At one time there were eight: two of us, three Bengal cats and three collie dogs. Thankfully we still have the pair of lovebirds that are we two but the cat contingent is now down to one and the dogs to a pair, one of which has already had her card marked. The household is …

I had a fall about a week ago and hurt myself quite badly. It knocked the wind from my sails a bit and the camera lay unattended for a while. In short, I blobbed on my 365. [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/plumbum] I’m shutting up shop here and will continue to post on my paid account. [/url] I’ll do …

No themed pic today. Inspiration deserted me. I had wanted to do something for Peggy Lee’s birthday but how do you represent “Is that all there is?” I have the red and white flowers still, so I picked a red daisy to shoot. I can imagine that the variety could easily be called “Fever”, couldn’t …

It’s Geek Pride Day – which is also Towel Day (for DNA) and the Glorious 25th of May for Pterry. Of course it takes a bit of a geek to refer to Douglas Adams as DNA and Terry Pratchett as pterry, but I guess for today we take pride in knowing where our towel is …
365:144 Bah Lamb
You’re not wrong. That[u] is [/u]an odd photo. I did my 144 research yesterday. On this day in 1830 – [i]The nursery rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb” was first published as an original poem by Sarah Josepha Hale[/i]. Easy peasy. Today I would go forth and happily photograph lambs for an hour or so. …

365:142 By the most tenuous of connections…
Back-blipped Yesterday was fraught. We went to town. I took the camera. The day was busy, unproductive, cold, grey, windy and wet. The camera did not see daylight expect to snap my knitting for my blog as we travelled to Kirkwall. I thought that Day 142 was a blob. Happily I found a tenuous connection …

365:141 Unidentified caller
Snapped through the (sorry about this) mucky glass of my bedroom window. I thought it may be a Chaffinch but now that I see the photo, it looks not a lot like [url=http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/c/chaffinch/index.aspx]the RSPB says a Chaffinch should look[/url]. Perhaps it’s a Juvenile. Anyway: 141 is The telephone dialing prefix for withholding one’s Caller ID …
365:140 Char
140 char. The subject for today’s 140 handed on a plate. I’m not very twittery. More of an automated tweeter, really. Not sure I ever “got” the concept. Just put me under the heading of “permanently confused” It’s good to have a day that requires less thought. Am feeling below par and not apt to …
