Working things out (365: 254) — Notes, facilitation, dealing with problems, finding solutions, this is what I do.

Royal Mail Sorting Office / Post Office, Slindon Street, Portsmouth

Not very subtle architecture… But I did love the way the sky was reflected in the windows and glass.

Solicitor – Today I had the first meeting about the divorce with my solicitor. There I was thinking I’d got some clarity in my life. In fact all I’ve done is stirred up all the muck and now I can’t see a thing.

Many hands mean no work gets done (365: 242) – I have important things to do, so how do I spend my time? Ignoring the important stuff in the vain hope it’ll go away while I play with my camera and Photoshop.

Ironed Out – Original caption: “Best part of three weeks away and I’m overrun by ironing.”

Ashlyn & Nathaniel – I’d just returned from my first visit to Springfield, Missouri, and for reasons I can’t recall stopped off at my brother’s house on the way home. 3

Camo Covered Toyota Tundra pick-up – My first trip to the US and this camo covered Toyota Tundra pick-up at Bass Pro was an essential photo opportunity.

Gary and Ginger on our first family dinner out with the kids.

Breakfast in America — Our first Breakfast. We got up early to get breakfast before church. It was my first opportunity to sample ‘Biscuits and Gravy’ and take my own special picture of Ginger. Aunt Martha’s Pankake House, Springfield, Missouri.

August 11, 2007, First Meeting – and just over a month after we realized we’d get married.

Flickr meet (365: 217).

Bi-centenary celebrations (365: 202) – 200 days deserves a bit of a song and a dance.

Graduation Week 2007 – I was not invited to my son’s graduation. I volunteered to help with Graduation at work. I thought it would distract me from thinking about my son’s graduation. It didn’t.

NIFOC (395: 192). I was chatting on the ‘phone when I noticed the light through the blinds and instantly had the idea for this shot.

Pompey Sunset – One of the joys of my flat’s westward facing window is the sunset.

Another ironing shot (365: 190) – Simple plan. This way I got two things done at once. Not exactly an inspirational photograph though. Maybe I should have dispensed with my clothes. Okay, maybe not.

365: 187 Reject.

EEE Building – campus on my lunch break.

Fresh (365: 175) – And that’s all I have to say about that. 2

My new home. I signed the lease today. 44a St. David’s Road, Portsmouth. The top flat will be mine from July 5th. I’m looking forward to getting out of temporary bed & breakfast accommodation and into my own place. 4
