At Home

Pictures taken in the places I’ve called ‘home’ over the years.

The Last of the Sun — This small strip of deck gets the last of the sun before it dips below the houses opposite. 2

Moved in – With all the remaining untouched rooms in the house being decorated, I was not going to be able to keep an inside workshop, so I’ve moved my workbench and tools out into my first-ever shed. 1 4

Vacuuming the garden (365: 113) — I made a bit of a mess sawing up wood to make shelves for my new shed. I also need to finish picking up the gravel spilt over the deck in the winter when the storms repeatedly blew over the bamboo plant.

An Englishman’s shed is his Castle (365: 112) – I’ve never had a shed before, but now I’ve got two. This one for a workshop and another for my spare timber, paint, empty boxes, and disused electronics that one day might come in useful etc. 2

Late (365: 111) — This is it for today. No good, but it is a picture.

Keeping Trim (365: 106). This started as a bit of a reprise of my Day 2, though I’ve got a set of mains powered clippers now and so don’t trim my beard in the bathroom.

Yeah, well — My second attempt at my daily picture was to use the mirror, but I didn’t like the shots. I accidently set the timer to two seconds and pulled a stupid face to save wasting electrons.

Saturday in the sun (365: 105) – Just for a change I thought I’d take a picture straight after coming home from the traditional Saturday morning shopping (more nice ties bought), and before enjoying an afternoon basking in the sun. 1   5

Copycat, Copycat (365: 104). Mindfulgirl’s 365 picture looked so posh today, what with her matching outfit and tasteful decor, that I thought I ought to bring her back to her photographic reality.

Stairway to Nowhere.

Looking for… (365: 103) – heaven knows, but I’ve not found it. I’d settle for a couple of photo ideas. 2

Reclining (365: 102) — I took 40 pictures, and only this one was good enough. Looking back at this picture, I realize it’s probably one of the few images I’m uncomfortable sharing.

Clasp (365: 101).

In a corner (365: 100).

Firelight (365: 98) – It was 27°C (81°F) in the shade here today, so what better way to celebrate in the cooler evening than sitting by the fire with a glass of wine. 4

Storytime – ‘Extend your Range’ (365: 97) — AmbrosiaLove started it, Ginger Blue took it up, and Wenchy couldn’t resist. And now there’s a mini challenge. And I couldn’t resist another copycat opportunity either.

Where is Eeyore’s Tail?

What a Difference a Beer Makes.

And why not? (365: 93) – My planned 365 days picture was okay, but too mundane, so I took this.

The First Sign of Summer — The flying fish come out of winter retirement. 2

Feet up (365: 92).

Day 03. Stairs — Most of the clearing up is complete. I detest these stairs. I’ve spent hours looking at them, trying to come up with an idea of how to deal with them. So far, no joy.

Day 03. Fruits of our labours — That is a lot of rubble. It took one day to knock it down and two days to clear it up!

Break (365: 90) – Work on renovating the hall has begun. Today we took down the ceilings on the middle and ground landings and my work room. we also took out the wall between the landing and my work room.
