Photo Blogging Challenge: Games

This year I thought I'd practice my photography skills, so I am taking part in a Photo Blogging Challenge by PJ from A'lil Hoohaa.


 

The idea is to take photos that match a theme throughout the month and post your five favourite pictures on the last day of the month. There is no rule on equipment - you can use a mobile phone, film, point-and-shoot or DSLR if you wanted to.

 This months theme was 'Games'. It was actually quite hard for me to be creative with this word so I took it literally.

1. Pikachu

 Tristan and I own a Wii U and we play games every now and then. I am learning to play Super Smash Bros. There are so many different characters but I find Pikachu super, super cute so I always pick him. So here we are, beating the red team.

2. Sims 4

 Yep, I am playing Sims! My secret is exposed. If I'm having a lazy weekend I like to stay in my pyjamas, relax, eat chocolate and play Sims. For hours. Sims 4 came out in September last year, close to my birthday, so Tristan got it for me as a present. 

3. Birds

 Near my work there is a big field where football training is held almost every week, mostly when it is sunny. Seagulls are the only ones playing in the morning.
4. Dominoes

 Before Tristan and I started dating, I remember clearly one evening we decided to play Dominoes. I ended up losing one piece but I'm too sentimental to replace it.


 5. Saboteur 

Saboteur is a card game I haven't played for years. It reminds me of my uni years, friends and summer. Unfortunately, I can't remember much of the rules but this photo challenge has encouraged me to take them out of the drawer and plan a game night with friends and family. 



If you are interested in seeing what other people have come up with and how they spent their fun January in 'Games' check out this PJ blog post. 

 I am ready for February's theme!

    Great job on this month's theme! I like the different games and such. Cool show with the laptop. And Saboteur is a game I've wanted to play, but haven't yet. I might have to pick it up to try it out. I really like the domino shot, too.

    So glad you've joined in. Dominoes is always a favourite and given the story you told, I absolutely understand why you'd want to hold onto this set with the missing piece! The photo of all the seagulls on the football field is fantastic - so glad you included that one to really mix things up. Looking forward to seeing your take on February's theme...whatever that may be!

    My kids have played plenty of Super Smash Bros. Since I have plenty of kids, I've never played with them.
    Dominoes are a great game, even when you are missing a piece. :)
    I especially like the soccer shot. I've spent too many hours to count on soccer fields, but we've never had sea gulls on ours!

    Have to admit I'm not familiar with the Pikachu, Saboteur or Sims games. But I do recognize Dominos! And I really love the clouds in your shot of the football field. Nice selection of games

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

10 things to do in Rockhampton

I have still a couple more posts coming up about my Australian trip. I hope they are an interesting read! After Brisbane , we flew to Tristan's hometown Rockhampton where we spent the remaining 2 weeks of our holiday. Rockhampton is a small city in Queensland with a population of around 62,000 people. Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which means it is a good place for tourism and outdoor activities. Known as the "Beef Capital of Australia" there is much more to do than just sit in the pub and eat burgers! I have made a list of 10 things you can do around Rockhampton. 1. Rockhampton Kershaw Botanical Gardens are a well visited attraction in Rockhampton. The park has many paved walking paths, rest areas, drinking fountains and beautiful scenery with many palms and tropical flowers.   2. Quay Street in Rockhampton is full of beautiful architecture and old buildings. The city centre (main street) is not very big but I think we spent at ...
