Day 127 was busy, hence the backload. I was certain that I was without an image – we had been to town on the ferry to buy a new-so-us car. It turned out to be Radio Day. For the first time in years, the Land Rover does not sport such luxury, we have a car …

It’s [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_No_Diet_Day]International No Diet Day[/url] today. Easy peasy.

I don’t have a photo for today. It’s been a busy one. I’ll have to settle for a phone snap I took on the boat to town this afternoon. I notice the puzzle that we were working on was 1.2 — it’s sort of close.

The second outing of the newly-formed Sanday photowalking group was to depart Lady Village at the War Memorial today and to finish at our brand new Heritage centre for it’s opening ceremony. It’s International Firefighters Day today. Wonderful, thought I, I’ll grab a shot of the Fire Station as it is nicely situated immediately to …

It’s Yarn Shop Day. These are some of the yarns that we have for sale at Sanday Spinners. I guess that counts.

I did not go out to wash my face in the morning dew today. I was up too late. It’s May Day, and traditionally the cattle were turned out to pasture on this day. Many cultures traditionally celebrated the 1st May with a fire ceremony. I promise no flames came near this hairy coo – …
365:120 Bouncy, bouncy (not)
It turns out that 120 is quite an interesting number. It’s one Hundert, from the days before we began to count in a decimal base and a Long Hundred from the time when decimal started to be known. Fascinating. Actually finding photo inspiration today was difficult. Sometimes I wish that I lived in more civilised …

Today was difficult. 119 appears to be a very boring number. The date yielded loads of interest but nothing much to match my photographic props or inspiration. The freesias live on. Prof. Heinz Wolff was born this day in 1928. You may, like me, recall The Great Egg Race with fondness. Here are a pair …
365:118 This is Flora’s Holiday
When I read that today was the first day of the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floralia]Floralia [/url] I was whisked back in time to my days in the School choir, trilling Shadwell’s “Nymphs and Shepherds” to Purcell. Oh, happy days. I’ve made a bold attempt today but I can’t get those high notes any longer. [i]Nymphs and shepherds, come …
