Visit Photos

Here are three from the mum’s visit, taken on Saturday morning:

Being sick isn’t fun

Nope. No siree. I’m definately on the mend, but it’s been five days of a sore neck, aching chest, headaches, nausea, sniffles, coughing. Mariah and Caira haven’t been in much better. Mariah caught the bug first and worst of us all, and Caira’s been off her food for the most part.

Double plus ungood.

Photos!

We went to Angel Park the week before last - sodas were quaffed, food was eaten, and fun was had by all. Best of all, the sunset was incredibly spectacular. There’s nothing in my life that’s matched watching a storm closing in from three sides, preceeded by a wall of dust several miles high. Amazing stuff.

At some point I need to put more photos up, I had some really pretty ones taken.

Next off, thank you to everyone who have sent us congratulatory cards. Mariah’s…a little unsure over being called “Mrs Mark Grealish,” but I know you all meant the best. Thank’ee all.

Oh what a world!

Today started last night, with me falling asleep reading this excellent article. Patsy O’Neill gave me the first bit good of advice about photography: Always carry your camera with you, and the article gave me my second (paraphrased): If you only show people your good photos, they’ll think you’re good. And hey, that works perfectly fine for me!

Work was…bleh. There pretty much wasn’t anything to do as the lovely weather kept the customers out. I did make a child cry, accidently, while her mother was filling out a cheque. I got the child’s attention and made my rawr face, as I’m wont to do. Tears swiftly followed. It was funny, although I’ve probably scarred a child for life now.

I got off work early as I skipped lunch, bought some shower gel and then had the bottle open and destroy my bag on the way home. Exciting , isn’t it? Ah well, I threw myself into tweaking the “Bill” photo from yesterday and came out with an excellent wallpaper:

I went up the Dyke Road at after seven o’clock and wound up doing better than usual on the crud:good photo ratio - four good photos and one okay out of a total of 86. Behold:

Just some trees..

And now I get to go and delete all of my ununsed photos, as I’m effectively out of hard drive room (/home is the important partition here):
