Marmalade, I like marmalade.”

It’s one of my favourite sayings – and true to boot.After church I put in another day helping with the logging. It was hard hot and dirty work. I’m already aching from Friday’s exertions, so no doubt I’ll really be regretting it by Tuesday.

By bed time I was hungry again, so toast and marmalade seemed appropriate, not to mention a picture opportunity. Getzger also decided to get in on the action, and I decided to go with this shot showing his tail about to exit the picture.

Working late

Working late by Gary Allman

Only 99 more days to go.

This documentary picture a day doesn’t work very well when you never leave your desk. My day began at 7.20 am with the school run, then back home at my desk and I’m still here at 1 am.

Edit: I’m mildly dyslexic especially where numbers are concerned – I didn’t find it out until I started doing business accounts and couldn’t work out why they never balanced – I was typing in a lot of the numbers all jumbled up. The right digits, just not necessarily in the right order. The astute will have spotted that I have 109 days left to go…

Ginger said this picture needed some colour.

Now it has.

Return

Return by Gary Allman

Second day at the computer working on websites.

The work’s done and posted, as illustrated in today’s photo. All I need is the customer feedback, complete the inevitable changes and then to make it live. I guess I ought to clean my keyboard – this looks disgusting.

It seems we have a hand / finger theme developing this week. Vittles were getting low requiring a trip to Walmart, which was blessedly quiet after ten pm. All the aisles were chock full of palettes for restocking, blocking access and imposing long detours for life’s essentials such as kitty food, kitty litter and vodka. To top the experience off my debit card was declined.

Back home, while tasting the just purchased vodka, I checked in on my bank account. Despite there being ample funds it was showing an ‘available balance’ in the ‘you are about to get a threatening letter from your bank’ region. Expletive deleted.
