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.”

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. 😀

In times of stress, my default remedy is a series of well written books with complex themes, characters and plots. History is a good deal of it. I find Manda Scott’s Boudicca and Rome series, Ben Kane’s Spartacus and Hannibal series are perfect for everyday stress and strain relief. But when stress level reach popping point, then it is time to bring out the Game of Thrones set. 5 huge books of immense scope allegorically encompassing the themes set out by my former authors. George Martin the author of Thrones is a strange and interesting character, but that’s neither here or there. I’ve read some of his other books and they are very different, the Thrones series will be his abiding legacy. The final episode is now being written according to his website, and I’m not sure I want an end to it really, at least not till I retire and stressy stuff is a negligible unit. Manda Scott is in the middle of ‘doing’ Joan of Arc, can’t wait, and Ben Kane is ‘doing’ Hannibal 3, so much stress relief to look forward to! Bring it on!!
