Congrats Annaj! Achievements, erm... getting up this morning for work, depositing little'un at nursery and getting in on time(ish) when I was up most of the night with her teething! (managed to settle her quite quickly but could not then get back to sleep for the life of me) and can't get over her staring at me with those big brown eyes with a, "mummy stop the pain please" look in her eyes, I look as though i've been smoking wacky backy all night my eyes are sooo red! (last of her teeth coming through and she's fine now and apparently (according to the nursery) sleeping like a log).

I have achieved today something rather fabulous....

I have managed to go away to a city (Barcelona) and not write a schedule of activity beforehand.

I cannot tell you what an achievement this is ... I have managed (gasp) to be spontaneous.

Tremendous!

I removed a silver birch

Changed the colour of a woman's jacket

Changed the style of a woman's hair

Changed her shoes

....all done in photoshop for an image for a mag.


I walked a dog,

I bought two Bronica GS-1 6x7 film cameras for a stupidly small amount of money...watch out eBay.

And i brought home a 300mm F2.8....hired sadly.. :-((


I'm now about to update my website!

Thanks HonaloochieB.


Funnily enough you're not the first person to say I'm like Monica (good or bad thing? I'm not sure) but I don't like gum and would certainly never give it to small children!

You're welcome AnnaJ. Being like Monica - good.


Feel free to substitute gum for acid drops, sherbet lemons or Spangles as you see fit.

It's odd with these things sometimes.


Perhaps we never met in a previous life.


Less strange things have happened you know.

    • I have been thinking about it and what I have loosely come up with so far are sites and types. Sites Here, Comment is Free, the Independent, the BBC (difficult as their comments section is only ever on trivia), The Telegraph (less so but increasing), The times (rapidly increasing), New Statesman, Spectator (much less so but some increase) even the Daily Mail and UnHerd (perhaps even union platforms, agit-prop and "progressive" platforms, XR, "middle-East", Just Stop Oil, Reddit, Bluesky, Truth Social etc.) I am sure the AI will find more to cross-reference. Types Astro-turfers, single-issue obsessives (frequently overlap with Astro-turfers), floral enforcers, ideologues, political staff, hypocrites, luxury belief pushers, Igors and Renfields. The vast majority are; normal local residents a bit frustrated with something; those looking for a tradesman; or just the friendly saying hello and looking for a bit of community. Spartacus thank you. Although you should probably find something else  more interesting to occupy your time; my energy for this is rapidly deflating. It won't disappear and I will get it done (once I work out which AI and which parameters to use) but it might not happen for a while. I saw your comment on the PIP thread; you have to use your single worst day to apply. Being bravely determined not to be defeated (a quality most normal people find admirable and honourable) means your claim can easily be rejected or at least made difficult. "I will get up, I will walk to the shop, I will cook". Those are the tests you have to make clear you only ever fail at. Sorry but its the truth. I wish you good luck with it.
    • Going by tracking information they go via Croydon and East Dulwich (Peckham) sorting offices. Round my way, and I know it varies from street to street, delivery of tracked items brought by the regular postman is mostly reliable. I've noticed if there isn't a postman doing a regular round, there may be a walking postman just delivering the tracked items. 
    • Are the parcel services organised by the local sorting office? We always notice parcels delivered by the vans are delivered on time but those that come via the postie can be unpredictable and we often get a "you were not in" when no-one even attempted delivery.
    • Yes, this thread has got weird.
