I have been feeling rather pporly for most of the week. It has been kept under control with various drugs, but it seemed today it had decided enough was enough and as the lyrics go “when the drugs don’t work, they just make you worse” and so I was off to bed and slept for [...]
Today was all about entertaining the kids, while squeezing in work where naps and helpful Grandma’s allowed to meet deadlines. The image is the treat we enjoyed for a hard days work.
Spent part of the day in London today wandering around and, naturally, photographing some of the Elephants in the parade. Really rather cool to have these scattered around the city, shame there aren’t more fun things like this in London’s park all the time. The full set of elephants is on my flickr stream, far [...]
Well, technically a macro adventure, but it makes you look at the small things around you in a different way. Had busy day doing client photo shoot, so took 30 minutes off to shoot and process these. Couple of my twitters buddys have been doing them this week, so I have joined them, thanks @reikanphoto [...]

Lovely to catch up and talk rubbish with other parents while the kids ran riot and filled themselves on party food (read: [...]
Given how little the sproglies get to see their dad Monday to Friday, I really didn’t think him going away one day earlier (albeit at the unearthly hour of 07:30) on the Sunday would have this much of an impact on them. I was wrong, knowing he had gone in a Taxi to America (apparently [...]
So, once more I declare myself too busy to spend much time on 365, but in my defense the start to today really did not bode well for a relaxing day ahead. So here it goes … Awake until midnight, then daughter decides to get up at 6am. Randomly. Convince her to lay quietly next [...]
