The builders have finished … well almost. 11 pictures

Moved in – With all the remaining untouched rooms in the house being decorated, I was not going to be able to keep an inside workshop, so I’ve moved my workbench and tools out into my first ever shed. Not only am I having to move my workbench, but all my store of DIY and hobby goodies, timber, cable, old electronics. So I have a second shed for stores. Packing all the stuff away I discover what I call ‘my favourite rope’. One-minute read, 4 pictures

An Englishman’s shed is his Castle (365: 113) – I’ve never had a shed before, but now I’ve got two. This one for a workshop and another for my spare timber, paint, empty boxes, and disused electronics that one day might come in useful etc. 2 pictures

Saturday in the sun (365: 105) – Just for a change I thought I’d take a picture straight after coming home from the traditional Saturday morning shopping (more nice ties bought), and before enjoying an afternoon basking in the sun. One-minute read, 5 pictures

Self Portrait of Gary Allman - March 2007

Thursdays (365: 82) – I recently wrote that I had yet to capture the ‘essence’ of myself. This, I think might be it.

Breakfast (365: 5) – 06:30, and breakfast – It took me two days to get this one

You Hoo! (365: 4) – Future Gary says: A truly awful picture that might have been improved by clean glasses and more depth of field.

Trim (365: 2) – A once a week task to stop my beard becoming unruly.

Dressed Rehearsal – I’m not going to have much time to get my shower shot, so I need to see if it will work in advance.

Quick Pic (365: 1) – A quick picture for the first day. I just love the light in the bathroom, and the mirror comes in very handy for seeing the picture on the camera’s display.

Mirror Ball – I took this picture of one of the mirror balls I used to construct the garden mobile when I was testing my new Fuji Finepix camera. The colours of the Virginia Creeper in the background are wonderful. One-minute read, 3 pictures
