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.”

Reading before bed (365:209) – I took the car in for a service and walked back in the morning’s 90°F temps. To get out of the heat for a few minutes I stopped at the library. Browsing the shelves I found an Iain Banks book I’ve not read.

Phew! What a scorcher – >And other tabloid headlines. You need to be British and of a certain age to understand the relevance of the title; of a certain age because with British weather the opportunities to use headlines like this are few and very far between.

Popcorn.

Day 205.

Wine and TV (365:204).

Day 203 – I’ve run out of ideas for titling these wall pictures. I should write a book – I’ll call it Facebook with lots of wall pictures.

Thursday evening service (365:202) – I could write a lot, but I don’t have the time. However, it was nice to get back to my regular routine.

And yet more picture processing.

Processing (365:200). Day 200! Only 165 to go. More vacation pictures being processed.

Working late at the computer (365:199) – This should be titled ‘Dirty Glasses’

It’s that wall again… (365:198) – I’m busy. In fact I’m very busy. There’s all the playing catch-up after our vacation, loads of pictures to process and a new project to start. Unfortunately updates will be a bit sporadic for the foreseeable future.

Half-cut – again (365:197) – After a month away on vacation my first job at home is to tend to my personal grooming.

Photo-lethargy strikes yet again (365:193) – UK June 2011 – Day 28. Yet more curry! We spent the day buying gifts and stuff to take back with us – including a trip to Gilbert’s sweet shop, which someone had told me, erroneously as it transpired, had closed. One-minute read, 2 pictures

Late at night sitting on my brother’s kitchen floor (365:191) – UK June 2011 – Day 26. Last week we were Scottish Episcopalians, this week we reverted to CofE, and made a final visit to St Margaret’s. 2 3

A photograph in which I appear to have a foot protruding from the back of my head. The foot does not belong to me. (365:188) – UK June 2011 – Day 23. The presence of said foot probably explains the stupid grin I have. Two-minute read, 5 pictures

Enjoying the scenery by Loch Bad a’Ghaill – UK June 2011 – Day 20. Today I met an old friend, it was the first time we’d seen each other in nearly forty years. Russell and I had said our goodbyes back when we left school in July 1972, exchanged a couple of letters and then lost contact. Thanks to the joys of the Internet we’d got back in touch about a year or so ago; he and his wife Chris have a bed and breakfast in Scotland; our planned destination for the day.
