Bin there, done that.

My morning routine has settled down over the past year and now goes something like this. Get up to the gentle tones of Sarah Kennedy reading through the mornings news papers on radio 2, this is a great start as by the time I’m fully awake I know what’s been going on in the world. A quick fuss of Kep as I open the bed room door he sleeps out side the room but normally right against the door so you have to fuss him as you go past. I then head down stairs for a cup of coffee, now my only real cup all day and spend 10 minutes watching TV or reading. By this point Kep has finish waking Caz and is down stairs giving me the eye as he wants his food and exercise. A quick game of ball in the garden and while he is eating I nip up stairs to fire up the PC. While he is out, doing his business I make my breakfast then let him back in and head to the office.
Once at my PC and still eating my weetabix, I start Firefox and open my emails, Kep settling down by my side, I start one of the best parts of the day, reading the comments on the blog. Mid way though this Caz shouts up that she is going, so I nip down stairs to give her a proper send off, I never miss doing this if I’m around. Then its back up stairs to finish the comments, check the stats, pop round my fav blogs and prepare to write this one. This is how it normally goes, but if the day is looking extra good I can some time sort out Kep and then head for the great out doors. Its hard to think what I used to do with my mornings before the blog.
Picture today is of a typical park bin, I liked the look of it so took the shot, it made it onto the short list for the blog and Caz spotted it and said it looked good, she is always a great judge, so here it is.

Blog Action Day - Climate change, virgin birth, flat earth.

Climate change, I have to admit that I’m very skeptical about the existence of climate change and the whole global warming thing. My basis for this is that we (humans) have only been here for such a short time and for a large period of that were not really in a position to judge what was happening around us. An even smaller period of time is the length of time we have been able to accurately measure things like temperature or the size of the ice caps, so to be able to say that things are changing outside of the norm, when we really have no idea what the norm is, is like seeing a snow flake and predicting the start of an ice age. Now I known that lots of very important people seem to have been convinced that there is a problem but remember past world leaders and experts also had some strange ideas (flat earth, virgin birth, communist ruling the plant, woman’s heads over heating if they learn too much). Are they right or are they wrong, I really do not know, I personally think that we do

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit

Blog of note!

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s
