Once upon a time this was about Me and The Boy. The it was Me, The Boy, The Cat and The Cat's Mother. And now, I'm not sure who it's about. How life changes when you least expect it!

How time flies when you're enjoying yourself
I've been gently scolded by one or two folk as my rate of post posting has fallen dramatically. I suspect that one or two others may be grateful at my lack of productivity, and the rest give don't give a hoot.
The week before last was the last 'supermoon' of the year...that's when its a bit closer to the horizon so looks ginormous. I practiced my photographic technique (put the light meter on centre spot, or stop-down - in this case by a massive five stops). I'm supposed to be doing a photographic course, but of the twelve modules, I've completed just two, so David Bailey has nothing to worry about yet. Anyway, these were the two pics, taken a couple of hours apart
I also re-edited one of my Angel of the North pictures so that it actually looks as I want it to
We went to a friend's 50th last weekend, and in true Essex fashion it was elaborate...a fabulous quartet played on the balcony whilst we supped champagne and then moved into a giant marquee where we were entertained by a Beatles tribute band. I was amazed at how many of their hits you can dance to. It was fancy dress, with a 1960's theme, so of course, The Cat's Mother went to town and I did what I could
It was a memorable party, most enjoyable, but a terrible mistake to decide to walk home when the local council has decided that to save money it's OK to switch off the street lights....
I don't remember doing anything else this week, and as there's nothing in the diary I can only assume we had a quiet few days at home in the evening. That seems most unlikely, especially as I know we missed The Great British Bake Off. Of course, from a work point of view, it's been busy because it's The London Design Festival, so I went to various events that have been more or less inspiring. A discussion about designer makers, a discussion about co-creation and co-design, and a reception for an exhibition for new designers. No wonder I remain tired and exhausted...
