brilliant piece of software, it’s expensive, and it is has so many functions that it can be a little overwhelming. Thankfully, the good folks at Photoshop offer a free, online photo editor on their website www.photoshop.com and I have to say, it’s really good. This screencast gives you a little demonstration of what Photoshop Express Editor can do. I hope you enjoy it.

Here are a few Instagram shots summing up the past week or so. I have been trying to walk a bit more this week to increase my physical activity levels and I have been managing to hit 10,000 steps almost every day (I am monitoring this using a Fitbit – it’s fabulous! I got mine off Amazon). Not only is walking a nice chance to think, but it is also a chance to capture a few photos of my lovely surroundings, here in Guernsey. To counter the increase in exercise, I have been baking (oops!) I made a lovely lemon drizzle cake (not too healthy) but I also made sushi, which is much healthier! It’s been a good week and, despite the cold weather, I think spring is on its way.

I sometimes get emails from blog readers asking me for for help with their own blogs. I am always happy to offer advice (despite the fact that I am far from being a blogging expert!) However, it’s often hard to explain things over email. So I have been playing around with screencasting. This is my first screencast, so it’s a little ropey. But I hope it’s helpful to a few bloggers out there! The screencast demonstrates inserting images from Flickr (as HTML code) into a blog post. Whilst it is demonstrated on WordPress, I imagine that most blogging platforms work in a similar way. I’d love to hear any comments you might have and if there are any topics that you’d like me to try and cover in a screencast.

Yesterday I went for a nice walk with hubby and, whilst it was mighty chilly, I don’t think we have any chance of seeing snow here in Guernsey. We walked around Pembroke and I took a couple of photos which I thought I’d share here on the blog. Enjoy…

Here is a little insight into my week through a few Instagram snapshots. It’s been a good week. There’s been lots of knitting. The Damask KAL is going really well with lots of people getting involved (it’s not too late to join in if you are interested!) I have also cast on a lovely beret using yarn from the wonderful people at Toft. I am reviewing some of their yarn and a pattern book at the moment. So far, I am totally in love with both… watch this space for further details. I also got out for a run this week for the first time in about 3 months. I have been suffering with some back problems, so that, and a few other distractions, meant that I have not been exercising much. It felt GREAT to get outside again. To top it all off, I enjoyed several coffees with friends… one of my favourite things ever.

I have found another iPhone photography app that I really like, this one is called Instagram. I am a bit of a late adopter of Instagram, it turns out everyone is using it, even President Barack Obama! (If he’s doing it, I simply must get on this bandwagon!)
