A Fresh Start

I didn’t bother asking Smittee - we all know what the answer would have been. Instead, I took a lunchtime stroll with Splodger as far as Carrow Hill [map] and some remnants of Norwich’s city wall.

On our way back to the orifice I was taken by the modern “battlements” formed by the gable windows. […]

Lunch on the go
Hosted on Zooomr
This image is being hosted at zooomr which was recommended to me by Daisy. Now if I can just work out how to geotag all those photos I’ll be able to build a map of my holiday! that I’ve worked out how to geotag the photos I’ll be able […]

Ok then. Here you are. Two snaps from yesterday and three from today as more “teasers”. I’ll bring back something suitably tacky from Norway as a prize for whoever’s first to tell me the subject of the last photograph.

Clue No. 1: It’s at the top of Mount Fløyen.

Ignore me, I’m not here. If I was, though, I’d be teasing you with the view from my hotel room at 11:30 at night, Bergen from the top of Mount Fløyen, Bryggen and proof that the whole city (wildlife included) is obsessed with fish.

But as I’m not here, I won’t.
Adjø.

Sandwiched between visits to residential homes and to see Dad, the camera was busy.
Care home No.1. Local. Very nice. Didn’t smell of wee. In fact, very pleasant.
St Andrews Major’s church was en route to care home No. 2. I think there’s an ancestor or two buried there somewhere - I […]

As I mentioned in my middle-of-the-night post I quite literally didn’t get a wink of sleep last night. Not one.
I got to Norwich station - after abandoning a “dawn” photo safari - at a quarter to eight. I know my cheapskate ticket’s not valid until 9:30 but I had to make an alteration.

Even […]

All taken on my journey home … although not in the order displayed.

Where were we? Oh yes, I was sorting our my Saturday night, wasn’t I?
Well, I’d forgotten to mention the Mystery of the Lawn. When I’d arrived, I’d glanced out the back and had seen a lawn with three weeks’ of growth - it had been “too wet” last weekend for Wuglums to trim […]

Today was forecast to be the finest day of this long weekend. I hope the forecast was wrong because the weather was hardly conducive to photography.
In spite of the mostly overcast sky there were periods of sunshine, so I set off for a short trip in spite of the weather. Continuing along the […]

As I started off for Tesco’s yesterday evening it dawned on me that is was a surprisingly fine evening - I’m a little slow on the uptake at times.
As a result, I took a short detour, heading away from the superstore towards Wretham rather than into Chavtown.

Near Wretham

I hadn’t got far when the scene above […]

I paid a visit to Speedy this morning (as I had an errand to run before work at the post office - that fabulous Bowie CD is now on its way down under, as promised) and collected the last(?) of the photographs.
It’ll have to be the last as the house is now officially full until […]

As Anna asked so nicely, welcome to the revamped Em3 Gallery.

We start, inexplicably, in the living room (let’s assume you climbed in through the window, ok?). This first photograph is of an August “Sunrise over Southwold“. Much fiddling with the colour, of course, but you’ll get used to that.

Above the (hideous) fireplace is […]

It’s been a patchy day as far as the weather goes - periods of sunshine in between some rather enthusiastic downpours. I was out this morning to pick up my prescription *twitch* and popped in to see Speedy just to get some more clip frames for those ten by eights.
“You must be psychic,” […]

Blight

Yes, I know it’s a dodgy name, but it’s better than “Rape Scene”, which was my first thought.
I’m fortunate in that while the smell of rape is certainly strong, I don’t seem to react to it in the same way as, for example, grass pollen. I never used to react to anything like that […]

Do you think I have enough of my photos around me as I work?

How many can you spot?

Thursday 11th - Cosmeston
We visited Cosmeston before the doctor’s appointment on Thursday morning. As we watched the birds, a school party appeared, led by one of the park guides. He was pointing out the various breeds on view - swans, gulls, etc.
“There are ducks here too. This one’s name starts with an […]

Marie Antoinette had nothing on my dad. Cake forms such a staple of his diet that I’ve told him he’s in hospital because he’s the first known case of cakophilia.
This evening’s primary concern surrounded his evening meal but was very specific. Not “When will my meal be here, do you think?” but “When […]

Take a look at this photo, posted (and possibly my favourite from) yesterday:

Odd

Is it me, or is there more being reflected than there is above the water? Such as that “eye” shape at the top of the sign/bottom of the photo. I know it’s just a trick of the light, but it’s rather […]
