We are having the house decorated at the moment.

I want to get out with my camera but don't have the energy to lift it.
Sounds like you need a head torch, which also happens to be handy for night photography!

I have thought about this, but knowing me would forget I had it on and go to the supermarket looking a right plonker.

Some people call me 'strange'.
I prefer 'unconventional'.
But I'm willing to compromise and accept 'eccentric'.

Bank holiday here tomorrow (Ascension day) and guess what? The weather will be cr*p. We have had a lovely few days, including today (a slightly cooler 22) but tomorrow we will be lucky if it makes it to 13!! Not that it matters to us - everyday is a holiday .
No excuse not to work in the garden tomorrow I guess, unless it chucks it down too.
Meanwhile all the local kids are gathered opposite our house, boys on one patch of grass, girls on another, sunbathing, swimming and playing football in the road. Clearly no one has told them (as we were when we moved in!) that swimming is not allowed in the waterway. They are enjoying themselves and i can't see they are doing any harm . It is the miserable people on the other side of the water with their private moorings who got the council to ban swimming.

Just had an epic day at Skipton. What a happening place.
I'm still working towards my "Quintessence" 25th negative

Haven't been to Skipton in decades.
Currently without a bathroom, and without summer. Who stole summer?
The bathroom will be back and improved in a week or so but summer???
No photography going on in this neck of the woods .

Best Fathers’ Day ever here in Cornwall, treated to lunch by wife and son at a farm shop where they serve their own cattle as beef. Huge delicious portions and wine, followed by a refreshing walk along the beach collecting shells then back for tea and cake.
