Didn’t get home today until late, and man has the weather changed! Temperatures way down, the wind blowing a hooley and now rain as well. It wasn’t a bad morning, but can’t do photography at work! So this evening I needed the ‘creative’ bit of my brain and came up with the following. The balls magnification properties are quite funky I think.

Day 270~377
An ISBN is an International Standard Book Number. ISBNs were 10 digits in length up to the end of December 2006, but since 1 January 2007 they now always consist of 13 digits. ISBNs are calculated using a specific mathematical formula and include a check digit to validate the number. Each ISBN consists of 5 elements with each section being separated by spaces or hyphens. Three of the five elements may be of varying length: • Prefix element – currently this can only be either 978 or 979. It is always 3 digits in length • Registration group element –…

A colouring book is a type of book containing line art to which a reader may add colour using crayons, coloured pencils, marker pens, paint or other artistic media. Traditional colouring books and colouring pages are printed on paper or card. Some colouring books have perforated edges so their pages can be removed from the books and used as individual sheets. Others may include a story line and so are intended to be left intact.

Day 108~366
Next Sunday sees the return of one of our fave TV shows, Game of Thrones (the other being The Walking Dead) and Phil is re-reading the book. Thought I’d have a little look and see how far he’d got. 🙂
Day 29~366
“Nobody sees a flower – really – it is so small it takes time – we haven’t time – and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.” ― Georgia O’Keefe
Day 27~366
Le Vicomte de Bragelonne ou Dix ans plus tard is a novel by Alexander Dumas. It is the third and last of the d’Artagnan romances, following The Three Musketeers and Twenty Years After. It appeared first in serial form between 1847 and 1850. In the English translations, the 268 chapters of this large volume are usually subdivided into three, but sometimes four or even five individual books. I have 2 of the french books, would love to find the rest.
Day 19~366
My 2nd favourite camera is my SX70, which I’ve been neglecting so much since starting the 366, intending to shoot a few film packs when the weather perks up.
Day 18~366
This book is lovely, you can see from the previous day’s picture there are pages of beautiful artworks by a few different lady artists. It was published in 1922 so not far off 100 years old, and the language and pictures reflect a different world back then. But the gardening advice is still relevant.
Day 16~366
I went to a party last night and am having a recovery day today haha. Still managed to focus (just about) on my shot for today, now I’m going to veg out with the TV and some movies. And lots of medicinal cups of tea 🙂 Never again. Til the next time. 😀
