Weather is still not good enough for this kind of thing...

...but, might mean time for other stuff later!

Just got drenched to the skin by the heavy downpour in Brum. Luckily my train home wasn't cancelled!

And to think I was hoping for this kind of weather today. That'll teach me.

Media I am currently indulging in:

It's Comic Book Day today!

And if you haven't picked up this, you don't know what you're missing! A must read if you like bears and a distinctly unique outlook on life!

Buy it now and make the artist's day :)

Another macro shot from the garden for today's photo.

Had a bit of a horrific experience in Tesco during lunch today. I shouldn't listen to staff members conversation but the most inappropriate thing came out of this guy's mouth. It was racist/insulting/sycophantic and just plain wrong, all at the same time. About 5 people's mouths dropped open when they heard it. I think Tesco need to train its staff in diversity.

After attending an excellent Social Media Surgery last night, courtesy of Podnosh (AKA Nick) I felt compelled to blog a pic of the area in which I live.

Insomnia Pics: 6

I do try to divorce my "public" persona from my "private" one and I have neglected my home village. Acocks Green has been very good to me over the years so it's time I put something back.

For the record, this pic was taken around 4:30 am on a Saturday morning about 3 years ago when my insomnia was at its height. I really love photographing places in the early hours as they have a most ethereal feel to them.

I am such a geek

I just ordered this. Is there no hope for me I wonder? Oh bum.

Candid street shot in NYC.

I know it was naughty to take a shot without permission but I don't think I would have gotten the result I was aiming for.

I am not sure if the weather is going to last out today.

No photography for me today!

After the Ewok sarnies inspired post from yesterday I thought a little beauty would be the order of the day.

Oh yeah, isn't the presenter who took over from Carol Vorderman on Countdown the *hotness*?

I have this urge to watch Return of the Jedi tonight.

_MG_9056

Not sure why, could be something to do with the buffet sandwiches they served today at training. I am sure the mystery meat was roasted Ewok! It was a bit too gamey for my taste.

Bugger it.

_MG_7885

Half way through the week and I thought a shiny pic might lift my spirits. It's been an uphill struggle today with fatigue and training. Not a good combo. A better kind of combo would be something with spicy chicken and a nice sidedish. Or steamed dumplings from here.

These buildings kind of reminded me of a tuning fork.

Also, the photography world seems to be split into two worlds - those who are Canon users and those who aren't. Thankfully I am in the former :)

What 'ch'you talking about, Willis?

Sometimes I really wish my cats could talk.

I've been waiting for an excuse to use this photo...

_MG_8602

...but why the hell should I have an excuse? It's fab and tacky so what the hey. Burgers on Coney Island are *good*

(Virtual) Compilation tape!

I've been messing with Spotify and thought I would share this with you.

It's a really cool bit of software and the link will allow you to pretend I sent you an individualised compliation especially for you, you and you.

Shamelessly stolen from Charlie Brooker.

Daily Photo #536

A superb day, got lots finished and many many loose ends/complex case points.

So to celebrate I offer another Linda photo.

_MG_7861

I just liked her "improv sci fi" pose in this one. Fun fun fun. Need to do another Linda shoot soon. Seems like ages ago! Have a great weekend everyone.

Not a bad day, two more wakeups until the weekend.

_MG_1308

I think a drive out to somewhere country-fied like Warwick or Stratford may be on the cards for the weekend if the weather is good.
