Reflections

This is one of the photos I’m happiest with so far. He isn’t laughing at anything particularly funny, but that I’ve just told him to stay still, and is wondering why.

Project Progress

Here, I’m emailing my partners in crime about the progress I’ve made on our sort-of-secret project, which involves the Xbox controllers and my laptop communicating. Boy, it’s going to be good.

Jackpot

The stack of black chips on the left is my original stake. Not too shabby.

Saturation

I wondered how hard it would be to saturate my camera with purely intense colour. This geranium more than did it.

Country Park Lake

This is one of the reasons that I’m glad I’m doing this; looking for pleasant if not groundbreaking photos that I might otherwise not appreciate; as a family we’ve walked past the lake for years, butit’s been a while since I stood and looked at it properly.

Scissor Sisters

Mum got two free tickets for the Scissor Sisters at the O2 (i.e. the Millennium Dome) on Tuesday. I gave the second ticket to Chris, and we both really enjoyed it; we were far closer to the stage than I was anticipating which is always a bonus; I think that being seated was a heavy factor in me enjoying myself more than when I saw them at V a couple of years ago.

First Among Sequels

I devoured the new Jasper Fforde far faster than Harry Potter (though held off on starting it). This is the start of another four Thursday Next books, and it shows. The cliffhanger is…. tall, and I don’t even want to consider the fact that I’ll have to wait at least another year for even a small piece of closure.

Bella The Labrador

Chris hosted a sending-off party for Leah (who’s in Germany for her year out), which was quite a chilled affair – as exemplified here by Bella, who definitely wasn’t going to be flustered by anything.

Lego Graveyard

This shelf used to house completed Lego models all nicely lined up, but it’s degraded over time. I keep meaning to go back to it and sort it out, but I never seem to get around to it. One day…

Hells Yes

I don’t believe anything else needs to be said.
