Self Portrait

Pictures of me, taken by myself. I tend to go with the official (365 Days) definition of a self portrait: “A self portrait is a photo of yourself taken by you” … “The main thing is that you are both the photographer and the subject.”

Tubby (365:302) – Look closely at his eyes. Tubby is a Burmese cat of many names: Rotters, Rot-row, Tubster, Tubmeister, Irritant, and Pokey Paws. I suspect he is harboring an ambition to get his paws on an Uzi 9mm and get his revenge on us.

A trim was overdue

Today comprised church and sitting in the backyard, that sums up my day. I must have still been tired as I slept away part of the afternoon.

Gary and Lanie down by the creek (365:295) – Today we relaxed at Ginger’s parents. I relaxed so much I spent a good part of the afternoon fast asleep sitting on the porch of the guest house. 5

Family cookout (365:294) – Tonight we’re camping at Ginger’s parents.

Tired (365:293) – I got to bed at 3 am, and was up again at 7.30. One-minute read

Waiting for the trash man (365:292) – The plan was to get the work finished on the house, get the work inspected, have all the rubbish taken away, hire a trailer for the pick-up, load everything to go back to Springfield, and drive home – a day early.

Making Notes (365:290)

The quiet before the storm (365:289) – Tomorrow the work begins. Tom and I had an uneventful trip up to Chicago. We’re up here to clear Rebbie’s family’s house ready for sale.

Ginger and Gary reading Backpacker magazine while Sprinky sleeps (365:288) — Tomorrow at 7.30 am I leave for Chicago for the week.

Backpacking gear (365:286) – I’ve got a busy seven days ahead. Tomorrow I’m off backpacking with a couple of friends. Should be good; I’ve no idea where we’re going – somewhere on the Buffalo River in Arkansas. We’ll be back Saturday, and then on Sunday, I’ll be off at 7.30 am to Chicago with Tom to help clear a house and haul some stuff back to Springfield.

Not the best of days (365:285).

Another wall shot.

Working Late (365:282)

Today Ginger arrived back from Chicago. I was too busy catching up to take any fancy pictures.

Catch-22 (365:280). Tonight I watched Catch-22 for the first time in many years.
