Things To Make Me Smile (and a few things that annoy me)

  • Starting the Summer

    It’s the May Bank Holiday Weekend – although I will admit that I woke this morning wondering if it really was a bank holiday or should I be getting up to go to work, but I think that’s a normal reaction.  Anyway – May, Summer – I had a productive day on Saturday – I… Read more

  • Encounters

    Why did I let my neighbour erode my joy? Ok – scene – my apartment faces out to a carpark – that’s a spot of exaggeration – my apartment is built behind a row of houses and all the houses have their parking spaces at the back – so the view from one side of… Read more

So what makes me smile?  The internet! Previously the weather was simply something that… Read more

  • Bad Weather

    I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I do like bad weather, whether it’s wind or rain, hail or snow I love love love it. So here is a photographer that has captured some fabulous miserable weather and it all really does look absolutely fabulous – anyway his name is Christophe Jacrot and he has… Read more
