Pieces of me.

I haven't had time today to really think about a photograph. Finally all my belongings are in one place. It feels great to have my own things around me.

30.08.08

Look what Stu found working in the garden. I know it's a bit grim but makes a change from my usual pics.

29.08.08

I took this while waiting for removal men. Mom is having Grandpa's sofa restored. I love the little details on it.

28.08.08

Do something for me would you please? Tip your computer keyboard upside down and see what falls out.

For one of the Comms 4 it was Sesame Seeds. For me it was eyelashes. I felt like I was in the film Gattaca.

27.08.08

Mom has great jewellery and there's nothing like one of her cast offs to give an outfit some sparkle.

26.08.08

I think this is what you would call karma. Having made jokes about Stuarts man flu I now have a cold. Although I'm told my cold is not as bad as his man flu.

25.08.08

Hamson family trip to Barmouth. Proper British seaside.

24.08.08

It seems Stu has been struck by the dreaded Man Flu this weekend.

23.08.08

My trusty staples boxes are packed up again for another move, in fact their 4th since 2006.

22.08.08

We got an evening train and didn't get to the flat until really late.

21.08.08

Bostin Birmingham!

Scaffolding outside Thinktank. The first panels of the collage were laid today and I accidentally got myself in a shot on the local news.

20.08.08

Today I stuck other photographs (taken by people all over the West Midlands) onto a wooden board to help with the world record attempt for the biggest ever photo collage. I did one panel, there are 288 in total!

On the way home from another trip to Ikea.

Watching street lights pass over the car at night reminds me of falling asleep in the back of Roma's car, curled up in her tartan blanket. I think we must have been coming home from watching a pantomime.

18.08.08

Very frustrating - biscuits at the bottom of the packet are hard enough to reach without them sticking to each other.

17.08.08

Proper Sunday Lunch. We even had the traditional afternoon nap on the sofa once we'd finished.

16.08.08

V Festival. The music was great, the field was muddy, but this corner of artists was one of my favourite finds.

15.08.08

Preparations for tomorrows day trip to V festival. Have I forgotten anything important?

14.08.08

Mom has been decorating the vestibule. The removal of the radiator so that she could wallpaper behind it led to all sorts of boiler drama.

13.08.08

Got fed up of my flares dragging on the floor, so cut off the stripy turn ups.

12.08.08

Quiet and lonely without the rest of the Comms 4 today. Henri Mancini and Frank Sinatra made me smile on the way home though.

11.08.08

All I'm good for tonight is Sky plused episodes of Neighbours. Took a photo of the TV but thought that was just that little bit too lazy.

10.08.08

I've had the forms since April and I have until January to submit my tax return online. But I just don't understand it. I managed a cash flow spreadsheet today though, so progress at least.

09.08.08

We did another show today. It was the best so far, a proper country fair with a dog show and vegetable and cake competitions. This little dog walked the agility course, he was really chilled out about the whole event.

08.08.08

New Turtle Sanctuary, Sea Life Centre, Birmingham.

I really wanted a photo that would show that the date is 08.08.08 but got distracted by the fishes. Pretty happy with this image though, as I took it through a tank. May have to get a big print of this one to see how it turns out.

07.08.08

I bought these 25p Spiderman flying discs from Woolies for Stu. How you get them to fly is beyond me.

06.08.08

Scrapbooking with Comms 4.

I like a nice font, and these stickers are right up my street.

05.08.08

Rain rain rain. Soggy trousers, sodden shoes. Feet up over the heater in reception.

04.08.08

This verse I read on the train was very appropriate given that I had left work early as I felt unwell.

Charlie and the great glass elevator - Roald Dahl.

03.08.08

Big spot.

02.08.08

Waiting for the train at Codsall before seeing the 'practically perfect' Mary Poppins.

01.08.08

Ladies night.

Slightly blurred picture, slightly blurred vision.
