One more Pic taken with a better camera ie NOT my iPhone :P


Nina lit up like a Christmas Tree for the Home Counties Boxer Welfare Christmas Party in St Albans last Sunday :).

The lights are from Maplins, 17 meters for £19.99. The two small trees I bought from Asda last year after Christmas for £1 each ! The red battery powered heart lights on them were from Tesco at £5 a set, and the white ones were £3 a set. The 17 meter lights are being powered by a 300w Inverter on a 70 Amp leisure battery, they run at 24 volts, and are rated for indoor or outdoor. On a fully charged 70 amp battery, they will run for 143 hours :), thats one LOOOOOOONG party ;)

Home Counties Boxer Welfare Christmas Party

Today was the Christmas Party for Home Counties Boxer Welfare, which is a Boxer DOG charity, and not a load of men and women wearing shorts and boxing gloves :S.

At the last meeting, I agreed to take Nina to the party, and use the back of her as a mobile photography studio to photograph the boxers in fancy dress for a donation of £5 to the charity.

Well, as ever, after weeks of not being started, Nina started on the button, and got us there and back faultlessly :).

Here are some photos and video of the day !

Merry Christmas ! :)


















Festive Nina !

Not had very much to report recently with Nina, Christmas has overtaken finances etc.

Talking of Christmas though, today is the Home Counties Boxer Welfare Christmas Party in St Albans, and I promised i'd take Nina and use her as a mobile studio, taking photos of the dogs in their fancy dress costumes ! I had to make her look a little festive, so got a 17 meter string of LED Christmas Outdoor Lights, a leisure battery, an invertor, and a heap of sticky back cable tie pads and picked out the outline of Nina with them. Also dressed up a couple of 3ft trees to sit on each leg of the awning. I was kindly lent a couple of 10kg weights for the awning legs just in case there is a bit of wind around. The plan is to set up in the carpark of the hall that the party is being held at, and take photos of the dogs at £5 each, all of which goes to the charity. The photos to be emailed. Prints can be arranged for a further £2.50. Lets hope its a success, and if not, at least Nina will be adding to the festivities and hopefully making a couple of people smile :).

Heres a quick video clip from last night just after id finished putting them on :)
