Enough! (365:153) – Keeping this project going is becoming a chore and is taking up too much of my time.

New Gloves (365:161) — I guess there’s no need to explain why.

Bull Shoals Lake – Normal Pool Elevation 654′ (365:146) – Currently the elevation is 696′. That’s a foot over its fully flooded design capacity. One-minute read

Lights, camera, inaction (365:145) – This was going to be another of those late night leaning against the wall shots.

Return (365:144) – Second day at the computer working on websites. The work’s done and posted, as illustrated in today’s photo. All I need is the customer feedback, complete the inevitable changes and then to make it live. I guess I ought to clean my keyboard – this looks disgusting. One-minute read

Late night glass of water (365:144) – Well, it is a picture, and I took it today. It meets the 365 Days criteria, what more could I want? Whatever artistic excellence and inspiration there was is on the decline again.

Antibiotic (365:143) – The wonders of hindsight enable me to declare this ‘the week of the digit’. It also enables me to declare this the week of extreme photographic, and probably documentary apathy. There’s a chance it might end up being only four days of digits and not a week. We’ll see.

Sunday night movie (365:142) – It was another day of missed photo opportunities and a sobering reminder of the fragility of our existence. Two-minute read, 3 pictures

Sock puppet by Gary Allman

Sock puppet (365:140) – It was late and I was running out of ideas, so here’s me and the sock I’ve been wearing on my hand at night to stop my stitches getting caught.

Clearing up the workshop (365:138) –

Three x-rays, one tetanus shot and twelve stitches later (365:135) – Do not try this at home.

Late-night Saturday (365:134) – Another day processing pictures. While everyone else went about doing family stuff I stayed put at the computer processing more of the outstanding pictures. I did fairly well, and I ought to be able to finish them tomorrow.

Processing (365:130) – I awoke in the middle of the night to the sound of a crash, with kitties in the house you get used to it, and I turned over and went back to sleep. I didn’t give it a second thought until Ginger came into the bedroom this morning saying how sorry she was. In her hand was the Nikon, in two pieces.

Saké (365:129) – This might be one of the last pictures taken on my Nikon. One-minute read, 2 pictures

At the High School Orchestra concert (365:125) – I give up, I forget what I did today. I know what I should have been doing, but I can’t remember what it was I did. 4 pictures

Making huaraches (365:123) – I meant to make a to-do list today. So I ended up doing all sorts of things that didn’t really need doing, and missing out on things I should be doing. Oh well. One-minute read, 5 pictures

Drawing (365:122) — Tonight I was working on the design of my next backpacking wood burner. 3

Living with cats (365:121) — Today I almost committed the ultimate 365 Days faux pas, because for the first time this year I forgot to take my picture. 2 2

Compressor coupling (365:117) – Tyres do not stay inflated around here. Two-minute read

Bedtime (365:116). One-minute read

Dirty Martini (365:114) — Easter Sunday. Up early, church, home, long afternoon nap, computer, and finally, dirty martinis. A sloppy picture deserves a faux Lomo effect.

I managed around three hour’s sleep, which I guess isn’t too bad. I was up at seven fifteen and helping out with breakfast. Before the end of the lock-in we held a short service in the church, and left for home at ten am. Instead of getting a nap, we went shopping, I spent some time at the computer and we had a visit from Dash and Leslie. At seven pm Lanie and I were back at church for the Easter vigil. Either we didn’t do these back in my days as a choir boy, or the choir never attended,
