There’s been a lot of discussion and kerfuffle going on recently about sponsored posts, gifted items, brand-blogger relationships and the interaction with readers, followers and likers.  It’s perfectly understandable – this is fairly new territory for the Antipodean blogosphere and companies, with more and more players from both sides entering the fray every day.  I’m very new to this concept myself.

I recently had a fabulous weekend.  So fabulous in fact that it started on Friday and finished on Monday.  Now that’s a weekend!  Firstly, I attended Bloggers Brunch 2012, put on by Kids Business, and then I had a night in by myself, followed by three days in Byron with the Gorgeous Girls, whilst the Welshman took Boyo camping.  Here’s the Friday in pictures.

Shooting the Moon : Always read the instructions

I am a spoilt brat who got a fabulous new Canon G1X camera for her birthday.  She is a little darling and looks sensational in her gorgeous leather frock.  But whilst I downloaded the fabulous Beyond Snapshots by Rachel Devine of Sesame Ellis and Peta Mazey to my iPad, as well as the Canon User Guide, I haven’t done much more than look at Rachel’s very pretty pictures, and flick through the user guide,  and apparently didn’t retain a single iota of information.
