My dad- being a man, was in need of assistance in getting Christmas presents for my mum and sister. Being the good daughter I am , I agreed to go Manchester (so I can get out of Liverpool city center, as this is where I am every day) and do some shopping. But also being the good blogger and photography enthusiast, I saw this as a great opportunity to take my camera and get some great shots. Plus I heard that Christmas markets have opened there already so a bit of festive spirit would be nice, right?
That all sounded way too good. Which means something was about to go down.
Brilliant ay? As that was the whole reason we traveled there.
I did not want any of that to effect our day. So I try to distract him by having him pose for me a little and giving him the camera to take few shots of me. You know, so I can show off my outfit on here. Worked!
I managed to drag him into few shops and sneak in a little something for myself, into his shopping basket. As the tummies felt hungry we went to get some Italian at Bella Italia. My pizza was just so damn nice. I could have some every day, I swear.
This is when the last drop of my patience ran out. I turned on the camera, as I wanted to connect to my phone to see if I can edit few shots. Perhaps show off over on instagram, how cool my dad is. None of the pictures has been saved. I mean they have been saved. They just wouldn' t show up. There was a major error with them. And this has not showed up once for me before. And it meant that about 5 hours worth of shots- really nice once may I add) have been gone. I felt like crying a little.
This is when my Aperol spritz came and cheered me up a little.
Over all, the day has been lovely. We even saw some sun once it stopped raining. And there is nothing better then the chats with my old man. It just really sucked that universe decided to screw me over with those few details.
Every story has a silver lining though. In this case it is the vlog I managed to create for you and actually saved and uploaded to the You and the Tube also known as YouTube.
How have you started your festive season? Are you trying to just ignore it for now? Let me know over on the instagram (@DeniVev) perhaps.
Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest
