Anyhow, the warm weather is bringing these little beasties out. If it's sunny tomorrow I might make the best of it and do some more macro shots.

Taken in Morocco.
This guy is a "restaurant" cat. We met many during that week but I really wanted to take this one home. One of the most charismatic cats *ever*
It broke my heart when we had to leave without them.

They look like little planets.
*cute*
In other news, leaping into Monday is like taking a cold shower with a dose of reality on the side. Today has been spent doing investigations which can be both tricky but rewarding. Come 3pm today I was feeling a little more cynical than is the norm.

In a similar theme to yesterday's shot, it's another Linda portrait.
But, in all fairness I am being inspired in today's choice due to the latest Joe R. Lansdale novel, Vanilla Ride.
I have to admit, I was hooked after reading the first page and I'm now over 100 pages in. It's the sign of a good read when you just don't want this one to finish. Also, chicks with guns are the hotness. Mr Lansdale certainly has a wonderful way of describing his ladies and this one doesn't skimp a bit. God bless the characters of Hap and Leonard. I just wish Joe would write one of these every year as they just get better and better.
On a side note, is it just me or would anyone else like to see Joe take up the late Charles Willeford's Hoke Moseley character? Lansdale and Willeford have this unique and laconic voice which would mesh perfectly to create new situations and stories for this much loved character.

I think weather has put our foodshow plans on hold.
Unless Linda goes dressed like this, I think rain is going to prevent us from doing too much this weekend!

I'm all about the landscapes this week.
I feel a little jolt of excitement everytime I think about Manhattan.

A random shot.
I thought this made Linda look most thoughful and aloof to a degree. Although, if you ever met her she comes across as one of the most down to earth people one could ever come into contact with.

Shame the weather wasn't this nice today!
Rain, sun and more rain has been the order of the day.

We've just gotten back from Little Rollright to see the standing stone circle.
Even during the daylight it's a little macarbre. No wonder it was used as a location for the 1978 Doctor Who story, "The Stones of Blood". It was fun to walk in the footsteps of Tom Baker and Mary "Romana Mark 1" Tamm. Utterly great weather, very warm and very few tourists.
Lunch consisted of heading to Moreton-in-Marsh for a crafty cider and a ploughman's lunch here.
All in all, a great day!

My one attempt at playing Paparazzi.
I thought they might have been famous? Well, they did look pretty glam and it was NYC so who knows?

The weekend is here. About to grill some sausages and drink wine in the sunshine outside. Hoorah!

I think these chaps sum up today.
Sunny, hot and oh so wonderful.
Anyhoo, last night was spent at the AG Social Media Surgery gathering (btw, Acocks Green Carnival is happening on Saturday!). Met some new peeps and reminisced about the time Tom Baker came to Acocks Green to sign issues of Doctor Who Magazine (then called Doctor Who Weekly) back in 1979. Good times!

In much better spirits today. Resolved casework issue (me 1, universe 0)
During my lunchbreak I saw lots of sun bathers in and around any patch of grass that wasn't covered with dog poo. I wonder if they will end up as red as Darth Maul in the above pics. Break out the after sun, people!

It's been one of those days...
I kind of feel like this guy. A bit used and abused. Still, I have a plan of action tomorrow. Don't you just hate it when people use you to get what they want? In a work context, this is quite bad (not any of my workmates, this is casework related but still, it does my head in). Just had a cool shower and I have a whisky in my hand. Let's hope tonight brings relaxation and a long deep sleep tonight!
Oh yeah, the photo was shot on Fuji Neopan 1600 asa and processed using RC Art Papers and Lith chemicals.

A truly lazy and self indulgent day has been had by moi. It included sleeping in until 9:30 am (unheard of!!), a light lunch, some telly watching, video gaming (loving the Simpsons on the PS3 after completing Ghostbusters yesterday) and some pottering/vacuuming and tidying up.
Even though I have done oh so little, I could do with a nap. *yawn*

I had good intentions today to shoot some new photos but it never happened. Instead we got side tracked by the Food Festival in Brum.
The Caribbean chicken curry, ackee and saltfish, dumplings, rice and peas got the better of us :)
So, no new photos today. I'm a bad person.
