I think Linda looks fab in this shot!



Can't sleep right now (it's 2am) but I should really head back to bed. Damn this insomnia!!

A blast of colour!



So grey and dull (again) today. I really need to get some fresh air, haven't left the house in almost 5 days.

Something surreal for Scifi Friday!

Linda has returned to work now. I have the house to myself but...



....there are loads of chores to do. I may save a few for when she gets home ;)

On a slightly more serious note, I am still signed off work. The increased medication is helping quite a bit but I still have a fair way to go as yet. Leaving the house is still difficult, anxiety is presenting a massive hurdle and sleeping (without disturbances) is still a real problem. But, I am getting there....eventually.

Very wintery today but a photo to warm my thoughts :)



The day we shot this it was utterly freezing but Linda passed through the pain threshold to deliver one of my favourite shoots.

It's gotten colder again! And somewhat drizzly.



Looks like Linda is digging her Hunter boots out again.

Ack, at a loss today. Sleep has been great but shall I read a book to unwind/relax or go for a walk?



If I can talk Linda into a drive out somewhere, I think it may be a walk!

2011 is now here and I hope it brings everyone what they wish for!



(Personally I'm hoping for more of the above!)

So, how did you spend your celebration? For us it was quiet, pleasant and a nice end to quite a difficult year. And no hangover either!

Scifi Friday! Random thought of the day. Angelina Jolie for the UFO movie makeover?



Time to break out some movies, horrid weather and it's cold/damp. Brrr!

Happy birthday to my lovely wife!



(Although my patience is at a low due to trekking around sales, lol).

In other news, decided to delete my facebook account for a couple of boring reasons, mainly too many work peeps on there and keeping up with 300 people was getting too much!

Still, frees up my time for other things now.

Festive Linda is Festive!



I cannot believe that Christmas day is such a short time away. Still not feeling that great or festive but here's to appearances!

Linda has now broken up for the holidays and is making me endure mucho xmas tunes.



The cats are not impressed.

This resting up and doing nothing business is a bit tiring. Height of my day so far - a cheese pasty and a call from Linda to see how I am doing.

So, decided to tidy up the house and do some housework. If Linda were here, I might make her dress up for my amusement.



But she's not here so a photo will have to suffice.

Isn't the news rather depressing?

Media I am currently indulging in:

Daily Photo #1059

Still deep and crisp and even here (the snow, that is).

Keeping the house toasty with the heating on 24/7 right now. Cats are enjoying being allowed to wander the house.

Things are still up and down. Maybe one good day in the last seven but that is quite an improvement. The increase in meds is sending me very tired at the most weird of times. Still, an improvement (even a slight one is good news). Carpe diem!



Dreaming of a snowy NYC. At least Manhattan doesn't grind to a halt.

Media I am currently indulging in:

Daily Photo #1058

The country seems to have ground to a halt due to the weather conditions but I am going stir crazy being stuck indoors so we're going off for a walk soon!



Woke up with Linda gazing at me this morning. Cats need to be fed now, laters!

I'm doing a scifi Saturday today.



Due to the snow, we're just watching many movies and telly series on DVD and Bluray. It's too cold to contemplate anything but hot drinks, soup and a warm house.

Good times.

Nothing says Scifi Friday more than the retro stylings of a classy silver catsuit!



Back to the duvet with a good book and a diet coke for me now and maybe a movie. Or more sleep ;)

Shattered like a glass elephant.

For anyone that knows Harlan Ellison, I'm taking the piss a little there and riffing on his immortal short, Shattered like a Glass Goblin.

Why?

Well, cool things are made of glass for a start. The foremost being Mr Glass. Then there's the stuff your drinks come in. Again, glass.

OK, there is a point here. The last time I was in therapy (circa 1999), my therapist asked me to "name" my depression. Back then I gave it something trite like "bastard" but as I have gotten older, the condition has become more and more off limits. People accept it is there but they do not acknowledge it. Or want to acknowledge it. Hence, the "elephant in the room". In this case, the fragility of discourse has rendered it in glass. It is not enough to even acknowledge its existence but the mere recognition of it and dealing with it (as an outsider), renders it transparent. And breakable.

So, this time around....the glass elephant.

Today's photo.



Appropriate. And cheerful.

Media I am currently indulging in:

Still not great and have been signed off work for the next three weeks with a change of meds.



Duvet is still captivating me but trying to think of good times and places, in this case it's Manhattan where we spent our 16th wedding anniversary last year and a nice segue into my chosen media of the day.

Ack. Feeling all of my 40 years today. Things haven't been that great of late with a slight spike in my depression so.....trying to distract myself and waiting for a call from my physician/G.P.



So, a person that always cheers me up. Back to the duvet for me now.

Scifi Friday!



Still going with the 1960's retro look with this week. I have some new shoots planned but it is about finding the time/location and props.

So much to do this weekend with so little time on my hands right now after a few days of feeling poorly but I think rest is on the cards.

Art installation, NYC.



Blue skies all the way today but it's not a warm one. Thinking of slightly warmer times, in the high 90's in Chelsea (where the above photo was taken), New York during September is keeping me going although seeing frozen fields and trees was rather evocative today.
