I loved photographing The Royal Pavilion, in Brighton. It is a stunning architectural masterpiece. Built in the Indo-Saracenic style, it features intricate domes and minarets. It was once a seaside retreat for the King, however, it’s now a major tourist attraction known for its exotic charm and lavish design.
The alarm went off at the usual time this morning. However, usually on a Saturday morning, I have a little bit of a lie-in, but not this morning as I was working today.
The alarm went off, and I pressed the snooze button. Yes, I’m Frances de Snoozer. 😂 As a matter of fact, I pressed the Snooze button three times this morning, then on the final time I wanted to have another minute in bed and then another minute! It was hard work getting out of bed this morning, however I eventually managed to kick myself out of bed. 😀
Someone has just asked if I have ever tried getting ‘someone else’ to kick me out of bed in the mornings. I don’t think so. 😁 I am one of those women who likes to wake up gently in the mornings.🙂 If I am gently woken, then I am in a better frame of mind for the rest of the day. I like to have a good stretch before I get out of bed.
Getting out of bed in the mornings can be like emerging from a cosy cocoon into the wide world. It often involves a battle between the warmth of the blankets and the call of responsibility.😊
Have you ever tried going to the loo, in a public toilet, whilst wearing culottes? It’s a blooming nightmare! Today I had to take off my culottes and hang them on a nearby peg/hook, before sitting on the loo, otherwise the bottoms would be dragging on the floor. Ewww yuk!
It’s as bad as trying to sit on the loo, whilst wearing a ‘Onesie.’ 😁
*Please note that I refuse to post photos of me trying to go to the loo, whilst wearing a Onesie. Some things are better kept private and not for public viewing. 🙂
This is one of my favourite songs by Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley. I particularly liked the film “Dirty Dancing” because the lead female character was named Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman. Frances, my namesake. 🙂
I love this Bonnie Tyler song. ❤️🩹
I am listening to this song, “Highway To The Danger Zone” by Kenny Logins….. I am a big fan of Top Gun. 😀😐
I have visited Brighton on a few occasions. It is a favourite place to visit.
Brighton is a vibrant seaside city located on the south coast of England. It’s known for its pebble beaches, iconic pier with amusement arcades and rides, and the Royal Pavilion, a lavish former royal residence with Indo-Saracenic architecture. The city has a bohemian atmosphere, with a thriving arts scene, quirky shops, and a diverse array of cafes and restaurants. It’s also popular for its nightlife, with numerous bars, clubs, and live music venues.
Seeing Westlife in concert is like being transported into a realm of euphoria. The energy is infectious, and their harmonies fill the air, creating a mesmerizing atmosphere. The crowd becomes a sea of swaying bodies, united in their love for the music. Each song feels like a journey through nostalgia and emotion, leaving you with memories that linger long after the final note fades away.

Do you vote in political elections?
Yes, Of course. I have been voting ever since I was old enough to vote.
Thanks the the Suffragettes, In 1918 Parliament passed a law which allowed some women to vote for the first time in history. However ber then, a woman’s place was in the home, taking care of the children. Women fought and died to allow us the opportunity to vote today.
We were all allowed to vote for our country, And to help make changes to our country, by voting wisely, for the person who is likely to make those changes that will affect to future of our country. 🙂
Which reminds me…..about 18 years ago, I spent the morning in Grantham. I visited the museum and the original home of Margaret Thatcher. Where all of those photographs went, I do not know. It was during this time that I started to notice photographs going missing. I have no idea how to find photo backups from that long ago. I would have been using a different account back in those days. It was in the days I first started using the internet. Sadly, I cannot remember the name of the account, to find those photos. I can remember the email being FSmail. I would love to find all of those photographs again. I used to have a little cool pixel camera back then. 😎
