Another day, another meeting, this time in a company in Bath. Although this was a good meeting, what set it apart from others was the appearance of a bowl of chocolate mini eggs! Woop, that made it a much more pleasant meeting experience – grabbing chocolate eggs in-between PowerPoint slides.

Please note anyone to whom I am due a meeting with …. Chocolate Mini Eggs please!

A busy day at Xerox preaching through the merits of XMPie – and another day driving in the glorious sunshine. Not a huge amount of opportunity for photos today either, so had to think of something this evening. What’s interesting is that some of the photos that I take within this project are purely for the shot and some are snapshots of memories in time. The great thing is that I know which is which.

Wow – what a glorious day with the sun out and shining. A few meetings today, but out driving in the sun which was lovely (I one have one sun burnt arm!). Even managed a fly by visit in support of Team Roz.

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again, that one of the great things about doing this project is being able to look back at what I was doing during the year. For example, in stark contrast to today, 3 months ago to the day I was with my head down in the London Underground and suffering London in the rain. From drab underground to fields of rapeseed in the glorious sun, what a difference 3 months can make!

Well the sun is out today, which makes a nice change and typical now that the weekend is over. Looking back on my photos for the past few days I thought that I ought to inject some colour into the proceedings, so took advantage of the sun on my small garden and captured these flowers in bloom. Thought that flowers might also cheer up my little sister (Hannah) and mate (Roz) who seem to suffering today as well.

Today was a good day with the kids. Bike ride and evening out to a live performance of Roald Dahl’s, The Twits at Rosliston Forestry Center. The weather wasn’t great but it held out with no rain and the kids enjoyed it immensely. The shot of today  had to be of Tilly’s response to Mr Twit eating worms for his dinner, which was a classic! Following that we had a play in the park before heading home.

A bit of a wet and miserable day today, which was a bit ‘pants’ considering that I had the bikes all ready for a bike-ride with the kids. Alas, we entertained ourselves inside, then went for some lunch before hitting the soft play center with the kids. I might have the aging body of a 40 year old but I am still a 25 year old at heart – and decided you are never to old to chase your kids through level of soft play equipment! There might have been a height limit in force, but I was moving to fast for them to catch me. lol!

Ah the question that I have asked myself on many occasions, “Why did the snail cross the road?”, but never found an answer for. Well yesterday I had the opportunity to ask one such snail as to why he was indeed crossing the road, but alas he did not seem to able to give any answers! I though that I would leave him be for a minute to compose an answer, but alas when I returned to complete the interview the snail seem somewhat flat towards our conversation, so I moved on.

Answers on a postcard, “Why did the snail cross the road?”

P.S. get me, posting my photo blog before mid-day!

Today saw me in Uxbridge for some meetings, but as promised I swung by one of my close Twitterati to say hello for the first time. That’s something that has been great by doing this project, meeting new people who I can call friends. Rosalyn is one of those people, just like I met up with Tim a while back, both who I now know through this project. Roz is housebound and fighting her illness with vengeance at the moment, so it’s great to meet her and see how she’s doing.

For anyone interested Roz is sponsoring herself to get out of the house by raising money for Spurgeons through her JustGiving site if anyone is interested.

Anyway, I managed to grab several minutes with Roz whilst she was out and about this morning, so ‘papped’ her whilst she was out and about! As you can also see she acted like a true celebrity in sticking two finger up to the paparazzi.

Been working and catching up at home today, and although the weather has been great I’ve not managed to get out and about – which is a bit of a shame. Either way I’ve had the kids this evening so managed to get a bit of play in. Tilly was most excited about the appearance of her peas after planting them the other week.

Originally, after planting them she stood and watched, waiting. I think that she thought that they were magic peas or something!

Today saw me up in Manchester with a client, looking at what they have done so far and looking at what they could be doing. All in all a good and creative meeting spent looking at all the possible avenues for what they have created so far; and what they might want to look at.

Either way this old building near-by caught my eye, so thought that I would capture that for today.
