Waffle and Whinge

I can’t believe it’s been almost three weeks since my last entry. Where does the time go? And I’ve hardly taken any photographs in that time. In fact, it seems as though I haven’t done much at all really. Reet and I did go out and buy some pictures for the living room. It’s looking quite homely now.

  The only other thing I’ve done is to sign up for a flickr account. I found another company that looks really cool – Smugmugs – but they want money for the privilege of joining them. I’m not ready for that just yet. I’ll stick with Flickr until I know exactly what I want from such a site. If anybody wants to visit, here’s the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26420206@N02/ although there are only a few photos uploaded at the moment, and most of those have recently graced these pages. When I get a chance I’ll add some more.

  I might have some to add after this weekend as I’ve been asked by my boss to take some pictures. Our office has drummed up a couple of seven – a – side football teams to take part in a charity event in Basildon and I’ve been nominated to take the team photos. The weather is looking quite promising so it should be a good day, especially as the bar is open till midnight after the trophies have been awarded.

  I did take one photo today. This is really for Jenny http://journals.aol.co.uk/jmoqueen/MyLife who does her shopping by bike. Lately it’s been giving her some grief and I suggested she mug the postman for his one:

  This is state of the art Jen, it’s got a bell and a chain guard and everything. Three gears, cable brakes and even a stand. There’s room for another basket on the back too. Oh, and see that black thing just under the saddle and hooked around the wheel? That’s the lock.

So much better than the penny farthings we used to use. I used to get dizzy just climbing into the saddle!

  Okay, that’s enough twaddle for today.

  Toodle-pip.
